Start Mediation - Ipswich

Victoria Rayner

Fantastic service and communication, made me feel very comfortable when I was extremely anxious about the situation. Stephen explained everything in detail and took his time listening to me and any questions I had . Would highly recommend his services

Stephen Prince

My meeting was with Stephen, a gentleman that has many years of legal and mediation experience I found his input invaluable and constructive bringing many ideas and different view points to the table. I little training on initial answering the phone….name!?, would give him 10/10 as opposed the very solid 9.5. I would highly recommend.

John Baldry

I have found the experience one where i entered into the session fairly nervous but was soon put at ease. which nothing could be forecast in terms of outcome i am more than satisfied that that this was an enlightening meeting and i have been some excellent advice and felt listened too

Stephen is an excellent mediator. Challenging without being confrontational, empathetic without adding emotion to an already complicated situation. He draws upon his experience as a solicitor which is very useful and this is combined with very good people skills.
As an online service it was easy to set up and he was flexible when I asked at the last minute to start a little later.

Stephen Anderson carried out an online MIAM meeting for me. I found him extremely professional, measured, understanding and insightful. From that session I considered he would be an excellent choice as a Mediator. The whole 'online' process was smooth, cost effective and I was accommodated for at short notice. Highly recommended.

Alfie Hedges

Was very helpful and was well informed and made clear on everything within the process. Would definitely recommend

Rai Iwa

The mediator that we chose to use was extremely thorough and highly helpful, even though my wife withdrew from the process I cannot recommend Start Mediation high enough.

I would also say they are extremely understanding of my mental health situation and made all the necessary adjustments for me to feel safe.

Stephen was an excellent mediator.

If you need to use a mediation service you are feeling anxious, stressed and feel you have no control over what will be. I used this service and from my personal experience I highly recommend Start Mediation. Their website was very clear and informed me what the process involved and outlined their very reasonable fees. I completed the online Application Form - there was an option to call but I felt the online option suited me best. I felt it necessary to get my points/circumstances down clearly and concisely.
- I received immediate receipt of my Application advising that I would receive a phone call the next day
- Elizabet called me early morning. She was very professional and supportive and I answered some more background information for her. She sent me an email so I could pay the cost in advance of the appointment, 2 days later. I was expecting to wait considerably longer.
- My mediator immediately put me at ease. He was a gentleman and engaged with me in a very supportive manner. He attended me for an hour on FaceTime. He promised to send me by email a Certificate which arrived the next day. This too was included in the fee.

Thank you Elizabet for making this process less daunting. ?
Stephen, you showed me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and for that I thank you.
I wish you both all the best, Ann

If you are still reading, you deserve this kind of service. I wish you well on your journey. Keep smiling! ?
