Welcome
When a relationship breaks down, there are often pressing practical decisions to make: Where will you live? How will you manage financially? What about the children? It can be very difficult to make these decisions when life feels so uncertain, and conversations end in arguments. Family mediation can help.
Susanna Long Family Mediation is a private family mediation service working with separating and divorcing couples online and in person in South West London.
Working with an independent, professional mediator, family mediation empowers you both to have the conversations you need to have to make joint decisions, safely. Mediation reduces conflict, promotes constructive problem-solving, and enables your family to move forwards with clarity and hope.
About family mediation
Family mediation offers a way of communicating your concerns and needs with one another safely and constructively, supported by a professional mediator who won't judge or take sides.
Children
Research shows that it is not parental separation that causes lasting harm to children, but ongoing exposure to unresolved conflict. Family mediation helps you focus on your children's needs to find a more peaceful and workable way forwards.
Finances
In finance mediations, the mediator helps you exchange financial information with one another. This provides a firm foundation from which to explore how you might divide things between you in a way that is fair, workable and meets the needs of any children.
About Susanna
I practised as a lawyer for 20 years before re-training as a family mediator. I wanted to use my legal skills to do something helping and relational, that made use of my experience of divorce and co-parenting, and my certificates in counselling skills.
I am described as "warm, practical and empathetic" in my approach.
As an FMC registered mediator, I follow the FMC's Code of Practice, am fully insured, and offer a complaints process.
