Families and Individuals

Conflicts within families and between individuals arise for many different reasons. Disagreements become disputes. Hurt becomes anger.

Restorative Mediation between parents and teens, siblings, other family members, or friends, alleviates these harmful emotions, resolves the issue at hand, and establishes mutual agreements to avoid future conflict.

Let’s just unpack this a bit
“Colette’s motto seems to be, “Let’s just unpack this a bit”, whether inviting a client to share what is crucial, looking at the learning of a completed mediation, or finding an ethical solution in a charged circumstance. Colette combines vision with limitless energy, yet is always perceptive to the individual’s concerns and progress. Families, youth or business people find empathy and even-handedness within her focussed approach.”

Positive connections and building understanding
"I’ve been privileged to work with Colette for over 3 years, observing first-hand the positive connection she creates with all parties involved in disharmony. Her communication skills help clarify the problems, assisting participants in moving forward towards a better understanding of each other. Her expertise in supporting parties in conflict to work towards a sensible solution demonstrates her understanding of the nature and needs of conflict resolution. Her background in grief counseling makes her particularly adept in working with hurting people."
