Now, I know that a number of my clients over the years have needed to navigate a relationship breakdown, often involving houses, children and/or pets. This can be a tricky, emotional (and expensive!) part of the separation.

When tensions rise, communication can break down, and misunderstandings can quickly take over. Mediation provides a calm, structured space where a neutral third party helps both sides feel heard, improves communication, and supports constructive solutions.

I am now aware that some male and female mediators are available at Elgin Counselling Centre.

The mediation is a face-to-face or online service designed to help people resolve disputes without the stress, delay, and expense of court proceedings. Mediation is often significantly more cost-effective than instructing solicitors for ongoing dispute resolution, while still offering a clear, professional process to work through difficult issues.

It is suitable for a range of situations, including separation and divorce, child contact arrangements, and workplace disagreements. Rather than decisions being imposed by a court, mediation gives you more control over outcomes and encourages practical agreements that work for everyone involved.

If you’re facing a difficult conversation, you don’t have to handle it alone. Mediation offers a private and supportive way forward at £100 per hour, helping you move towards resolution with clarity and respect.

Always lovely to receive feedback ☺️
But what is Mid-Life Mood & Mind Mentor?
Well, it is essentially support for your mind and emotions during midlife change, where menopause expertise meets emotional wellbeing.
​(peri)menopause can be confusing, overwhelming, and isolating —
I offer specialised emotional wellbeing support for women navigating perimenopause and menopause — a phase where hormonal shifts, life transitions, and accumulated pressures often collide.
My approach blends counselling skills, psychological insight, and menopause-trained understanding to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and feel more grounded, supported, and empowered.
Within our sessions, I also provide evidence-based information and, where appropriate, safe signposting to additional resources or professional support, helping you access the guidance you may need beyond our work together.
While I am a GP and menopause specialist, this is not a medical service. I work exclusively in a therapeutic, mentoring capacity — offering space, clarity, emotional support, and practical coping strategies.
These sessions last 90mins and cost £100......, if you need this, then email me at sam@whitesidewelbeing.com or WhatsApp me 07813 317371
