mediation
nicholette d'angelo
My approach to mediation has been described as “creating a problem solving atmosphere with caring, compassion and understanding”. Through fairness and neutrality, I work with families to clarify expectations, build cohesiveness and trust when trust may have been broken. My passion lies in assisting families in crisis to resolve the issues surrounding their separation and/or divorce, and how best to help your children and you through this very difficult time. Through my extensive experience and time working as a presenter for the Parenting After Separation sessions, I have learned that no two families are the same and that you as their parents truly know what is best for your children.

ROB ROLLEMAN
MA - Conflict Analysis and Management
Interpersonal differences and disagreements arise everywhere – in families, between couples, among neighbours, in the workplace. Conflict is inescapable. Dealing with conflict is never easy. Period.
Interestingly, I’m drawn to people in conflict. Well, maybe not to conflict per se, but to people. I enjoy supporting good working relationships and effective communication. Contributing to the wellbeing of families and children is gratifying. I have been mediating family, community, and workplace disputes professionally for a few decades. I am a member of Mediate B.C.’s Family and Child Protection Rosters and hold a degree in Conflict Analysis and Management from Royal Roads University in Victoria, B.C. Helping people to move forward - to envision, to problem solve and to reach agreement, is not just a job, it’s a privilege.
