Sometimes when we send out information to invite each party to attend mediation the response we et back is something along the lines of “I’m willing to sort things out but the other person is just completely unreasonable”. It’s not unusual to get a response like that from both parties! This video talks more about this idea that the other person is the unreasonable one. We hope you will find it helpful.
You may have read something about MIAMS online? Or you may have been told by your lawyer that you need to see a mediator for one? But you may be utterly confused as to what this entails and what you need to do and why. This video explains more about MIAMS (Mediation Information and Assessment meetings). It talks about when you might need one and why and what they entail.
In this video Louisa Whitney shares her personal story of why she was drawn to be a family mediator and why she gets such a buzz from the work that she does:
Albert Einstein apparently said “the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result”. This can be applied to many situations and certainly to conflict and relationships following a separation. In this video Louisa Whitney talks about this and how to break out of this cycle.
There are so many ways in which people can be fearful following a separation or divorce. Louisa shares her own experience of feeling fearful when she left her job as a solicitor to set up LKW Family Mediation. She explains how she drew inspiration from her clients’ stories of facing their own fears during the separation.
In this video we address what to do when you feel like the arrangements you have made for the school holidays aren’t working. This is a more informal video made by Louisa during one of her de-stressing walks in the beautiful Surrey countryside
