Perth mediation that helps you find a way forward
More than three decades of experience, including 18 years as a mediator in corporate, financial, and family matters, with Child Inclusive Practice available.
Mediation, delivered with care
Perth Mediation and Counselling Services WA provides family, corporate and financial mediation from Como, Perth. Yvette Strawbridge has been an Accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner and Mediator since 2009 and is authorised to issue Section 60I certificates.
Yvette trained in Child Inclusive Practice in 2012. Where it is appropriate, she meets with children from six years of age so their views and choices can inform the decisions their parents make, an approach now reflected in the Family Law Act.
Every enquiry is 100% private and obligation-free, with a same-day response.

The core advantage is that having both a male and female Mediator reduces perceived bias and strengthens each party’s ability to participate effectively.

What clients say
Yvette was professional, understanding and an extremely experienced mediator. She went above and beyond to ensure I understood the process and could make informed decisions in a high conflict situation. After less than positive experiences in the public system, I would highly recommend Yvette for mediation. Well priced, extremely knowledgeable, quality service and neutral party who really hears your concerns.
Yvette provided such compassionate and calm mediation support. She is the best Mediator I have experienced out of my several experiences of family mediation. Her approach is respectful, down to earth, child-focused and helps each party achieve. I highly recommend Yvette for sensitive and quality family mediation.
Yvette has been an incredible support for me through ongoing counselling sessions. She provides a safe and comfortable space for me to talk openly and discuss very personal and difficult situations. She is non-judgemental, kind, caring, listens carefully, is extremely knowledgeable in her field, and always provides excellent advice. I leave every session feeling supported, reassured, and with new skills or techniques to move toward a resolution. I would highly recommend Yvette for counselling.
I found Yvette to be very professional, understanding, empathic and very willing to help resolve any extra issues that may arise.
Yvette was always very professional. She dealt with our split with professionalism, fairness and empathy. Yvette made the process a lot easier than what it was.
I came to Yvette for mediating parenting and property issues. She created a safe space for everyone involved at a difficult time and kept the conversation on track so we could get to an agreement. When mediation was over I felt calm, almost lighter inside, with the arrangements finally clear. I am grateful to have found someone with her experience and concern for us during that stressful time.
I used Yvette’s service for mediation between myself and my ex partner, for the benefit of our two children. I found her very professional, fair, and listening to both sides carefully to work out how our issues could be resolved. The issues were resolved as best they could be, and my two children got to have their say as well, one on one with her. I would recommend her to anyone.
