Carlie joined South West Mediation as a Mediator in 2021. Training as a Family Mediator was a natural step for Carlie, having spent over 10 years working in Restorative Justice, Restorative Practice, Family Group Conferencing and Safeguarding in Children’s Services. Carlie is extremely passionate about facilitating collaborative processes, allowing participants to create meaningful solutions. Carlie is highly skilled at working with high conflict and complex safeguarding cases and is trained in various practice approaches that support the mediation process. Carlie has delivered training to many public and private sector companies in restorative interventions. She has a real commitment to working with children and ensuring their voice and their needs remain firmly at the centre of every process.

Carlie is a fantastic practitioner, she helped us to think about things entirely differently and we actually got somewhere. I am now excited about the future.

I am so grateful for your skills, I didn’t think we would get anywhere, I am really excited about the outcome of the session.

Thank you for helping us to have an honest conversation and think proactively about our next steps. You did it with professionalism and kindness.
