MEDIATION

Professional, confidential mediation – Online, by phone or face-to-face

Looking for family mediation in the UK? Need help resolving conflict constructively and affordably?

We support parents, children, young people, and wider family members through times of change and disruption—particularly following separation, divorce, civil partnership dissolution, or family restructuring. Our mediation services are available across the UK.

Mediation helps improve communication, reduce conflict, and reach practical, workable agreements for the future. Where appropriate, children’s views, needs, and feelings are taken into account. We support parents to prioritise their children’s wellbeing and reduce stress for everyone involved.

Children may find it hard to express how they feel. Meeting with a mediator can help them explore their thoughts in a safe space. With their consent, their views can be shared with parents to support decision-making.

Mediation isn’t just for separating couples. It’s available to all kinds of families—married or unmarried, living together or apart, younger, or older. Parents, grandparents, step-parents, other significant adults, children and young people can all be involved. Conflict is a normal part of family life. When it becomes difficult to manage, our trained mediators and offer a range of services to help. We are a UK-wide network of professional centres providing family mediation services to help families resolve disputes calmly and practically.

Appointments are available online, by telephone, or face-to-face, making mediation accessible wherever you are across the UK.

Our trained mediators help you move forward — without the stress, delay and cost of court proceedings.

What Is family mediation?

Family mediation is a structured, confidential process where an impartial, trained mediator helps individuals resolve disputes and reach workable agreements.

It is commonly used for:

• Separation and divorce
• Child arrangements
• Parenting plans
• Financial settlements
• Property disputes
• Communication breakdown
• Intergenerational family conflict

Mediation focuses on collaboration rather than confrontation.

‍

Why choose family mediation?

Choosing mediation instead of court can:

• Reduce conflict
• Save time and legal costs
• Improve communication
• Protect children from ongoing disputes
• Encourage cooperative co-parenting
• Provide flexible, tailored agreements

Mediation allows families to stay in control of decisions rather than having outcomes imposed by a judge.

Separation can be emotionally and practically overwhelming. Our mediators help couples work through:

• Property division
• Communication plans

We provide structured sessions focused on practical outcomes that prioritise children’s wellbeing.

‍

Child arrangement mediation

When parents separate, creating clear, child-focused agreements is essential. Mediation can help you agree on:

• Living arrangements
• School holidays and special occasions
• Communication between parents
• Introductions to new partners
• Extended family involvement

Our approach promotes cooperative co-parenting and long-term stability.

‍

Is mediation legally recognised?

In many cases, mediation is encouraged before applying to court for family disputes. Agreements reached in mediation can often be formalised into legally binding arrangements through a solicitor if required.

We can guide you through the process and explain your options clearly.

How family mediation works

1. Initial Enquiry

Contact our team to discuss your situation and book an initial appointment.

2. Individual Assessment

Each party meets privately with the mediator to assess suitability and willingness to proceed.

3. Joint Mediation Sessions

Structured sessions focus on identifying issues and working toward practical agreements.

4. Written Summary

Agreements can be documented for clarity and future reference.

The number of sessions varies depending on complexity, but many families reach resolution within a small number of meetings.
