Aideen recognises how painful the divorce and separation process can be, and has watched the impact of conflict on people's lives. At this vulnerable stage, it can be so easy to allow conflict to escalate, and some have said they found themselves in a contested acrimonious court battle wondering how they ever got there. Aideen works to provide a calm and supportive environment so clients can be empowered to make their own decisions. She helps them reach mutually acceptable outcomes to enable them to recover, move on with their lives and provide better outcomes for their children.
