A Message from Danielle,
Welcome to my world of mediation, where I've spent many rewarding years assisting individuals, couples, and families through one of their most challenging journeys in both parenting and property matters. My experience encompasses a wide-ranging background in social work, mediation, counselling, dispute resolution and family and domestic violence work. This has allowed me to utilise a multitude of skills and strategies around children’s physical and emotional development, co-parenting problems, interpersonal and relationship repair, communication and conflict resolution coaching.
For parents, my emphasis is on being child and future focussed, while helping you retain your emotional wellbeing and allowing you to steer a positive course of action towards a more peaceful future. But, it's not just my professional credentials that define me. It’s my commitment to finding resolution. Why does this inspire me? It's the pursuit of helping you navigate the mediation process with as little angst and damage to your emotional mental health as possible. It's also about uncovering those peaceful, lasting and practical solutions, which you may not find without a helping hand.
Our mediation process is a little different to others. After many years of helping clients, I have realised that one very important ingredient is missing from the mainstream mediation processes, in both parenting and property matters - the resolution of conflict stemming from a separation (and more than likely, a past relationship). During our initial time together, we will focus on how to manage any on-going conflict, past resentments or historical relationship angst, in order to bring the very best final result to your agreement.
In my daily life, my inspiration is drawn from the simplicity of health, contentment, cherished friendships, and family bonds and the beautiful Gold Coast where I live. These are the cornerstones of what truly matters to me. So, if you are in search of a conflict-free approach and a time and cost-effective solution for parenting agreements, property settlements, or family disputes, you've found your mediator. I am truly dedicated to making a positive impact to your situation and helping you find a more peaceful way forward.
