Award winning expert in mediation and family law - helping you find practical solutions.
I am Elaine Richardson and I am a specialist in family breakdown, separation and conflict resolution. As well as being a family mediator, I am also an experienced family solicitor and I have been involved in family law for over 30 years. I will be able to share the information that I have gained and my experience with you.
Separating is painful. It is likely that you have found this site because you are involved in separating and you are experiencing loss, confusion and uncertainty. I can help you by understanding the difficult circumstances surrounding each breakdown of a family relationship. I can start conversations and achieve improvements in communication between you so that you can make decisions and get on with your lives.
All separations involve decisions and choices. You can make a wise decision to help your separation move forward smoothly by choosing the right professional to assist you.
JR said “Elaine came highly recommended by my solicitor for mediation. In my MIAM I immediately felt at ease and supported and could understand Elaine’s plain English. She has helped me so much more than I expected for a mediator by providing relevant and important resources and information . And being the voice of reason at a daunting time, with suggested steps on how to move forward. I wish I had known of Elaine a lot sooner as once I had found her she gave me hope in a hopeless place. I am very very grateful for our time together.”
NH said “Thank you kindly for the time you took with me and for your emails you’ve sent across especially the recommendations of the books for both myself and the boys. I valued your professionalism and experience which was evident. Your psychologically informed approach felt extremely validating. I came out of the mediation meeting feeling more positive and hopeful. Thank you so much for your time.”
Your first step is an individual, confidential and tailor-made information and assessment meeting (often known as a MIAM). It is quick to meet up with you wherever you are in the UK or abroad because I am experienced in working online. Please click the contact box to get in touch.
