Priceless Experience

Sushma was so kind, compassionate, honest with clarity. She spoke to me from a personal perspective and I immediately felt at ease. We covered a lot of ground in rthe time we had and I was very reassured about my situation and was able to move forward with knowledge and ability to separate emotions, fear, panic, shock with practical thinking in order to make the right decision for me. Sushma although a business woman, is extremely passionate about helping people and helps you come to a solution that is right for you. She will not take a case on if shs doesnt feel its right, which proves she really does have a passion for her work and displayed a strong duty of care which I really appreciated. Thank you Sushma or giving me food for thought so I can make a fully informed, knowledable decision on my way forward. Carol xx

Thank you so much, Carol, for your kind and thoughtful review. I'm so pleased that you felt at ease and that our conversation helped you find greater clarity and confidence in navigating such a challenging time.

My aim is always to provide a supportive, compassionate space where clients can explore their options, separate the emotional overwhelm from the practical decisions, and move forward in a way that feels right for them.

I'm grateful for your trust and for taking the time to share your experience.

I wish you all the very best as you move forward.

Practical, Compassionate and Solution-Focused

I have been working with Sushma for the past two years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Sushma describes herself as a holistic divorce life coach and family mediator, and while she has a strong understanding of the legal landscape through her previous work as a family lawyer, she is very clear about the role she plays. In my experience, her greatest strength is not legal advice but her unwavering support, presence, and ability to help people navigate what can be one of the most difficult periods of their lives.

Throughout my journey, Sushma has always been available, attentive, and genuinely invested. She listens carefully, takes notes, remembers details, and provides a safe space to discuss fears, frustrations, and challenges. At times when I felt overwhelmed, discouraged, or intimidated by the road ahead, she helped me stay focused, practical, and solution-oriented.

What I value most is her ability to see beyond the immediate obstacles and negative thoughts that can easily take over during family disputes. Drawing on her coaching skills, optimism, and spiritual perspective, she gently helped me separate emotion from action and encouraged me to keep moving forward when it would have been easier to give up.

She is also flexible in her approach, offering more support when needed and stepping back when appropriate. She understands that every situation is different and tailors her input accordingly.

Sushma is not a magician, and she would be the first to say that the responsibility for taking action remains with the client. However, having her in my corner has made an enormous difference. Her guidance, encouragement, and steady support have helped me through some very challenging times.

If you are facing separation, divorce, family court proceedings, or any difficult family situation, I wholeheartedly recommend Sushma. She brings compassion, wisdom, practicality, and genuine care to her work, and I am extremely grateful for her support.

Highly recommended

I cannot recommend Sushma highly enough. From the outset she was calm, understanding and genuinely supportive, especially given the urgency of my situation. She took the time to listen carefully and made sure she fully understood the complexities of my case.

Sushma was clear and honest throughout. After reviewing the circumstances and the allegations involved, she appropriately advised that mediation was not suitable and promptly issued the MIAM certificate I needed. I really appreciated her professionalism and the way she reassuring handled everything with sensitivity and fairness.

I attended a meeting with Sushma recently and I was more than impressed with the service received. Sushma is an exceptionally good mediator, someone that really leans in to any matter and in a very short period of time, just an hour, delivers value which can be realised literally forever. I highly recommend this service.

Sushma is the go-to mediator

Sushma is the go-to mediator!
As a family solicitor, Sushma is the person I refer the majority of my mediation work to in the first instance. She has a way with client's like no other and her skills as a mediator are unmatched. She is very responsive and always goes the extra mile.

Kind,Helpful, Positive and Compassionate

mediation was suggested to me by my solicitor as a way of approaching my divorce in a kind mutually respectful way which was very much what i wanted. Sushma was incredibly kind, very understanding of my situation and extremely helpful in a knowledgeable way which gave me the confidence i needed to speak up for myself. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone in a similar situation to me.

Helping us Achieve our Family Goals

When I was first introduced to the idea of mediation I was a little sceptical to be honest. However, I was instantly put at ease by Sushma who was professional, empathetic and supportive via the whole process. There is no doubt in my mind that her approach helped my wife and myself come to a compromise that we were both happy with. Would definitely recommend Sushma who helped us achieve our aim of still being a family despite a difficult separation.

My experience with Sushma was brief but extremely effective, so I would highly recommend. From a free 15minute Discovery call explaining the process of mediation efficiently and kindly I was led through to application for a MIAM. This was booked and partner invited. However he declined preferring to negotiate directly. Result! MIAM cancelled and cost partially refunded. Sushma was extremely supportive and kind throughout.

Excelent experience

Sushma was fantastic and very informative. She made you feel comfortable and safe. She explained the process thoroughly and what was involved. She has provided resources to help with the process. My circumstances require a court order at this time, but would definitely recommend Sushma for her expertise.

EXCELLENT!

It was nothing less than a pleasure speaking with Sushma. She was sympathetic, fair and very informative. She was very easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. She talked me through what to expect during mediation and was very detailed in her explanation. It was very evident that she is VERY experienced in her area of work and family law. I would highly recommend seeking advice / mediation with Sushma and her team.

Experienced and compassionate mediator

Sushma is a very knowledgeable and compassionate mediator. She emphasised the importance of prioritising our child's wellbeing and showed empathy to both me and my ex spouse. She explained the legal process of divorce and mediation clearly and helped us to navigate through this process. She also provided us with a lot of helpful esources, including her book, "Holistic Divorce," which I would highly recommend to anyone who is going through separation or divorce, to those supporting them through this challenging time and to any legal or mental health professionals.

Sushma is very efficient in her work. She responded promptly to our emails and has helped my ex spouse and I to reach agreement amicably regarding childcare and financial matters within just two mediation sessions.

Kind, fair and knowledgable

A knowledgable, kind and fair approach seeking to encourage reasonable but challenging conversations. Experience of the law added to 'standard' skills in facilitating discussion.
