Alongside her civil and commercial work, she brings over a decade of experience in family mediation, supporting individuals at some of the most emotionally difficult points in their lives. This background strongly shapes her mediation style: human, empathetic and grounded, with a deep respect for people’s stories as well as practical outcomes.

Lesa is particularly skilled at helping parties feel heard, understood and able to move forward with confidence. As a trainer with the Academy of Mediators, she is passionate about creating a supportive, encouraging learning environment where delegates can ask questions, learn from real experience, and develop a mediation style that feels authentic and sustainable.
