About Accord Family Mediation
Founded by Olivia Previl, a seasoned mediator with over three decades of experience in education and facilitation, our practice is rooted in creating respectful and balanced solutions tailored to your family’s unique needs.
Separation can be one of life’s most stressful transitions, marked by uncertainty and heightened emotions. We believe that even during these trying times, there is a way forward that respects everyone involved, prioritises the well-being of your children, and fosters constructive communication.
Mediation offers families a collaborative, confidential, and voluntary process to resolve disputes effectively—saving time, money, and emotional strain compared to traditional legal proceedings.
Your Path Forward
