The room, located at the offices in Upper Borough Walls, comprises welcoming soft furnishings and homely décor.
Drinks and snacks are available to the room’s visitors, and colourful emotion cards are on hand to help children identify and effectively communicate their thoughts and feelings surrounding their parents’ separation.
Rebecca Eels, Partner in the Family and Mediation Team at Stone King, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer this comfortable space for what can sometimes be a very daunting experience for children.
“We hope it will encourage separating families to seek out mediation to help them come to collaborative and mutually beneficial agreements, confident in the knowledge that their child’s point of view has been taken into account.”
Both Rebecca and her colleague Caroline Fell are accredited family mediators who are also trained in child-inclusive mediation.
Stone King operates nationally with offices in Bath, Birmingham, Cambridge, Leeds, London and Manchester.
