What people say

Marianne is very calm and structured, clear with her directions and an attentive listener. She is very capable of dealing with uncomfortable and potentially derailing behaviour, defusing the situation and keeping the mediation process on track. She has great patience and empathy, remaining impartial and non-judgemental throughout. I would highly recommend her professional skills in mediation.
Dr Monica Hill, Trustee, West Sussex Mediation Service & Volunteer Assessor Raleigh International
Having previously co-mediated with Marianne on a complex NHS case and being impressed by her compassion and expertise, I had the pleasure of recently co mediating a larger multi party mediation with Marianne. This was a very complicated case, involving highly skilled technical staff in a private sector multinational company. Marianne took charge of the preparatory work which was exemplary: focused, detailed and constructive. During the sessions themselves, I was impressed by Marianne’s coaching skills, her empathy, her ability to reframe and summarise and her unfailing optimism. I can fully recommend Marianne as her dedication to establishing common ground and encouraging the parties to move forwards and focus on the future through her mediation skills were second to none.
Alexandra McAdam Clark, Mediator and Assessor, McAdam Mediation
Marianne is an experienced and professional mediator. She skilfully steers parties in conflict towards a solution that they own and buy into. Marianne demonstrates empathy for both or all parties while remaining completely objective and driving the process towards a win-win solution. Where appropriate Marianne is particularly good at getting the parties to first visualise, and then to actively plan to get their relationship back onto a positive footing, drawing inspiration from better times they shared before the conflict temporarily derailed their relationship(s). Highly recommended.
