Our Family Mediators are able to deliver online Family Mediation sessions via Zoom and Whatsapp so no there is no need to travel. We are therefore also able to offer Family Mediation across England and Wales to private clients.

For cases that don’t progress through the full Family Mediation process, we are able to issue MIAM certificates such as FM1, C100 and Form A.

Our specialist Property & Finance Family Mediators come from a Legal Background. We can assist with common property and finance matters such as future arrangements for the family home, assets and debts, pensions, child maintenance, inheritances and motor vehicles.

Some of our Family Mediators are specialists in Child Arrangements and Child Contact. We understand the additional challenges of co-parenting after separation or divorce and have delivered thousands of sessions since our formation in 2014. Our Family Mediators can assist with issues around living arrangements, parenting plans, the introduction of new partners or arrangements about specific events such as birthdays, Christmas or holidays.

We also have highly experienced Family Mediators professionally qualified in Child Inclusive Mediation, providing an opportunity for children to discuss their wishes and feelings. With the consent of both parents, the specialist Family Mediator would meet the child or children on their own and provide feedback to the parents at a separate session. Our Child Inclusive Mediation space is based with a school setting to provide a safe, welcoming space in which a child feels comfortable and more able to share their thoughts and wishes.

We are frequently contacted by Grandparents experiencing Grandparent Alienation who say X ‘won’t let me see my grandchildren.’ Family Mediation for Grandparents offers an informal and flexible way of helping to maintain contact between Grandparents and Grandchildren.
