Online Mediation
Mediation doesn’t have to take place in person - online mediation offers a flexible, efficient, and cost-effective alternative.
How Online Mediation Works
Conducted via Microsoft Teams, online mediation allows participants to engage from their own practice, office, or home using standard NHS or personal IT systems.
​
Clare started to provide online mediation during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it has since become a preferred option for many. When Clare conducts mediations remotely, she provides the same structured and confidential process as in-person sessions.
​
As with in-person mediation, participants have access to:
-
Private online rooms for confidential discussions with the mediator
-
A joint meeting room for group discussions and negotiations
-
Document-sharing tools, including digital whiteboards and secure platforms for reviewing and signing agreements electronically before the session ends
​
Why Choose Online Mediation?
✔ Saves time and costs - No travel, accommodation, or venue hire expenses.
✔ Discounted mediation fee - Clare offers reduced rates for online sessions.
✔ More flexible for participants - Mediation can take place from a surgery, office, or home, with short breaks allowing access to clinical systems when needed.
✔ Encourages a relaxed but focused approach - Many participants feel more comfortable engaging from a familiar environment.
✔ Reduces tension in high-conflict cases - Parties do not have to be in the same physical space, which can help facilitate discussions.
