In-person mediation available in London and the Southeast

A clearer, faster and more constructive alternative to going to court.
For families who want to reduce conflict, find agreement and protect what matters most.

How We Help

When a relationship ends, it can feel overwhelming knowing where to start or how to move forward. With an experienced mediator guiding the process in a calm, neutral and respectful way, legal outcome can be obtained by consent after agreements are reached in mediation.

Family mediation gives you a structured, supportive space to resolve decisions around:

Property Matters

Separation logistics

Children & co-parenting

Long-term arrangements

Financial Support Is Available

The Ministry of Justice are currently providing families with a £500 voucher to help with the cost of mediation, where there are children are involved. I can support you with those details.

Mediation Is Quicker Than Court

Mediation is recognised as a quicker, cheaper and less stressful alternative to the court system for separating and divorcing couples​.
You both get to decide your outcome, with my support.

Mediation Is Less Stressful Than Court

I can help you reach agreements for child arrangements which will benefit the whole family. Going to court can further damage your relationship as co-parents moving forward.

Final Agreements Can Be Made Legal

With my help, agreements can be made in a safe and confidential space to suit both parties. All agreements can then go on to be made into legally binding orders through the courts.

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.

Private Client

What is a MIAM
The law says that you must show that you have at least considered mediation before you can take a case to court, unless there are special circumstances involved, like domestic violence.
Do we have to be in the same room?
No. You’ll need to legally end your marriage or civil partnership, but you won’t have to physically go to court for this. I can support you with the documents you will need to submit, and when to do that.
What if I’d rather go to court?
The law says that you must show that you have at least considered mediation before you can take a case to court, unless there are special circumstances involved, like domestic violence.
Can a mediator give me a divorce?
No. You’ll need to legally end your marriage or civil partnership, but you won’t have to physically go to court for this. I can support you with the documents you will need to submit, and when to do that.
Do we have to pay for mediation?

Legal aid is available for mediation. This means that if you’re eligible, it might be free for you. I can show you where to go for eligibility checks.

Is mediation about trying to get us to stay together?
No. Mediators are not counsellors, and will not suggest you stay together.
I help you work out what happens when you split up.
A calmer, clearer path forward:
Whether you’re navigating children arrangements, finances or the logistics of separation, you don’t have to do it alone.

We’re here to support you with structure, clarity and a genuinely impartial space to move forward.
