What I Do

Resolve Separation Sensibly with Mediation

If your relationship has broken down and finances need to be sorted, then you have a choice. You can fight and argue until you are both worn out (and poorer) — or you can choose a sensible and constructive alternative. Mediation is one.

Once the decision to separate or divorce has been made, couples are offered different ways to resolve matters. If you want to move forward constructively, then mediation should be your first consideration.

  • Sole mediation concept with circles.

    Sole Mediation

    Sole Mediation brings you and your ex-partner together with a neutral mediator for open, real-time discussions. It’s efficient, transparent, and professionally managed to encourage respectful communication and positive, constructive outcomes.

  • Shuttle mediation concept with circles.

    Shuttle Mediation

    Shuttle Mediation allows couples to be in separate rooms, with the mediator relaying information between them. It’s suitable where safety or power imbalances exist, though slower and costlier, yet still effective in reaching mutually agreed outcomes.

  • Hybrid mediation concept with circles.

    Hybrid Mediation

    Hybrid Mediation involves your lawyers in the process, usually following a shuttle format. With legal advice available throughout, discussions progress faster and more effectively, often saving time and costs in achieving a settlement.
