Lisanne, assisted us in keeping our focus on the best interests of our child. Without Lisanne facilitating and directing the effective communication between us we would never have thought the results achieved were possible.
We are both incredibly grateful for the service we received and very much appreciated the timely manner in which we were able to be seen.
Lisanne listened and contributed appropriately and we both felt heard, understood and not at all judged which helped us feel comfortable to openly discuss things. We couldn't have asked for a more effective and efficient service. Being treated with respect, compassion and empathy made such a difference and we now have reached the end goal and have a clear parenting plan and foundations for an amicable co-parenting relationship.
Thank you very much Lisanne. Couldn't recommend a better mediator.
I called Lisanne and she spent time on the phone with me explaining how family mediation worked, the supporting role she would provide and just listening to me during this reasonably stressful time.
Lisanne provided quick and professional assistance that supported both my daughter’s father and myself and ensured that guidelines were followed to ensure neither party was put at a disadvantage. As I was at least two and a half hours from Fremantle, Lisanne made appointments and arrangements with this in mind. Our final meeting was done via teleconference and worked remarkably well.
I was extremely happy going through Life Mediation and would recommend them to anyone who requires professional and reliable family mediation. I would also say that even if you live a couple of hours away from Fremantle the traveling is well worth it.
Lisanne was amazingly supportive and professional during the stressful mediation sessions. She supported both parties and facilitated a safe and constructive environment which ensured neither party was put at a disadvantage.
I was extremely happy with Lisanne and would recommend her to anyone who requires professional, supportive and timely mediation.
I wanted to write to you quickly and say thanks for your time during mediation. I was referred to you by my legal firm and I have already recommended you to a friend of mine. Your calm and straight up approach was refreshing and after the first session with you I felt I was doing the right thing and had found the right mediation service. Thank you.
As for feedback, I was very happy with the manner in which you conducted your work. I was met with understanding and patience as well as a clear and understandable description of the mediation process. This along with the fast responses to my calls and emails made me feel as though I had made the right choice in dealing with life mediation.
Your attention to detail was excellent and I found myself leaving your office with a refreshed feeling of hope that I feel I had almost lost entirely.
I would definitely recommend life mediation to anyone who needs the service and rate the experience 10/10. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Lisanne for everything you have done for me.
