For professionals
Mediation and training
Somewhere to send a case that has stopped moving, and training for the people who work those cases.
If you are a solicitor, a mediation service, an HR lead or a community organisation, this page is for you. If you are in a dispute yourself, the mediation pages below will be more use.
Mediation
Three kinds of case
All conducted online, which means parties who have moved apart, moved abroad or cannot be in the same building can still sit down together.
Family mediation
Separation and divorce, finances, property, and arrangements for children. Starts with a MIAM for each party, held separately.
MIAM £175 per person
Civil and commercial mediation
Contract and payment disputes, business partnerships, landlord and tenant, neighbour and boundary matters, and inheritance disagreements.
MIAM £175 per person
Community mediation
Neighbours, residents' committees and community associations, in Spain and further afield. Conducted in English or Spanish.
MIAM £175 per person
Most family cases resolve in two to three joint sessions — typically well under £1,000 per person in total, and considerably faster than proceedings. Joint sessions are £250 per person and the Memorandum of Understanding is £150 per person.
If you are referring
What happens when you send someone to me
You send them the link, or their details
Either works. If you send me their details I make contact; if you send them the link they book the MIAM themselves.
Each party is seen separately first
Forty-five to sixty minutes, with a report included. It establishes whether mediation is suitable and whether both parties are able to take part freely.
You hear back
If your client consents, I confirm whether the case is proceeding and on what basis. What is said inside the mediation stays inside it — I will not report on the content.
It closes with a written record
A Memorandum of Understanding setting out what was agreed. It is not a court order, and I do not advise either party on making it binding. That is your part.
Two things worth saying plainly
I am neutral. I do not act for either party, I do not advise either party, and I will not take instructions from a referrer about an outcome.
I do not pay for referrals from professionals, and I do not ask professionals to pay me for them.
CPD accredited
The Psychology of Mediation
Mediation training teaches process, law and skills. It rarely teaches what happens inside the mediator, or the psychology driving the parties. Seven independent modules fill that gap — each one short, practical, built around real mediation scenarios, and carrying its own CPD certificate.
In-house
Delivered to your team
Any module can be run for a mediation service, a family law team, a chambers or an HR function — online or in person, with CPD hours included. The value of doing it in-house is that everybody ends up with the same language for it, rather than one person coming back with notes nobody else can use.
For your records
Who you would be working with
Start with a conversation
Whether it is a case you are not sure is suitable, or training you are not sure your team needs, a short conversation will settle it faster than a brochure.
