Family Mediation and Coaching Testimonials
Testimonials
These are some of the testimonials provided to us by our clients.
Neil was recommended to me by another parent from where my children go to school. He has been amazing, so supportive, throughout the period of raw emotion when splitting with the father of my kids. It was a very rough time and Neil was there for me, he helped me stay calm and we avoided court and legal payments because of his careful and thorough guidance throughout the entire 9 months of vulnerability and pressure that I was under. It was a hugely stressful time and Neil helped elevate all this negativity. Thank you again Neil, you are an Angel.
I have known Neil as a friend for about 12 years and in all of that time, I’ve been impressed by his commitment, his consistency and his ability to think outside of the box. He brings huge professional skills which he has very ably transferred into the realm of family mediation and mentoring. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a man of integrity and discernment, but also as a person supremely placed to sort situations out and always be able to see the long game.
I contacted Clear View Coaching after a referral by a friend. I had been going through the family court system for over eight years, with very little success. Within the first phone call with Neil, I felt so much more confident and reinvigorated to keep pushing on. Neil helped me change my mind set in the way I communicated with my ex-partner and her legal team. I couldn’t believe it, the first communication I received back after I had spoken to Neil, was the first ever positive one. Because of Clear View Coaching I have just gone from strength to strength. Thank you.
Aaron – Finding out about Clear View Coaching and Neil was a game changer in my situation. I had received some very aggressive letters from my ex-wife’s solicitor, which included false allegations and attempts to have my children and home taken from me. Neil helped me put these into context and within a few very professional and calm responses back, they stopped being sent.
Neil’s ability to grasp of an ever-changing picture of what was going on, along with his friendly and informative approach amazed me. His experience also allows him to know what could also be about to happen, allowing me to put some safety nets in place. Neil was with me from the start to the very end. Neil is always available on the phone if needed, but always consistently reassuring and focused. I was given the focus and confidence to self-represent at court, which has resulted in a fair outcome for all, and more importantly has provided two stable homes for our children.
Jim: Upon learning of Neil’s successful assistance to colleagues in navigating divorce matters, I promptly facilitated a connection between Neil and a member of my team who sought guidance due to an impending child custody case and divorce. Within less than 48 hours, this team member exhibited renewed focus and a notably enhanced comprehension of their circumstances. Importantly, they now possessed a dedicated resource in Neil to aid them through what can be an intimidating ordeal for anyone.
Through Neil’s expertise and compassionate approach, our team member remained engaged in their professional responsibilities throughout the entire process. This outcome not only contributed positively to their mental well-being but also significantly benefited the organization by averting prolonged absences.
While our organisation boasts support systems for staff in times of need, Neil’s exceptional service transcends conventional assistance. His adept navigation of the myriad complexities’ individuals encounter underscores a distinct level of support, one that genuinely empowers individuals to navigate challenges while preserving operational efficiency within the organisation.
I am immensely grateful for the exceptional support and guidance provided by Neil during my brother’s mediation and child maintenance matter, and his separation from his ex-partner. Neil’s expertise, the early information he shared, and commitment was evident throughout the entire process. His insightful information and unwavering dedication to my brothers’ case made a significant difference in achieving a fair resolution and Neil went above and beyond to assist in this matter. Neil’s professionalism, empathy, and in-depth knowledge were an invaluable asset. I highly recommend Neil to anyone navigating the complexities of family related matters. His assistance has been truly instrumental in helping my brother through this challenging time, and helped ease the stress that my brother was placed under. Thank you, Neil, for your outstanding assistance and support.
I was recommended to Neil by a friend I had had an expensive bill from a solicitor for minimal advice and no action. Neil gave me the time to explain my family and financial situation, and then gave me suitable short- and long-term information without aggravating the already tense situation. At the heart of Neil’s guidance was mediation which was firmly backed up with real world and legal knowledge. His patience and flexibility are second to none, he was always happy to speak which allowed for the communication to be free flowing. I would recommend him wholeheartedly, he will be on your journey with you from start to finish, giving you sound and logical suggestions and ideas at every stage.
I first came across Clear View Coaching after being recommended by a friend. I had a challenging situation in that I was not seeing my children. Throughout my entire time with Clear View Coaching, they have given me confidence to deal with my own matters, in a professional, business-like and calm way. Even though I have been to family court three times because my ex-partner refused to accept the original court rulings, the foundations that Neil and his team helped me put in place at the very start, has resulted in a successful outcome in which my children have a loving relationship with both parents. I could not have achieved this without them. I self-represented at court because Neil gave me the support and confidence to do so. This ultimately saved me thousands of pounds. I would certainly only ever want Neil and Clear View Coaching in my team.
When I was first put in touch with Neil, I was desperate. I was only seeing my children when it suited my ex-partner. I felt helpless and overwhelmed with the entire process, as well as feeling scared and vulnerable about what the future held.
Through conversations with Neil, I changed how I saw the situation which helped me adapt my communication style with my ex.
I now have a positive co-parenting relationship with my ex-partner and our children are thriving in their two homes.
With Neil’s help I navigated the entire process without the need for a solicitor, which saved me thousands of pounds as well as not adding any additional stress to what was an already difficult time.
I cannot recommend him highly enough – his methods work, helping you to achieve your aim while also assisting you to a better place mentally.
Thank you, Neil, 🙏
I cannot thank Neil and his team enough. When I started on my journey, I was angry, upset and not thinking rationally. Neil has been there throughout, listening to me when I needed it but also challenging some of my thought processes, which helped keep my situation under control and ultimately achieving a fantastic outcome for me and my children, without the need for any solicitor or court involvement.
I cannot put in words what Clear View Coaching have done for me. They gave me the foundations to not only move forward but succeed in obtaining a fair outcome for all involved, whereas in the start I felt alone and totally on the back foot. Clear View Coaching’s clear and concise approach works amazingly. The amount of money Clear View saved me allowed me to keep my family home for the children and stay out of debt. Thank you so much.
I approached Neil after learning of my ex-wife’s intention to relocate our daughter abroad on a permanent basis. I was distraught and was struggling to think rationally. I contacted various solicitors and paid between 250 and 300 pounds for an initial consultation.
Not one of them showed any real volition to take on my case and one even intimated at various points in the conversation that I had little chance of being successful in preventing the relocation going ahead. I left these consultations feeling dejected and resigned to a very bleak future.
I then spoke to Neil, and I was amazed at how quickly he understood my situation, asking pertinent probing questions to gain a better understanding of the situation. We discussed what outcome I was looking for and next steps. He knew that I had concerns about legal costs and had had limited success in progressing matters through solicitors at that point.
Neil helped me to understand the critical importance of communication style to avoid conflict and I quickly started to feel in control of my situation and my confidence to achieve a successful outcome build as each milestone passed.
Neil was always available exactly when I needed him. I stopped wasting time worrying and, on the occasions, when I went to court or met with the family court advisor, felt confident and unintimidated. Neil’s calming and reassuring nature always put me at ease.
With Neil’s help I estimate I saved more than £20K through legal fees.
As a result of my learning from Neil, my ex-wife withdrew the application to move our daughter abroad ahead of the scheduled final hearing.
I couldn’t have dreamt of a better outcome, and I can honestly say that I don’t believe that I would have achieved the same outcome if I hadn’t got in touch with Neil.
I was approached by a close friend who informed me that he was separating with his partner. He was in a desperately sad place and needed help. I didn’t feel I could help him to the level he needed. I knew of Neil from previously hearing about him from a work colleague. My friend contacted Neil and almost instantly I could see a positive change. He now had a light at the end of the tunnel. More importantly for me, it meant that every time we met up, our time and conversations were not consumed with his separation, which was great for his mental well-being.
