about mindspan

Mindspan is a network of professional mediators, coaches and psychologists.

We work independently, forming collaborative partnerships as opportunities arise.

The Mindspan ethos centres on respect, integrity and skill rather than hype and bluster.  If you are after sensitive, realistic and intelligent mediation, training, coaching or counselling, you have found the right people.

The team members value the evidence-based and powerful strategies from positive psychology and are committed to helping you improve life quality, whether through management of conflict, getting clarity, making change, enhancing communication skills, or psychological counselling.

To make our services accessible, we provide telephone and online services if that's what works best for you.

We are developing a new range of online coaching programs that can serve as high-quality, low-cost ways to enjoy the very significant benefits of coaching when, where and how it suits you. Please leave us your contact details here and we will let you know when our new online services start.

The Mindspan team includes: Alison Manning, professional mediator, trainer and coach. Alison is the founder and core member of Mindspan, working collaboratively with Sue Fick, mediator, coach and professional trainer; Toni Smith, clinical psychologist;  and Claire Wood, registered psychologist, coach and licensee of Australia's Happiness Institute.
