What Participants Say

I like the way the model/approach gets people to think differently about what's going on rather than getting stuck on the causes of the problem.

In mediation with families I have wanted to be able to support a deeper understanding between parents and this approach facilitates that.

This approach supports the way I would like to work – my personal philosophy and gives me a sense of direction as a mediator. In life it also makes me reflect on ideas like 'truth' and use of language. The training has made me reflect on how much I would like to do things differently in my practice.

I wanted to thank you for creating the Narrative Mediation Essentials course with the incomparable Debbie Dunn. I have learned so much from the course and found the format very accessible. Watching Debbie navigate a narrative mediation has given me confidence to implement some of her tried-and-tested approaches in my own practice. I have been thrilled by the results and feel more assured applying narrative techniques, which seem to resonate with my clients.
