I specialise in developing and encouraging techniques to improve communications, particularly those that have become difficult, or near impossible.

.My expertise is based on 13 years of being a magistrate, directing the Discrimination Office at UCT for 19 years, and especially my experience as Childcare Commissioner (Children’s Court) that influenced and shaped my approach in matters involving couples, children and parents at war.

I am based in Cape Town, and work with families, parents. I am accredited with FAMAC (Family Mediators Association of the Cape).


I offer:

As Divorce/Family mediator and Parenting Coordinator, I can assist with:

  • Parenting Plans: drafting, implementation, sustainable compliance
  • improving communication between children/teenagers and parents
  • Blended families (stepchildren and parents)
  • Elderly parents: living with you and/or requiring care (dementia)
  • Family Estrangement: assistance to engage estranged families in conversation
  • Dads in Conversation: a mentorship programme, focusing on advice, support and practical guidance on strengthening your relationship with your children
  • Online sessions, consultations and advice available on request.

Contact me for a 10 minute free telephone consultation, to get a brief idea of my approach, as well as cost.
