Welcome to Family Mediation South East

The mediator was very kind, which made the situation easier.

They talk to you – not at you or above you.

It provided a fair framework where difficult, emotive issues could be brought to the table and discussed without feeling brow-beaten into decisions.

The organisation and staff were all very helpful.

The mediation allowed my ex and I to establish dialogue about our issues and to come to a mutually satisfactory agreement.

The mediator was very understanding and patient and took time to explain everything well.

The mediator helped us to get where we needed to be. Thank you!

The mediator was empathetic and trustworthy. He provided an effective space in which we could discuss and reach an agreement.

I found the mediator very helpful, kind and supportive.

The mediation was kept impartial and all discussions were calm and positive.

We were given the opportunity to raise topics/issues which otherwise would not have been possible.

The mediator helped me understand things from my ex’s point of view and helped us to communicate better for the sake of our son. He helped us talk again, sort out our finances and arrangements for our son. Thank you from my heart.

I found the mediator very helpful, kind and supportive.

Jayne, Thank you so much for your time today - your management of the situation and your insight into our issues was really helpful.

Our mediator was excellent. I felt heartened that due consideration was shown to BOTH parties. All the elements of patience, focus and expedience (important financially) along with clear, concise delivery were very skilful.

The reception over the telephone was extremely sympathetic and kind, elements hugely important for someone who is traumatised and vulnerable. I felt safe, respected and never a hindrance.

Jayne Swanston was very helpful and skilled in our mediation process, helping us both to come to agreements on financial, family, housing, separation and divorce matters. She created a safe environment which reduced my anxiety and made a very stressful and traumatic time into a much easier time. She helped us to swiftly come to agreement without antagonism or high emotion. I felt safe and understood throughout. She understood where the legal standing was, how we each felt and what the priorities were for both of us.

The mediator was very good all the way and very helpful. I was very pleased with her.
