about Family Mediation

Pam and Katy are qualified family mediators with a shared passion for supporting families through separation. Katy offers extensive professional experience working with families, and Pam brings valuable personal insight from her own separation journey, helping ensure families feel supported now and equipped with a strong foundation for a positive future. 

If you have decided to divorce or separate, mediation provides a practical way to move forward. It helps families reach agreements related to children, property and finances in a safe, structured environment.

Family mediation is an alternative to the courts (non-court dispute resolution) and can resolve family issues quickly. 

The Family Mediation Hub also provides support for parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles who may be struggling to negotiate complex issues within their family.

Our mediation sessions last 90 minutes and each session is co-mediated by both Katy and Pam. On average, we hope to help you reach an agreement in three to five sessions, although this varies slightly, depending on the complexity of your situation. 

We know everyone’s circumstances are different, so we offer a range of mediation types. 

• In person mediation – this is where we meet in person and mediate around a table or between different rooms
• Online – we use Zoom for our online clients 
• Shuttle mediation – this is an alternative option for those who don’t want to be in the same room or on the same screen  
• We always co-mediate, so Katy and Pam will run your sessions together 

• Mediation is voluntary - because of this, most clients attend mediation with a mindset that’s open to reaching a resolution  
• Mediation is confidential - agreements reached in mediation can’t be used by clients or solicitors in legal proceedings 
• Mediators are impartial and don’t take sides
• The outcome is yours to decide – a mediator’s role is to support you to reach an agreement. We’ll facilitate and support, but we won’t make decisions for you
