TARA Mediation was founded by Leanne, Lisa and Lucinda – three women with distinct professional backgrounds who share a common belief: that people can resolve even the most challenging conflicts when given the right space, support, and guidance. With this in mind, we trust every client’s ability to resolve disputes in a way that is meaningful and lasting.

Our approach to Mediation is rooted in the notion that people are often stuck, caught in cycles of misunderstanding, heightened emotion, or entrenched positions. Our role is not as decision-makers: we create calm, thoughtful spaces where clients can safely explore difficult issues, identify and express how they feel, talk about what matters most to them, and engage in constructive dialogue.

The name TARA reflects the essence of our work and approach. In Tibetan Buddhism, TARA is known as “she who ferries across” – a guide who helps others cross the ocean of challenge to reach a place of clarity and liberation.

This symbolism resonates deeply with how we see our role as mediators. When clients come to us, they are navigating the turbulence of conflict. Our purpose is to support people to move across, from impasse to understanding, from frustration to clarity, and from conflict to constructive resolution. In so doing, we aim to support not just agreement, but genuine transformation, a shift in perspective, achieved through transparent communication.

Because resolution is often not just about ending conflict; it’s about reparation, restoring relationships, and creating lasting change.
