I found the process to be, in the circumstances, a smooth and efficient way of dealing with the financial and other arrangements during separation when it was impossible to negotiate personally and financially impossible to use the normal legal routes. Sessions were calm and ordered and both mediators helped navigate the process very well.

After my first session with Sara I felt totally at total ease. It’s very overwhelming thinking that you are meeting a stranger to discuss your faults or failings. Sara was understanding, very reassuring and this helped me get everything out and move forward. I would 100% recommend Focus Mediation and in particular Sara Stoner; she has been amazing.
