My services

Here's how I can support you and your loved ones. My goal is to provide a friendly and straightforward approach, so you can feel confident in finding the right path for you and your family.

My commitment

Most couples are able to reach agreements through mediation. If some matters remain unresolved, my commitment is to provide a clear and supportive summary of what has been agreed and where differences remain. This helps you move forward with clarity, saving time and cost by avoiding repeated discussions and ensuring any next steps are focused only where they’re truly needed.

Family mediation

I offer expert family mediation services that empower families to resolve conflicts and achieve amicable agreements. As a skilled mediator, I create a neutral space where open communication thrives, allowing all parties to express their concerns and needs confidently.

By focusing on collaboration and understanding, I expertly guide families through challenging situations, ensuring that every voice is heard as we work towards fair resolutions. With my proactive and compassionate approach, we foster healthier relationships and promote enduring solutions for families.

I can also offer child-inclusive mediation, recognising the importance of including children in the resolution process when appropriate. This approach empowers children to have a voice and actively participate in discussions that impact their lives.

By integrating their perspectives and feelings, I facilitate more comprehensive and satisfactory resolutions for families. I'm dedicated to creating a supportive environment that fosters understanding and collaboration among all parties involved.

McKenzie friend

If you're already in the court process then I can still support you, by acting as a McKenzie friend.

A McKenzie Friend is a layperson who provides non-legal practical and moral support to someone representing themselves in court (a litigant in person), originating from the 1970 UK case McKenzie v McKenzie. They help with tasks like taking notes, organising papers, and quietly offering advice, but they cannot act as a lawyer, give formal legal advice, sign documents, or speak for you unless the court grants specific permission.

Costs
All costs are fixed and inclusive of other charges.

You may be eligible for FREE mediation if you are assessed as qualifying for legal aid. By contrast, legal costs for court proceedings typically start at £3,000 per person. Even where legal aid is not available, mediation remains a significantly more affordable alternative to going to court.

I know it’s important to have clarity about costs, which is why I offer fixed fees, with no hidden extras for session notes or follow-up letters — charges that some mediation services add separately.

Anyone wishing to begin court proceedings is now required to obtain a certificate from a mediator confirming attendance at a MIAM. Following a MIAM or mediation, if you require a signed court form (mediator’s certificate) — C100, Form A, or FM1 — I provide this for a flat fee of £35, even if more than one form is required.

Initial information session (MIAM) - £130 per party

Joint/Shuttle mediation (1.5 hours) - £200 per party

Child inclusive mediation (1 hour) - £100

Drafting parenting plan - £200 per party

Drafting financial documents - £250 per party
