Participant Feedback following a Restorative Mediation: A Success Story
"I was initially quite a sceptic of a mediation process and was not keen to engage in one. Prior to the mediation I was highly anxious and apprehensive about what lay ahead of me.
Ruth’s restorative mediation process was one of the most emotional, challenging, rewarding and unique experiences I have ever been through. Not only that, but two years later, my relationship with my colleague is one of the strongest and most supportive in my workplace and has enabled me to not only feel valued but to do my job to the best of my ability.
I will be forever grateful for the experience and for the amazing work Ruth does. She changed the way I see relationships and hence, she has changed my life. I would encourage anyone considering (or not considering!) to engage in a mediation with Ruth. "

Feedback from Clients
"Ruth, I just thought I’d send you an update following our sessions with you.
There has been a total turn-around in the relationship and situation. John and I are now working together ‘on the same page’, the tension has dropped and the staff notice the difference. We are moving forward as a united front with common end goals clearly in sight. I’m having regular meetings with the managers, we are communicating a lot more and there’s less fear and anxiety about the future all around. I just wanted to thank you for your intervention, insight and wisdom. We wouldn't be where we are without you”
