About Children 1st Mediation

We are passionate about Family Mediation and strive to provide independent family mediation to families to support them to resolve difficulties for their children.
We believe that by empowering and enabling families to improve their lives by offering an inclusive, affordable resolution service will enable people to take ownership and control over decisions in relation to difficulties or disputes that they are experiencing.

Children 1st Mediation specialises in helping you make plans for the future following separation or divorce – agreeing arrangements for your children, including the time they spend with each of you, where they will live, child maintenance and property and financial settlements. We have extensive knowledge and experience in more complex family disputes and have training in supporting families through Parental Alienation.

We believe if given the right support and opportunity, most people can reach their own solutions to the problems and difficulties that they are facing. Working with you to build understanding and resolve conflict will strengthen and empower you, which will have a positive impact on the future of you and your children.

with Mediators now working across England and Wales both online and face to face- with office locations in Plymouth, Bristol, Exeter, Taunton, Bournemouth, Dorset, Southampton Portsmouth, Gloucester, Manchester, Reading, Central London and South London.

  • Thanks so much to Mabel, the financial mediation process was excellent. I was dreading having to go through this with my soon to be ex husband to sort out our finances, but Mabel guided us through expertly and impartially. I can highly recommend using this service, as not only is it very professional, but they are very flexible around work comittments you have etc and can hold meetings on face time or zoom.

  • I have spent 30000 solicitors fees I only hoped my ex had accepted Mediation earlier. In one meeting after 1 year the mediator Mabel was amazing, fantastic her patience, her wisdom and skills got me contact with my children who are my life. She was honest and truthful and told both of us stop blaming and move forward. All I wanted was same amount of time with most precious thing on this planet our children. Please we need to end conflict and this mediation is the way forward for all problems. Do not waste your money in court.
