"JD is a very professional, non-judgmental, calm and appropriate in managing all points of the mediation process. JD is a highly skilled mediator. He has a non-biased approach, and an ability to manage difficult issues and points of discussion in a non-threatening way, whilst maintaining focus and a clear direction. 

I highly recommend his service."

"I always place you as 1 of the 3 FDR practitioners that I recommend to clients when they come to see me before doing FDR."

"Thanks again for your help through this process. It was quite intimidating having never been through it but your professionalism and genuine care for outcomes is very appreciated. Despite the neutrality of your role, it was comforting to be handled with respect and kindness and I very much appreciated it."

 "JD has a physical presence tempered with a firm, decisive, yet calm demeanour. He was empathetic without being condescending. When I overreached as to my expectations or vented my frustration with the 'system', JD patiently explained the difference between 'negotiation' and counselling and brought me back on 'track'. Keep up the good work. You cannot solve every person's problem, but your professionalism is appreciated."

"100% satisfied. I felt very confident with the information provided and the outcome of the session. Being reminded that the safety of the children is paramount and that it is my responsibility to keep them safe. JD's service is very affordable, understandable, relatable and considerate. I came away with a sense of relief after our meeting, knowing that even though I am on the Family Court journey and it will be difficult, it is the right avenue for my children and I. I absolutely have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend JD's service."

 I was highly satisfied with how the day went. I didn’t have high expectations leading up to it. I was pleased that it was unbiased, that both views were taken on board. There was a positive approach from JD to achieve a good outcome for both [the other parent] and myself. I couldn’t fault the service. I was really impressed. I would absolutely recommend this service to others.
