Ken is an Early Intervention Specialist in relationships issues. He uses the transformative mediation following the 'Understanding based' model.
"The people best qualified to reach an agreement which meets their needs are the parties involved. The key is to achieving this kind of agreement is to break the cycle of conflict. A cycle that inevitably evolves in a atmosphere of litigation. Parties who are committed to finding a solution out with the courts will find this approach creative and beneficial to their interests."
A unique aspect of Ken's approach is early intervention or pre-emptive mediation..
