Toula was recommended to myself and the father of my child for mediation by the court.
With her guidance we achieved the most effective communication we have had access
to in over 6 years. I found her mediation to be unbiased and informative. She showed
the utmost care and diligence for the best outcome for our child while being incredibly
diplomatic, helping to navigate complicated and aggressive communication, providing a
safe and workable environment.

I recently participated in mediation sessions with Toula to address work conflict management and negative thoughts. Working in a high-pressure remote environment for several years, I faced significant stresses and challenges, including gaslighting, isolation, and maintaining work-life balance. Toula was warm, professional, and made me feel comfortable opening up about my concerns. The experience was incredibly helpful and insightful.

Through her expert guidance, I was able to overcome overwhelming emotions and was equipped with essential tools to cope better in the future. Her check-ins after my retrenchment were instrumental in helping me regain a positive and optimistic mindset as I transitioned to finding new employment. I highly recommend Toula’s mediation services to anyone struggling with similar issues, as her expertise and support have made a profound difference in my life.

I never thought I would find myself in the middle of a divorce, let alone one that needed mediation. But life throws us curveballs, and I am incredibly grateful that Toula was there to help us navigate this challenging time.

From the very first meeting, it was clear that Toula was not just a professional but also a deeply empathetic and understanding individual. She took the time to listen to both of our perspectives and concerns without any bias, creating an environment where we both felt heard and respected.

Toula’s ability to identify the core issues quickly and accurately was remarkable. She didn’t just address the surface problems but helped us understand the underlying emotions and motivations driving our conflict. This insight was invaluable in helping us reach a fair and harmonious solution.

Her compassionate approach made a world of difference. Instead of feeling like we were in a battle, Toula helped us see that we were working towards a common goal – the well-being of our children and a fair outcome. She provided us with the tools and guidance to communicate effectively and make decisions that were in the best interests of our family.

What could have been a highly contentious and stressful process was made so much more manageable thanks to Toula’s expertise and genuine care. I am grateful for her assistance and highly recommend her to anyone in need of mediation services. Her skills and compassionate approach can truly transform even the most difficult situations.

Thank you, Toula, for helping us find a path forward.
