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.

Testimonials

"We have been able to come out of our 20 year marriage on good terms, able to co-parent well and we are both very happy with the outcomes and settlements we achieved in mediation - I believe this is something we would not have been able to achieve by ourselves or in a less compassionate environment."

"Susanna made me aware of what I needed to do to reach an agreement in mediation and was kind, compassionate, fair and balanced making sure we both came out of the mediation process well."

“Extremely positive experience. Very credible and a skilled communicator. I wish we had encountered her before it got to this stage! … Susanna was great and extremely helpful in somewhat challenging circumstances.”
