Online mediation services
Online mediation is an effective way to resolve disputes, all from the comfort of your own home. Our online mediation services have successfully helped hundreds of families and individuals navigate through their most challenging times, with expert guidance from our team of experienced online mediators.
Whether you're dealing with the intricacies of divorce settlements, determining child arrangements, resolving financial matters, or dividing property in a divorce, our online mediation provides a practical and empathetic solution.
Similar to offer professions, family mediators have become accustomed to online working and found that it allows clients to arrange appointments more easily, and mediate from the comfort of their own environments. Whilst some may still believe that traditional mediation involves face-to-face contact, we are aware that in many situations this isn't ideal or practicable for clients. That's where our expertise in remote mediation comes into play.
Mediate online, anywhere in the UK
Sometimes, face-to-face mediation is just not possible or even desirable. That’s why we offer an unrivalled online mediation service, cared for by our team of accomplished and experienced mediators.
Our approach to online mediation is tried and tested. Your dedicated online mediator will guide you through the whole process, helping you feel at ease and settle your differences. It’s just one of the reasons that 87% of our clients settle disputes in just a few sessions.

How does online mediation work?
Getting started with online mediation is straightforward. Here’s how the process works:
1. Initial contact
Reach out to us via phone, email, or our contact form. We're here to listen and guide you through the initial steps.
2. Introduction meeting
The first step in the process is for you to attend an initial assessment meeting with one of our online mediators. This meeting
is an opportunity to explore with a mediator whether mediation is likely to be helpful and appropriate for you before embarking
on the process. If you have concerns about managing the technology for an online meeting, we will guide you through it to
ensure you feel comfortable and prepared.
3. Online mediation session
Once all parties have met individually with a mediator and it has been decided that mediation is likely to be helpful and appropriate, we schedule a first online mediation session. Our expert mediators are skilled in facilitating discussions on a range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Divorce settlements and the division of assets
- Arrangements regarding children
- Financial matters, including child support and maintenance
- Any other family or commercial disputes
Online mediation can occur with all participants in the same virtual room or in separate rooms, which is ideal for situations where parties prefer not to see or talk to each other directly. We tailor the session format to meet your specific needs and ensure a comfortable and effective mediation environment.
We'll send the meeting link via email, allowing you to join the session easily. Our mediators ensure that sessions are well-organised, focusing on suitable solutions for all involved.
