      If you are going through a Divorce and would like to sort out your financial and childcare arrangements, I would highly recommend contacting Katy. I had previously spent thousands of pounds playing 'ping pong' with Solicitors but wish we had just gone straight into mediation from the beginning. With Katy's help, we managed to come to an agreement in a timely manner at a reasonable cost.

      Thank you so much for your help. Our Mediation session has been invaluable to me. Since our meeting, things are progressing well. K and D have spent some time with me and we are taking the small steps, as discussed, to re-establish the foundations of what we had before. The main point is that mine and K’s communication has been improving and early signs show that we are working together well.
