Family Mediation Service
We support people (adult siblings, parents, children, in-laws, grandparents) to find a way through all kinds of family conflict situations. This includes inter-generational and extended family situations.
Our mediators ensure that everyone has a voice to achieve greater clarity, generate options and agree how to move forward. Some of the issues we work with most often include:
Mediation can be an effective method of resolving conflicts within families. It is an informal, voluntary process that enables you to find a mutually agreed solution in a safe and confidential setting.
With the help of neutral mediators, you can achieve understanding, peace of mind and a clear way forward. Mediation works in a way which tends to preserve or improve relationships between family members. It is a step-by-step process:
Step 1
A short call with our office team: we'll explain mediation and answer questions or concerns.
Step 2
Private introductory meetings (IM) - 1 hour with each client. We'll hear your perspective and prepare for the next step.
Step 3
Joint meeting (JM) – 2-3 hours. We'll enable listening and discussion, and help you find options that everyone can accept for the future.
We understand how challenging family conflict can be. Calm Mediation will ensure that you have two mediators supporting everyone throughout the process.
To start simply call us on 0300 102 3033.
Please contact us to discuss this. We can help you to make an approach to other family members.
In a nutshell, our charges are per person and in three stages.
Stage 1: £50 admin fee to engage with all the clients and hopefully set up the IMs.
Stage 2: £100 per person for the IMs (couples may be one charge, depending on the nature of their engagement).
Stage 3: £200 per person for the JM (couples may be one charge, depending on the nature of their engagement).
There may be an additional cost e.g. for a neutral venue or travel beyond the M25, agreed in advance.
This kind of mediation often requires more than one meeting. The mediators will help you to agree next steps at the end of each meeting.
We have a panel of experienced mediators. They come from diverse backgrounds and are of all ages. All have been accredited by reputable bodies and go through our own training and induction process to work as Calm mediators. Two mediators will support you throughout what can be an emotional process.
Yes, we can support young people to sort out conflict situations. Please get in touch.
We also have an award-winning Peer Mediation service which works in schools and colleges. Students are trained and supported to provide mediation for their peers. Participating schools report benefits for the whole school community. See our Peer Mediation page for more information.
These situations are often complex and may have developed over a long period of time. We are happy to have a purely exploratory conversation about the options.
