Mediation in Toowoomba, Warwick, Stanthorpe, Tenterfield

Tess established Argyll Mediation in about 2018 in Lismore. In 2022, she relocated just south of Stanthorpe after the Lismore floods. Tess knows the issues facing families in rural areas. She knows the local schools, and how far drive times are between towns. This means she understands what it means for children travelling between two parent’s homes in different towns. She knows who to refer you to for professional supports. She knows the local solicitors. 

Tess was a Registered Nurse for about three decades and has a broad knowledge of health issues, including ADHD, autism, diabetes, asthma and other healthcare issues. She has a master’s degree in Nursing, with experience as a Clinical Nurse Specialist and Clinical Nurse Educator. 

Tess went back to university (again) and gained a law degree, and she has practised family law in regional NSW. This means she understands the process you are going through, and she can advise what to do. For example, even if you have an application before the courts, you can still attempt mediation.

Tess is probably able to mediate even if you have a DVO or AVO – just email the orders and Tess can read them and advise if mediation will be suitable (it usually is).       

Having been through the family law system, mediation, court and Child Support, Tess understands the stress of your situation, and she works to lower the stress as much as possible. 

As the only private mediator West of Toowoomba, Tess provides a bespoke service for you. She flexes around the needs of your family.
