Testimonials

From clients:

It made discussions easier given they were impossible with my ex direct.  I was grateful for the safe space.

There could not have been a lovlier mediator to deal with.

My son was able to give his voice freely and found speaking to you a positive experience. It helped me to know that I was making the right decisions in relation to him.

The online sessions actually worked brilliantly as I was very scared of seeing my ex and worried I wouldn’t say what I wanted to but it helped create more formality and a bit of distance that was helpful.

Adrienne put the kids at the heart of everything, she started the whole process thinking about what we wanted for them and how we’d like them to think of us and how we handled this time and she kept the discussion firmly focused around them.

You were this incredible mix of someone who understood everything about the process and could manage it so well, and who, at the same time, had wonderful compassion and understanding for us both. 

I was very impressed and have already recommended you to others in a similar position

I found you professional, friendly, clear and unbiased.

Thank you so much for your support through this difficult time.

Thank you for helping us navigate the process so that we have clarity and an agreed approach to the final part of it all.  Really appreciate how you supported us.

It was wonderful to hear our children's thoughts.

I felt you guided us through it and enabled us to consider and chat things through with focus on what really mattered.  The process felt professional and caring, so thank you.

Thanks Adrienne.  You've been fab.

Mediation allowed us to have the best conversation we'd had in the last 6 years.  Thank you for providing that safe space.

The service you provided was incredibly beneficial.

Thank you for making it such a simple, straighforward and painless process.

Your mediation service was what we needed. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we negotiated our way through all the aspects.

You have certainly eased the process of divorce for both of us. I really do appreciate your help in what has been a very tough period.

I thought you were very professional, handled conflict particularly well and diffused tense conversations in a calm manner which was particularly helpful.

I felt that the service you offered was just the right balance beween professional, supportive and understanding.

I would happily recommend Adrienne as she is very approachable, listens well and the signposting in the initial consultation was invaluable. Thank you very much.

Online mediation made the whole process so much easier for us.

Just a very big thank you. You have a great mix of professional composure, keeping it business-like, but you also feel like a very safe pair of hands which understand the sensitive and, I guess sometimes illogical emotions that your clients may feel.

I am so grateful that at the end of this divorce process, I feel that I have an amicable situation with the father of my children - a friend I’ve had for a lifetime. Thank you. 

I can't fully express really just how helpful,  reassuring and supportive I found working with you to be. You helped me to find a way through such difficult discussions and decisions at such a confusing and vulnerable time. Thank you so very much.

The mediations sessions that my husband and I received helped us enormously to discuss in an amicable way our finances going forward in our divorce and therefore reaching a settlement amicably. The sessions we received via zoom worked extremely well especially as my husband was then living abroad enabling us to carry on with the process in a manner which didn't instigate relationship tensions which both parties felt developed during negotiations with our respective solicitors.

Adrienne remained professional and sensitive to the upset and trauma that divorce can cause to either party. I felt that her mediation was clear, time efficient and with the ability to diffuse situations which at times became heated in a gentle but controlled manner.

I would most certainly have no hesitation in recommending Adrienne to anyone who unfortunately finds themselves going through a divorce. I would like to add that mediation not only saved my husband and I most certainly large solicitor fees but more than this it has enabled us to separate in an amicable way which at one time felt impossible. After 11 years of marriage this has been a gift in order to remember the good that we had together and not to be bitter because of the nature of the divorce process.

I cannot think of any way to improve your service. It was especially tricky through lockdown and the fact that we were able to keep meeting in a safe, supportive and productive way was amazing.

Mediation with you exceeded my expectations. Having had several sessions with a different mediation service, I was apprehensive and actually pretty fearful of how the process would leave me feeling. You always made me feel reassured and I felt that our family was in good hands. Your calm and sensitive approach, along with your considerable expertise was invaluable and I so appreciated your honesty and objectivity. I always felt listened to and that the whole experience was impartial and balanced, with the welfare of the girls at the centre of everything. I would have been happy and confident for you to meet with the girls had we reached that point, knowing that you would be sensitive to them and their needs too.   

Thank you so much for all your help and advice. I have found the experience invaluable and still often refer back to some of the things we talked about to guide my decisions and actions.

You were very helpful and approachable and fair. You kept us on track when conversations went off on a tangent & allowed us to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

Firstly, please can I thank you for all your efforts with our situation. Personally I feel things have improved for the girls 100%.

I really do feel that without your help we would still be fighting over everything and we would definitely be going through the courts process, which as you know would not have helped our situation and certainly not the children.
I must point out that the girls still talk about you, the fact that they know you are there if they need some help and what you have done to improve things by giving them a voice.
Thank you Adrienne.

I cannot express how you have improved our situation for all four of us (parents and children).

Mediation far exceeded my expectations, from the range of topics covered, to the professionalism to handling a sensitive area.

Many thanks for your assistance which I found to be very professional as well as impartial and supportive to both parties. 

I found Adrienne to be very proactive , unbiased  and knowledgeable with obvious experience in family law and mediation . I would highly recommend Devon and Exeter mediation Practice. 

I believe that you were very professional and helped to keep us calm during the sessions. It opened up a previously difficult communication barrier between us. You knew when to jump in and keep the discussions going as well as picking the correct agenda for us both... Thank you for helping us get there :)

 

Thank you for your hardwork and mediation in helping us get to this point.

It definitely surpassed my expectation. I did not dare to wish we could move forward so quickly.

I would highly recommend Adrienne Cox for any couple who is going through a divorce ( and especially where a young child is involved as was in our situation ). Adrienne is very professional, highly skilled and knowledgeable. It has been a long road with many ups and downs between myself and my husband but Adrienne has always remained very professional, neutral and very patient. We got there in the end, thanks to Adrienne,with an amicable, healthy relationship between ourselves which is the best outcome possible for our Son and a clearer future for us all.

A great achievement to have come to an agreement.

I was very satisfied with the service that you offered.  You clearly explained your process in the first individual meeting and you were very balanced in handling the joint meetng. 

I would definitley recommend your mediation service.

We were both anxious about the initial appointment but Adrienne Cox was very professional and we were both impressed and pleased that we were able to resolve issues which could have been potentially problematic.

I admire the skills you have in keeping neutral but not being afraid to impart the benefit of your experience to both parents.

I feel like you were truly neutral and helpful to us both.

You were extremely professional and concise. Our discussion as a result was productive and well ordered. Thank you.

Many thanks for the time you spent with our daughter.  She enjoyed being able to express herself, and that issues that she shared were answered. 

You made it as simple as it could be with patience and forbearance.

Thank you for your patience in leading us through this.

I was very satisfied with the mediation service, which most certainly helped during a difficult time. Through mediation we avoided further litigation in Court, which was a highly traumatic and costly experience. I fel tthat with the aid of mediation we could reach an open and balanced dialogue which we could never even achieve at home.
