Louisa Whitney is an accredited family mediator and child inclusive mediator. She is also a PPC and trainer and is passionate about passing on her skills, knowledge and practical experience. She is also an assessor for the Family Mediation Council. She worked as a family lawyer for 11 years before undertaking mediation training. She describes the transition like this: “as a lawyer I was helping people to put out fires they’d started, but as a mediator I was teaching the separating couple how to avoid starting the fires in the first place”.
In 2024 she was the winner of Resolution’s Community Champion award and in 2021 was shortlisted for the Family Law Awards Family Law Commentator of the Year.
LKW Family Mediation was established in 2013 by Louisa Whitney to provide high quality, professional and empathetic family mediation to separating couples with an emphasis on teaching them the communication skills to manage their separation calmly, constructively, consciously and compassionately. Our aim is to give you the tools to nurture and grow the seeds of YOUR resolution and to help you to minimise the effects of your separation on your children.
