What is Family Mediation?

I wanted to work out child arrangements following a relationship breakdown. Will helped me and my ex-partner come to an amicable agreement that enabled our children to have both parents in their lives. I found the whole experience affordable and incredibly worthwhile as I was able to keep this out of courts.

Thanks Will. Your calm and friendly approach was so helpful. Encouraging us to be kind to each other made a big difference and really defused some of the tension.

After a particularly difficult divorce with multiple issues around our child care, Will was extremely empathetic and listened to all the issues, offering useful insights and important information. We wouldn't have reached a solution without his expertise and excellent client care. Thank you.

I really felt listened to by Will. He was very professional, made me feel comfortable in my initial meeting and it was a great relief to talk through a number of issues which I wanted to discuss in mediation.

Will gave a top quality service which felt well managed but not pressured. It felt like he was being fair to both of us even when we had to be in separate rooms. I would definitely recommend him.

Family Mediation Services we provide

Family Mediation Online

Many clients prefer to mediate online. Feedback suggests that they find it less stressful than sitting in a room with their ex-partner, more convenient than having to travel to and from an unknown venue and a generally more comfortable experience. They are also reassured that ‘shuttle mediation’ remains an option should the mediator need to use two virtual rooms. Shuttle mediation is used where one or both participants do not wish to speak directly with the other, but wish to work out a mediation proposal. Finally, working online is usually less expensive for clients as they avoid a potentially large uplift on their fees as a result of the mediator not needing to book a room and venue.
