Susanne (Sue) Hurst

Sue has been working as a Family mediator and conflict coach for the past 7 years, and as a Voice of Child specialist for 5 years. Prior to this work she was a Kindergarten teacher and manager. Sue says that she finds working with the children in the divorce and separation stage to be very worthwhile, and that their input often helps parents to make wise decisions.

In her work with children Sue is very much guided by them, and she tries to bring out what they are experiencing and what their hopes are. She uses different approaches for each child, depending on their age, disposition and any needs that they may have.

Sue has three grown up children and one grandchild. She is currently part of a learning community for Te Reo Māori me ona tikanga.
