Mediation and Mindfulness

Posted on February 13, 2011 by cathy

In my role as a mediator, I find mindfulness a very helpful tool as it enables me to be aware of what is happening with clients moment to moment in the mediation process without judgement and helps me to understand my own emotional reactions.

Divorce and child support – Mediation (Dublin Ireland)

Posted on January 9, 2011 by cathy

Mediation is a tool to resolve conflict following family separation, family breakdown or divorce and assists parents in reaching agreement including child support and child access.

I have assisted many couples to reach agreements that were mutually acceptable.

In my own research I have found that there is a lack of awareness of the benefits of mediation particularly by co-habiting parents and this was also found in Glover, 2008 research.
