How Online Mediation Works?
Online mediation follows the same trusted process outlined on the Our Approach page, simply delivered through secure video conferencing.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We begin with a confidential discussion to assess suitability and answer your questions. For family cases, this includes a MIAM, which you can learn more about on our What is a MIAM page.
Step 2: Individual Pre-Mediation Meetings
Each party attends a private session to discuss concerns, expectations, and desired outcomes.
Step 3: Joint Online Mediation Sessions
Using secure breakout rooms where necessary, we guide structured conversations to:
Improve communication
Clarify misunderstandings
Explore realistic options
Work towards practical agreements
Shuttle mediation is available online if direct discussion feels too difficult.
Step 4: Documenting Agreements
If agreement is reached, we prepare:
Memorandum of Understanding
Open Financial Statement, if applicable
Agreements can later be formalised into a Consent Order with legal support.
For further guidance on court alternatives, see our article on The Benefits of Family Mediation and our detailed comparison in Guide to Mediation vs Court Costs.
