‘Making the difference’ is what makes Clare Madeline Mediation

I have helped hundreds and hundreds of people and couples over the course of my legal and mediation career.  I am passionate about my belief that the process you choose to resolve your separation and the person you choose to work with can really make a difference.  I put you at the heart of the work I do and take pride in the professional relationship I will have with you in the mediation process.  There is no better job satisfaction than receiving your positive feedback.  This is what makes me tick and I thank each and every client who has worked with me or chooses to work with me in the future.

I know that very often the last place you want to be is coming to terms with the end of your relationship.  I value each and every recommendation and testimonial received and hope this helps others select a process which can really change the way you view your separation or divorce.

Here are some recent client testimonials of those who have worked with me in the legal/ mediation process:-

Mrs K

Thank you for your time. I found the experience extremely positive, and having reflected there are many things I can now see from the other point of view. We have already started discussing the children  – which after 6 years is a great step forward. I am hoping that we can continue to behave in this way which can only provide the security and family environment for the children – albeit in 2 homes.

Mrs M

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help and advice over the last few months. You’ve been enormously helpful and reassuring during what has been a distressing time for me.  I’ve very much appreciated your calm, balanced and professional advice and for providing this in a timely way.

Clare works hard to provide fair and constructive environment for individuals to work jointly towards resolution. She sets clear goals for each session and the overall process. She is an excellent host, kind and empathetic and yet, manages the process with firm hand. I highly recommend mediation and in particular, working with Clare Madeline Mediation.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for everything you have done for me and my children. I have found you to be very honest, professional, respectful and patient with me particularly as I have dyslexia. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Mrs L

Clare was very helpful and information from the start.  I felt she was always honest in her assessment and could trust and rely on what she said, even if it was not always what I wanted to hear.  Clare was always prompt and timely throughout the process and whilst I hope not to use the service again would have no hesitations doing so.

Mr H

I would like to say a big thank you to Clare who has dealt with all my affairs very efficiently.  She treated me with a lot of compassion at a very difficult time for me and felt she had a good understanding of my situation without any judgment.  I hope all your clients have such a positive experience as I have had.  Many thanks again.

Clare represented me in the custody of my two boys and securing their surname.  Clare is hardworking and conscientious and works hard to be fair to both parties.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Clare.  Thanks to Clare I gained the custody of my two boys which has brought me so much enjoyment in my life thank you Clare.

Thank you for your help in getting through the mediation process. I really appreciated your services.

Mrs D

Dear Clare,

You have been truly magnificent. Thank you for all your help.

Mr D

Again thank you so much! Genuinely have been a huge help.

Mr P

You managed to achieve something that I viewed as pretty much impossible when I first came to see you, so will always be extremely grateful for your help. I felt you had a very good way of picking up on tricky points and managing the discussion so that there were no flare ups. We both knew where the boundaries lay. You were methodical/professional with what needed looking at and communicated it in a very clear and calm manner. I think the overriding benefit from the first visit to the last session was that your work environment promoted a feeling of calm, which helped me remain comfortable even though we were discussing some very uncomfortable things.

So I would just like to express again my thanks for your assistance as we are all able to move on with our lives. I am feeling better in myself, so am able to offer more to support the children, which certainly is a bonus during this difficult time.  Thank you.
