Fiona was very professional and listened to us. She understood and provided professional assistance to both parties and gave you the opportunity to make your own decisions.
Fiona helped me enormously at a very stressful time, to see a way forward.
I am so appreciative of your time and your patience. In a very stressful and emotionally draining situation you provided so much encouragement and support and I thank you so much for all your time and effort. Thank you again - the world is lucky to have dedicated professionals like you.
Fiona was a brilliant mediator. Professional and very pleasant in her manner, even in a very stressful environment.
It was enormously helpful to have the mediation and you helped to get things moving. You managed the process so well and helped us step back from the emotion of the situation. Our Parenting Plan was well drafted and assists with our communication about the arrangements for the kids.
