Mediation Services

If you are considering mediation it probably means you are dealing with difficult personal issues that mean a lot to you, that may affect your future and possibly involves your children. It is important that you are able to feel confident that you are making a good choice to assist you in dealing with them. Here are the details about what mediation involves, and how we can help you.

What is Mediation?

When you and an ex-partner have family issues that you do not agree on, such as parenting decisions, arrangements for your children, financial arrangements or divorce itself, mediation is an option that can help you resolve them.

What mediation can and can’t do

You can be given solutions that others in similar circumstances have used. All of our mediators have assisted hundreds of people in similar situations to you, and can help you explore options that seem relevant to your case.

Why Mediate?

Mediation provides clients with a safe environment to discuss their issues and maintain control of what decisions are reached. In court, a judge or magistrates will make decisions about your life and the lives of your children, which will then be binding. You may disagree with the outcome or feel it is not fair.

What will actually happen?

Contact us to book an appointment or to find out about mediation, by completing a referral form on this site, or contacting us directly over the phone. The admin team will ask you some questions and help you to decide between your initial options.

Child Inclusive Mediation

There has now been a move across the whole family justice system to give children the opportunity to express their wishes and feelings and have these taken into account in deciding on arrangements.
