Manchester & Cheshire Mediation

About Manchester & Cheshire Mediation

Manchester and Cheshire Mediation was originally founded by Monica Garvey and Nia Hope. Both are highly experienced family mediators, having mediated for in excess of 27 years. Monica was a CAFCASS Officer / Children’s Guardian and Nia was a Matrimonial Solicitor. Their, and their team’s, experience is wide ranging, from very high profile/net worth cases to entrenched court/Social Services referred disputes, including multiparty mediations and cases involving independent experts. Both are trained in Direct Consultation with Children, enabling them to involve the child in the mediation process, if appropriate.

At Manchester and Cheshire Mediation we specialise in cases where there are issues resulting from the breakdown of a relationship, whether that is husband/wife, cohabitees, same sex relationships, grandparents/parents or siblings. We help clients to work out a range of practical issues, for example; arrangements for children such as where they will reside and who they will have contact with how clients can work together as separated parents sorting out finances such as the house, savings, investments, debts, pensions, maintenance, contents of the house etc negotiating inheritance/probate disputes

Here at Manchester and Cheshire Mediation we try where possible to tailor the specialisms and expertise of the mediator to those of our clients.

Our Team

Over the years the service has grown and it now has a team of experienced mediators:

Monica Garvey
Monica qualified as a social worker in 1984 and a fully accredited mediator in 1996. Monica is a former Cafcass officer and the co-founder and director of Manchester and Cheshire Mediation. Monica specialises in child contact disputes as well as financial mediation.

Howard Bramwell
Howard qualified as a social worker in 1982 and trained as a fully accredited mediator in 2000. Howard previously worked as a Cafcass officer and now divides his time between his role as a mediator and an independent social worker specialising in high-conflict cases. As a very experienced fully accredited mediator Howard specialises in child contact and child-inclusive mediation.

Paul Kidd
Paul has been a fully accredited family mediator since 1998. He is a non-practising Solicitor and before retiring from legal work had over 37 years of experience as a family lawyer. Paul mediates in cases involving both finances and children and as a member of Resolution follows their code of practice by dealing with matters in a non-confrontational, child-centred way.

Rochelle Graham
Rochelle is an accredited family mediator with the Family Mediation Council. She is a qualified teacher who taught in both primary and secondary schools and understands the effect of conflict on children. She has also worked in a financial consultancy and uses her financial experience in mediation. Rochelle has experience in children, property and finance and all issues cases. She also volunteers as a mediator for a local charity.

Children's Views

"They think I'm fine because I'm doing OK at school. However, that is because it is the only place where I feel normal and can forget about what is happening between my parents."

Jordan, Age 15
