Family mediation is what we do, day in, day out.
- All our mediators are professionally accredited and work to the highest professional standards, as set out by the Family Mediation Council and Legal Aid Agency contract.
- As a not-for-profit service serving our local communities and beyond, we aim at all times to be transparent, affordable and trustworthy in what we say and do.

Our Services
Information Meetings (MIAMs)
At a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM), the mediator will listen to you and help you to make an informed choice about the best way forward. The mediator can also give you information and signpost you to any other services that may be able to help.
Property and Finances
Your mediator will assist you both in exploring all your options relating to your finances and property.
Child-Inclusive Mediation
Children sometimes need an opportunity to express their views and wishes about the issues affecting them post-separation. Child consultation is a 'listening meeting' with a specially trained mediator to give children a voice in the mediation process.
Arrangements for Children
We know that for parents, your children’s well being will be your priority. Our mediators are committed to helping you get it right for your children.
Testimonials
At a difficult time it did a lot to improve the relationship between us.
Mediation helped restore a sense of normality. It helped us towards reaching agreements on the big decisions, making sure that the needs of the children were taken into account. it helped to take the heat out of the situation without us tearing each other apart and find a way get through it with the minimum of distress.
It has moved us into a frame of mind to try to be co-operative - the children have been put first and mediation helped with that."
