We are proud members of the End Child Poverty Coalition. We provide financial and practical assistance to the Coalition as they seek to end the injustice of child poverty in the UK.
All our mediators welcome feedback on what has gone well and what can be improved. We commit to doing all we can to put things right, and our Complaints Policy is industry-leading. To date, we have resolved over 95% of issues raised at first or second stage.

I cannot recommend Catrin Mogilner enough. Dealing with family issues is stressful, but she was absolutely amazing. She understood my situation completely from the very start and didn't make me feel like I was just ticking a box. She listened, she 'got it,' and she handled everything with real professionalism and empathy. If you need a mediator who actually listens to fathers and understands the reality of the situation, she is the one to go to. 5 stars."

After nearly eight years of struggling with communication and scheduling issues with my daughter’s father, I was hesitant about trying mediation. However, with Emily’s professional and fair guidance, it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. We can now communicate effectively, and our daughter is so much happier because of it. I’m incredibly grateful for the positive change this mediation process has brought to our lives. Thank you!

Catrin was absolutely brilliant in how she handled my recent mediation session. She was incredibly professional, balanced and well-informed on family law and likely outcomes. Her approach is very child-centric and she has a very good understand of children's needs. I now feel much more confident in my position and would not hesiate to ask Catrin for help again with any future disputes.

I had an initial MIAM meeting with Catrin and was very impressed by her professionalism. She explained everything clearly, listened carefully, and made the process straightforward.

Absolutely brilliant ! Emily went through the process without judgement or opinion and just steered me through the whole thing as easily as possible . My worries were also put to rest as to how to move onto the final proceedings which I’m currently doing now as my certificate arrived within 30 mins ! Very highly recommended but hope I don’t have to use their services again !!!!
