About Me
Mediation Experience
I have been mediating disputes since 2006 when I qualified as a civil and commercial Mediator. I am a Fellow of the Civil Mediation Council and was awarded Mediation Achiever of the Year 2021. I am a non-practising solicitor.
I have mediated well over £100,000,000 worth of claims in my career. You can see examples of the kinds of cases I have worked on below.
I live on the Fylde Coast in the north west of England but mediate across the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands.
My mission
To provide expert mediation services tailored to the unique needs of each individual case, assisting people resolving complex and challenging disputes. My goal is to offer comprehensive support and guidance throughout the mediation process, ensuring that all parties feel heard and understood, and ultimately reach a satisfactory resolution.
To be a trusted independent neutral, dedicated to empowering individuals by facilitating communication particularly where previous attempts to resolve the matter have been unsuccessful. I provide the necessary tools and strategies to overcome impasses and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
