Mediation is a confidential way for couples to arrive together at fair, long lasting arrangements, thus reducing the pain and trauma associated with separation or divorce. Our services have been developed to support those experiencing family change by assisting with the resolution of your practical problems, addressing the emotional impact of separation, and helping manage your arrangements for children, finances and communication in the context of legal proceedings.
Our Mediators, Psychologists and Family Counsellors offer support not only to those going through the Mediation process, but for anyone involved in family legal proceedings in the South West.These services are in addition to our Children's Resource Worker, (Specialist Child Psychologist), who continues to offer a confidential opportunity for children to express their views when their parents are involved in Mediation.

Report
Really un-personal and rushed 'service'. Seemed to busy to talk through any actual details and rather just talked over explaining that they are only there to perform one specific function and only after I provide proof I qualify for legal aid. Also they seemed to have problem calling me on my mobile and so I had to stand on a landline with others overhearing my legal matters. They did however offer a mediation to the other party, which was refused. The 'help' from this company ended ubruptly there with their letter confirming the mediation offer wasnt accepted. What a country we live in!?!?! why
