Family Mediation London: Book a Family Mediator Online

Family Mediation in London

Family mediation in London is a fixed-fee, out-of-court process where a trained, FMC-registered mediator helps separating and divorcing couples and parents agree arrangements for their children and finances — an agreement a solicitor can then make legally binding — without going to court. BookMIAM provides this online across London and Greater London, by secure video call, on fixed fees (MIAM £125 per person).

London’s spread makes in-person mediation genuinely impractical for a lot of separating couples — getting both of you to the same office at the same time, from opposite ends of the capital, is one more logistical headache neither of you needs. Attending online removes that completely: you join from wherever you are, whether that is Zone 1 or Zone 6. Mediation itself is voluntary and confidential, almost always faster and cheaper than court, and it keeps the decisions with you and your ex-partner rather than a judge.

Your Family Mediator in London

Your mediator is Abdul Wahid, an FMA trained and FMC registered family mediator with over 10 years of experience in family and business mediation. He is based at 2 Whitechapel Rd, London E1 1EW, and works with families throughout Greater London.

Registration with the Family Mediation Council matters, and court forms that let you make a family court application in England and Wales are signed by a fully accredited FMC mediator working with our practice.

What Family Mediation in London Covers

• Child arrangements: where the children live, how time is shared, holidays, schooling, and handovers.
• Finances on divorce: the family home, savings, pensions, debts, and ongoing maintenance.
• Property and assets for unmarried couples who are separating.
• Reviewing an arrangement that already exists but has stopped working.

What Family Mediation Costs in London

Our fees are the same wherever you are in London, because every session is held online:

• MIAM: £125 per person. This is the first meeting, held individually.
• Mediation session: £180 per person for a 90-minute joint session.
• Court certificate: £40, if you need one to apply to court.

You may also be eligible for £500 towards the cost of mediation about children through the government scheme. See our £500 family mediation voucher guide to check.

What Happens at a Mediation Appointment in London

There is no commute across the city, no time off work, and no shared waiting room with your ex-partner.

1. You each attend your own MIAM: a private first meeting by video call.
2. If you both want to go ahead, your first joint session is booked.
3. Most families need one to four sessions to reach an agreement.
4. You receive a written summary of what was agreed, which a solicitor can turn into a legally binding order.

If you do not want to be in the same video call as your ex-partner, we can hold the session by shuttle mediation, where the mediator moves between two separate calls.

Do I Need a MIAM First?

Yes. Family mediation always begins with a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting. It is also the meeting the family court requires you to attend before most C100 or Form A applications.

If you are specifically looking for that first appointment rather than full mediation, see our MIAM London page, which covers the London family courts and how the certificate works.

Areas We Cover

Because mediation is held by video call, we work with families in every London borough, from Enfield and Barnet in the north to Croydon and Bromley in the south, and from Hillingdon and Ealing in the west across to Havering and Bexley in the east. Central and inner London boroughs including Camden, Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lambeth, and Westminster are all covered.
