Resolve Parenting

Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner

My professional journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to supporting families and children through times of transition, tension, and change.


I bring a calm, compassionate, and outcomes-focused approach to Parenting Coordination and family mediation. I recognise that no two families are the same, and I work hard to ensure that every process is tailored to meet the unique needs, values, and dynamics of those involved. My practice is grounded in respect, flexibility, and a strong belief in the capacity of individuals to resolve challenges when given the right support and environment.


I see relational tension not as a failure, but as an indicator that something within the parenting dynamic or family structure needs attention. Parenting Coordination offers a safe, structured, and supportive space to work through these difficulties in a constructive way. It helps parents strengthen communication, reduce discord, and stay focused on what matters most—the wellbeing of their children.


As a Child-Inclusive Practitioner, I understand the importance of ensuring children are heard in the process, while always prioritising their safety and emotional wellbeing. I am committed to keeping children at the centre of every conversation and decision.


It is a privilege to walk alongside families during some of their most challenging moments and to help create pathways toward more peaceful, cooperative, and sustainable co-parenting. My goal is to support parents in finding solutions that are tailored to their circumstances and, most importantly, serve the best interests of their children.
