Our fully certified mediator, who also delivers one to one parenting courses, can help both participants find a mutually agreeable solution in a time and cost effective manner.

Our services are listed with Barnardos.

————————————-

In mediation, you will both sit down with myself one to one & subsequently together to help you to reach an agreement. The discussions are confidential.

The issues you might want to agree on will differ from couple to couple, but might include:

• • Hearing each other’s perspective
  • How will you parent your children
  • Financial support
  • Where you will both live and what happens to any property you have

In mediation, I will not give advice nor will I take sides. My role is to help you to facilitate you reaching an agreement. You have self determination during the process – you make the choices.

What is my role as Mediator?

• • See both clients/parties separately then together and look at issues to be discussed and agreed
  • Create a climate in which neither party dominates but in which both parties participate fully in good faith
  • Create and maintain an atmosphere of co-operation and responsibility
  • Help both clients/parties deal with difficult emotional issues that can prevent them from reaching agreement
  • Help both clients/parties reach agreement that they both find acceptable
  •  

How long does it take?

Mediation usually takes between three and six sessions. Each session lasts approximately one hour but times can be extended on any given day.

What outcome can I expect?

Most mediations end with a written document that sets out all the details of the couple’s/parties’ agreement.

This can then be taken to solicitors to be drawn into a deed of separation or other legal contract and/or used as the basis for a Court order. If you want to divorce, you will have to go to Court, but it will be easier if you already have the details worked out.

How do I make an appointment?
