Family Mediation in Shropshire
If you’re looking for family mediation in Shropshire, our professional and approachable team is here to support you. We understand that separation and divorce can be stressful, particularly when it’s hard to communicate with your ex-partner.

What is Family Mediation?
Family mediation is a constructive way to resolve disagreements without going to court. With the guidance of a qualified mediator, you and your ex-partner can:
- Agree on childcare and parenting arrangements
- Make decisions about money, savings, and debts
- Divide property and assets fairly
Our Shropshire mediators work with families across the county – including Shrewsbury, Telford, Oswestry, Ludlow and Bridgnorth – to help reduce conflict and create workable solutions for the future.

How Our Mediation Service Works
We’ve kept our process simple and supportive:
Step 1 – Free Consultation
Book a free consultation and pre-MIAM call so we can understand your circumstances and check if mediation is suitable.
Step 2 – MIAM Appointment
Attend your MIAM (Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting). This is where our Shropshire team will explore your main issues and prepare for your joint sessions
Step 3 – Joint Mediation Sessions
You and your ex-partner meet with a mediator in joint sessions. Together, you’ll talk through your concerns and work towards a written agreement.
What’s Included in Our Shropshire Mediation Service
When you choose our service, you’ll also receive:
- Written summaries of joint sessions (where helpful)
- A “Mediation Preparation Guide” to help you feel confident
- A dedicated mediator managing your case from start to finish
- Written agreements based on your joint decisions
Same Day MIAM Appointments
If you need a MIAM certificate urgently, we may be able to arrange same-day appointments. In some cases, we can even combine your pre-assessment and MIAM into one session.
Slots fill up quickly, so we recommend booking early to secure your preferred time.

What Our Clients Say
“When it came to the day of mediation, I felt understood, confident and as if the outcome would be positive. Without their help in preparing me for the mediation, I don’t feel the outcome would have been as positive as it was.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need children to use mediation?
No. Mediation can also help with dividing property, sorting out finances, or other issues linked to separation.
Do I need a MIAM certificate before applying to court?
In most cases, yes. A MIAM is required before applying to court for family issues (Form A or C100), unless your case qualifies for an exemption.
