How do I find family mediation services near me?
You can find a family mediation service near you by searching on the Family Mediation Council website, using their 'Find a Mediator' tool:
The Family Mediation Council (FMC) is the independent regulator of family mediation. Whichever mediator you choose, using one registered with the FMC ensures they are suitably trained and regulated.
You can also consider using online family mediation. You can work with a mediation over video-call, rather than travelling to an office.
There are three main reasons people prefer online family mediation:
It is convenient (e.g. eliminating travel time and minimising time off work or away from children)
It is more affordable (online services are typically 10% - 20% cheaper)
If you live a significant distance away from an ex-partner/spouse (online options can overcome disagreements about where to meet for mediation and associated travel costs)
Online family mediation has grown hugely since the improvements in video-call technology, with services such as Zoom improving reliability and ease of use. The technology is also works well on mobile phones.

If you are mediating about arrangements for children, you'll qualify for financial assistance through the current Mediation Voucher Scheme (funded by the Ministry of Justice). This covers the cost of £500 worth of joint mediation sessions and is not income-assessed. Read more on the Mediation Voucher Scheme here.
