Association of Cambridge Mediators

Picture of an unknown Cambridge college. Not really our home!

Picture of piled up hastily abandonned bicycles. Our mediators are busy rushing to class.

Picture of Cambridge bridges. Build bridges, not walls.

Picture of punts (flat bottomed boats used in shallow water around Cambridge). Get from A to B.

"I came to mediation full of trepidation and fear. From the first phone call, [the mediator] put me at ease. I particularly like the way I was kept informed about the process and how the day would be run. This really helped to alleviate my anxiety."

Client

"Good people skills (in particular with the lay party on the other side) … [the] mediator’s skill in dealing with the lay client helped achieve resolution."

City Solicitor

"The mediator had the ability to separate personal values from the issues under consideration to maintain neutrality. She was able to understand power imbalances."
