Focus Family Mediation LLP

All mediators are useless apart from one. The rest take the woman's side, and add/ minus alot of vital information on summary. DS is the best mediator by far!!! D and M are fantastic support staff! Approach with caution, use as a last resort.

Very supportive mediation sessions with Carmel, and assistance offered by Diane and Michelle. Child inclusive mediation went really well too and my son said he liked speaking with Carmel. Would highly recommend.

EDIT: I have been contacted by Focus and asked to remove my review as I mentioned a name of one of the mediators! Funny how other reviews are ok to stay on that mention focus staff but these are ok to leave on as they are positive reviews. Original review below and name removed! Worse experience ever! I had a mediation session with my ex partner and one of the male mediators. What a waste of time. Mediation is suppose to be impartial but he slipped up in the meeting that he had been speaking with my ex's solicitor as she was a friend of his but he quickly tried to brush it off when he realised what he had done. How is this impartial? He was all one sided and not impartial what so ever. . DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!!!

Focus family mediation has been the core of my journey in regaining access to my daughter. She is now 5 going on 6, our process began when she was 2. I do not believe I would have seen my child once without the help and mediation from Michelle, Diane & Carmel. Between their support I was able to arrange and record access to my daughter, showing my capability and will. Also enabling me to continue to grow my bond and trust with my daughter, through reliability. The process of a breakup is tough for any family/ individual and never fair on the children, which ultimately need time with both parents. By representing myself I realised mediation is not legal advice or a platform to discredit the opposite parent. It is about building an understanding of both parents roles and positions in regards to the childs best interest. Utilising the profession of the mediation and compromising to ensure the children involved needs are met. If this cannot be achieved through professional mediation you can follow up with applications to court with evidence efforts were made to achieve access. Thankyou again from myself and the family Jacob
