My partner/spouse can be so charming when they need to be so I am concerned that you will not see the ‘real’ them and I will be put under a lot of pressure to agree something not within my interests.
We are very aware that some people naturally feel the need to try and form an alliance with the mediator out of a need to feel supported at a time of great need but we are specifically trained to identify and address this. We have many years of training and experience in facilitation and dispute resolution work which we hope gives us an insight into this kind of behaviour so that we can ensure that the family mediation process is balanced and fair in every respect. We can also reassure you that we will do our best to ensure that each of you receives appropriate information and supportive advice when needed from a team of ‘trusted’ family solicitors and other ‘supporting’ professionals.
