Client Testimonials
Client: KJ September 2025
“I can highly recommend Joanne for family mediation, she is very understanding, very patient and will do anything that she can to help you, like signposting you to other helpful services. I was very hesitant at the beginning of the mediation process, and she constantly put me at ease. I’m glad I choose Joanne as it’s been a very positive experience.”
