WHY US

Mutual Mediation has independent, professionally trained mediators who are accredited with the Family Mediation Council. Our Mediators are ready to help you and the other party work out an agreement and move forward from the disputes.

Our mediators are registered and regulated by the family mediation council and are members of the College of Mediators.

Mutual Mediation can help you stay in control. No one will make you do anything against your wishes.

Our mediators will help you find a solution that works for you both and explain how you can make an agreement legally binding.

Mutual Mediation uses the “SMART” proposal strategy to provide and help clients move forward with realistic and workable proposals and arrangements.

The “SMART Proposal Strategy” ensures all proposals are 

  • Specific to the issues that disputants have raised 
  • Measurable so both parties know what is to be expected from each other
  • Achievable to ensure any proposals made are within their capability
  • Realistic to ensure the proposal will last for a long time and can be improved in the future
  • Timely to ensure both participants have a set goal of what to expect and when

A judge will expect you to have considered mediation before you apply to a court to hear your case. They can refuse to hear your case until you have done this.

We understand conflicts and disputes can be a very difficult time for disputants, our mediators ensure all parties to mediation feel comfortable and safe at all times and the sessions are tailored to our client’s needs.

We have the facility to provide separate meeting rooms to parties to facilitate shuttle mediation at their request and also hold co-mediation sessions with a second mediator.

We also have the facility of online mediation using video conferencing allowing our clients to access our mediation service from the safety and comfort of their own home

Our mediators are friendly, polite, approachable, and helpful, ensuring client care is always at the heart of their service.

Our offices are conveniently located throughout London and easily accessible via public transport.

We can also arrange translation service in any language to make mediation accessible to non English speakers.

We understand some matters may need to be taken to court where mediation may not be suitable or proceed further than the MIAM. We have a quick turnover time for providing signed documents to assist with making a court application.
