Family Law Mediation Service

The Mediation Space | Where expertise and understanding meet

Highly commended finalists in the Family Law Innovation category of the Family Law Awards 2023

an innovative way of finding bespoke solutions to relationship and family breakdown.

We are a team of highly specialised mediators, family lawyers and psychotherapists.

Relationship breakdown hurts. Couples are faced with change on multiple levels. Separation can create challenging issues around finances and arrangements for children. Mediation provides a space to work together to reach a fair and lasting solution.

We understand the importance of working with the dynamic of your particular relationship. The therapeutic understanding in our work is hardwired into everything we do.

Why choose The Mediation Space?

All our mediators are Resolution trained and have decades of Family Law experience.

Our mediators and therapists are psychotherapeutically trained. We apply this training to our work as mediators.

What makes The Mediation Space different from other mediation services is that we recognise that the range of complex emotions evoked by separation can be an obstacle to successful resolution. We work with facts and feelings to help you move forward.

Our way of working provides the emotional space to enable you to work out what solutions might work best for your family and give you the chance of having a constructive future relationship.

“I applaud the launch of The Mediation Space as a truly innovative service which is likely to meet the needs of a significant number of people. I commend the members as a team of experts in their fields who have come together to combine decades of legal and therapeutic experience. I feel confident that the result will be a service which will be distinguished in producing successful outcomes for families in conflict and supporting sustainable change."”

Susan Baldock and Naomi Goode — “The great advantage of mediation is that not only the obvious areas of difference but also the underlying causes of dispute can be addressed. Nowhere is this approach more important than in family disputes. I am delighted to see the creation of The Mediation Space LLP with their emphasis on therapeutic support, relationships and mediation. I am sure they will be a welcome addition to the options open to those who find themselves in the unfortunate position of needing help to resolve their disputes."

What they say about us

I would recommend mediation … to anyone in my situation as the best way of dealing with an extremely difficult situation. The combination of Mediator and Therapist, both with considerable experience of family law, unlocked the previously intractable issues; they found the forms of words and jointly probed the issues to get to a mutually agreed arrangement on equal parenting sharing of our three children and a clear succinct agreement on boundaries between my ex-wife and me.
