You should know what mediation will cost before you start. My fees are simple: one price for a MIAM, one price per person for each joint session, and no extra charges for paperwork.
My fees are also competitive.
What I charge
| Service | Fee | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Initial consultation (optional) | Free | 15 minutes |
| MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting) | £110 | 1 to 2 hours |
| Joint mediation session First session free if you are eligible for the government voucher (see below) | £125 per person | Up to 2 hours |
Each of you has your own MIAM first.
If mediation is suitable and you both want to go ahead, you then meet together for joint sessions. The cost of the joint session is split between you equally.
How many sessions you need depends on the number of issues and the progress you make.
No extra charges for documents
All paperwork is included in the session fees. Depending on the case, this could include:
- session summaries
- outcome statement
- Parenting Plan
- Open Financial Statement
- Memorandum of Understanding
What isn’t covered
As a mediator, I am not qualified to give you legal or financial advice. As you go through mediation, you may need to consult legal or financial experts between the sessions, especially in property and finance cases.
Paying
Payment is due in advance of each session.
I will send you my banking information and/or a link to pay when you book, along with my Terms & Conditions.
The £500 government voucher
The government’s Family Mediation Voucher Scheme gives eligible families up to £500 towards the cost of joint mediation on issues affecting children.
The voucher doesn’t cover MIAMs, only joint sessions.
The voucher can only be used with an FMC-accredited mediator. While I work towards my own accreditation, I am offering the first joint session free to clients who would qualify for the voucher.
Alternatively, I can co-mediate with my supervisor, Philippa Cullen, so that you can use the voucher. Co-mediated sessions would be charged at Philippa’s rates.
Legal aid
You may be entitled to legal aid if you receive Universal Credit or have a low income. I am not currently able to offer legal aid myself, but I can point you to legal aid providers in the area.
