Award-Winning Mediation for over 40 years - Legal Aid Provider of the Year
Here to Help You Today.

"I would especially like to thank Jane (Mediator) for all her help in making us both realise that our personal feelings towards each other and personal needs for ourselves should not affect our sons wellbeing, something we had both lost sight of. Our son has gone from a very insecure and anxious boy at the start of the process to the happy confident boy he used to be before we parted, something I'm sure without Jane's help we would still be struggling with."
