What Is Online Mediation?
Online mediation via Help 2 Mediate is as easy as video calling a friend. You receive the same professional mediation, but instead of attending an office, all parties join from separate locations using a phone, tablet, or computer, meaning you remain in a comfortable environment throughout.
Your mediator manages the discussion, keeps communication productive, and helps everyone work toward practical agreements, just as would happen if sitting in the same room.
Online mediation can be used for:
- Family disputes after separation
- Child arrangements and co-parenting issues
- Financial settlements after divorce or separation

Why Choose Online Mediation?
Many clients now prefer remote mediation services because they are efficient, flexible, and easier to access.
Attend From Anywhere in the UK
You can take part whether you are in different towns, cities, or even countries.
Faster Appointments
Online sessions are often easier to schedule than in-person meetings, helping matters move forward quickly.
Less Stressful
Joining from a familiar private environment can feel more comfortable than attending an office or legal setting.
Separate Participation
Each person joins from their own space, and in situations needing Shuttle Mediation, remains there, which can reduce tension and help difficult conversations stay calmer.
Save Time & Travel Costs
No commuting, parking, childcare travel planning, or time away from work.
Secure & Confidential
Professional online mediation uses secure systems designed to protect privacy.
No Technical Downloads
Help 2 Mediate manage all the technical details so you don’t need to download or have access to any special software, just an internet connection and a device that lets you see and speak to others (most mobile phones and tablets allow this).
Is Online Mediation Effective?
Yes. For many disputes, online mediation is just as effective as face-to-face mediation, and in some situations more effective.
Clients often find that being in separate locations:
- Reduces confrontation
- Improves focus
- Makes attendance easier
- Encourages calmer communication
- Speeds up progress
- Empowers control of the process
Where high conflict exists, online shuttle mediation can be particularly useful as it ensures there is no accidental contact.
Could Your Mediation Be Funded?
Online mediation with Help 2 Mediate is available at no extra cost.
Many parents are surprised to learn that Legal Aid for family mediation may be available depending on financial eligibility. If one parent qualifies, this can sometimes cover costs for both parties’ initial mediation stages.
Alternatively, most parents discussing child arrangements qualify for the Government Family Mediation Voucher support, which is not means tested. We check everything for you before you commit.
Is Online Mediation Suitable for Everyone?
Online mediation is suitable for many people, but not every case. During our initial chat with you, we will consider:
- Safety concerns
- Ability to participate fairly
- Technology access
- Accessibility limitation
- Complexity of the dispute
- Whether mediation is appropriate overall
If online mediation is not suitable, other options can be discussed, such as in-person mediation.
What Do I Need for an Online Mediation Session?
Most clients only need:
- A phone, tablet, or computer
- Internet connection
- Private quiet space
- Email access
- Willingness to engage constructively
Help 2 Mediate clients all have access to our specialist integrated video software, meaning that you can join from your email appointment, reminder, or your client dashboard. There is nothing to download and Help 2 Mediate manages the secure video connection in the background. We can also help you if you are not confident with technology.
