About YOU and Nancy

Welcome - you are in the right place if you are experiencing family tension and/or conflict and wish to resolve these in a constructive, emotional and more timely manner. Nancy can be a helping hand in starting the conversation, even when the situation seems impossible.

Why choose me?

‘A Person’s honesty establishes Trust … and Trust is the essence of Success’ EFK

My name is Nancy. I bring a unique international background that has been shaped by diverse life experiences. These experiences have made me passionate about helping families navigate times of change and difficulty, with empathy and clarity.

I was a specialist Family Lawyer in England & Wales for more than 20 years, most often with an international focus. I witnessed professionally and personally the emotional and financial strain that legal processes can place on families. Despite all the best intentions, legal processes often leave a damaging impact on families. Therefore, I chose to train with Resolution as a Collaborative Lawyer in 2010 and then as a Family Mediator in 2015.

In 2024, and after witnessing how hard it was for my clients to reach lasting agreements and sustain cooperative parenting within the legal processes, I decided to close my legal practice to focus solely on Family Mediation.

I wish to encourage families to consider their family relationships differently, with compassion, respect and mutual understanding. My motto and mantra for is your family, your voice, your solutions.

Since 2015, I have been an English Family Mediator. In addition, and since July 2025, I am a Médiatrice Familiale Diplômée d'État in France. Therefore, I can adapt my practice to suit your family's needs by offering Family Mediation either with English or French Family Mediation approaches. The sessions can take place in English, French or a mixture of both. In both practices:

My Vision is to accompany you in resolving tension and/or conflict, and inspire the use of methods which lead to positive and lasting outcomes. We will also explore together whether other professionals may also support you.
My Mission is to assist in the management of tension and/or conflict through promoting constructive, creative and cooperative approaches to its resolution. I also seek to promote public awareness of the value and practice of constructive conflict resolution.
My Values I believe in the power of ethics, transparency and communication, laying the foundation for positive relationships, and providing the tools for long-lasting agreements.
