Family mediation helps you move forward without going to court…
When families feel like they are falling apart, we provide a calm and respectful alternative to going to court that is faster, less stressful, and more cost-effective, and where you make the decisions.
Helping you reach an agreement through joint or separate mediation regarding children, finances, and separation
The Benefits of Mediation
Around 77% of cases reach an agreement, most within 2–5 sessions, with outcomes more likely to be followed than court orders. We have helped thousands of clients avoid the time, cost and stress of going to court. Mediation is increasingly the preferred approach for families because it offers:
More Control Over Outcomes
You decide the outcome, not a court.
Faster & Less Stressful
Most families reach decisions far quicker than through solicitor-led negotiations
More affordable & Voucher Option
Mediation is significantly cheaper than going to court, and the £500 voucher may apply
Always Child-focused
Discussions are always grounded in your children’s best interests
Confidential & private
Unlike court hearings, mediation is completely confidential.
Your mediator ensures the space remains safe, balanced & constructive.
What Mediation can help you resolve
Child Arrangements
Family mediation helps parents create clear plans for their children after separation. This can include living arrangements, weekly routines, holidays, schooling decisions and communication between households. The focus is always on the wellbeing of the children, helping parents agree arrangements that provide stability, consistency and a positive co-parenting relationship.
Financial Matters
Mediation provides a structured way to discuss financial matters following separation. Couples can work through property arrangements, savings, pensions, debts and ongoing financial responsibilities in a calm and transparent environment. With the guidance of a mediator, conversations stay focused on solutions and fair outcomes that allow both to move forward with clarity.
separation logistics
Separation often raises many practical questions about day-to-day life. Mediation can help couples organise arrangements such as living situations, short-term financial responsibilities and how communication will work while longer-term decisions are being made. Addressing these details early can reduce uncertainty and help both people feel more prepared for the next stage.
communication
For many couples, mediation also helps rebuild constructive communication during a difficult time. With a neutral mediator guiding the conversation, discussions can take place in a balanced and respectful way. This can reduce conflict, improve understanding and create a more cooperative foundation for future decisions - particularly when children remain part of both parents’ lives.
Your mediation service will apply for the voucher on your behalf, and it is not means-tested – making support accessible regardless of income.
Mediation empowers family members to actively engage in decision-making, enabling you to have a say in shaping agreements that reflect your unique circumstances.
Unlike court-imposed rulings, we work together to reach tailor-made and flexible solutions that address the specific needs and concerns of your family.

Everything is focused on future solutions, not past conflict
