Why Principal Mediation?
Because who helps you through mediation matters.
Choosing a mediator is a personal decision. You are trusting someone to help you have
difficult conversations about some of the most important parts of your life .
We know you never imagined you’d be in this situation. No one does. But when the unexpected becomes reality, we’re here to help you avoid the fees, time and lack of sleep that comes with it.
At Principal Mediation we offer a personal service, built around listening carefully, understanding your circumstances and helping you find a practical way forward.
We are impartial, we don't take sides or make decisions for you. Our role is to help you both understand the issues and make your own informed choices, even when conversations are difficult, mediation can help you to communicate more effectively, and reduce unnecessary conflict.
A different approach to separation
Mediation can give you the opportunity to remain in control of the decisions affecting your family, rather than leaving those decisions to a court, and a judge.
Mediation isn't always easy, but it can be a better way forward.
Co- Mediation
On occasion, we will co-mediate, where the sessions will be held with two mediators.
Mediators all have different skill sets, and depending on the complexity of the issues needing to be explored, it may be beneficial to have two mediators during the process.
Our mediators are skilled in resolving conflicts in the field of family mediation. With lived experience of the many intricate elements that combine to make good mediation great, our team works with empathy, objectivity and harm-reduction principles at its core.
Mediations are carried out under a strict Code of Practice, and nothing said during the process can be used as evidence at a subsequent court hearing. Our mediators will remain unbiased before, during, and after the mediation process, and we are not allowed to influence its outcome.
