What is Mediation?

A mediator helps you and the other party achieve a settlement and helps you both to make the decisions needed to achieve it, with pre-mediation talks and negotiation on the day, saving you time, money and energy.

If you need help to resolve a dispute, want to avoid the costs of lawyers, reduce the time spent dealing it and the uncertainty of it all, mediation is a great way to go.

Benefits of Mediation

Cost Effective

Mediation can save disputees significant legal and court costs.
85%* of mediations are settled within the day, allowing parties to move on from the dispute and get back to their regular business

Collaborative

Mediation is a collaborative process allowing disputees to work together to find mutually beneficial outcomes.
Settlement agreements are created by you, not decided by someone else.

Confidential

All dispute mediations are conducted in a safe and private setting, so everything remains confidential. There are strict guidelines used in mediations to ensure this.

Cost & Fees

Fees are payable per party, and details sent on request.
I offer a discount for online mediation.

Testimonials

“I had the privilege of working with Alex over the last two years. Alex is professional, compassionate and practical. His advice and support helped me through a difficult time in my life and again in a time of professional and personal transition. There are few people that have his mix of talents and recommend him beyond a doubt for professional mediation and counselling services.”

E Clark

“Alex was invaluable in helping calm long-standing tensions on a local estate. The council’s ASB team, the elected councillors and frequent police involvement had all failed. However, Alex’s clear impartiality and evident human compassion gained the trust of all parties and permanently improved the situation.”

Cllr Chris Kennedy

Hackney Borough Council

“I was truly impressed how skilful and also non-intrusively Alex worked with me on a difficult family matter. You can tell he is super experienced and knows how to apply the craft of mediation in a practical and solution-oriented way. It helped us a lot at home and it was worth the time and investment. Otherwise, I might have just given up.”

Gunther

Senior Consultant, Artist and Father, Creative Wick CIG

“Engaged well with both parties. Friendly and relaxed and put all as ease. Attentive and understanding at all times. I was dreading the meeting but Alex made it fun and interesting.”
