Navigating the emotional journey of divorce with expert guidance
Separation and divorce are never just legal processes; they are deeply personal and emotional journeys. This January, as part of Family Mediation Week 2026, the Family Mediation Council is hosting a unique event designed to support the public through these challenging transitions.
On Monday 26 January, from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm, ‘This Morning’ agony aunt Deidre Sanders will join accredited mediator Anna Vollans for a special Q&A session focused on family separation. For decades, Deidre has been a trusted voice for millions of people across the UK, offering compassionate and practical advice on relationship breakdowns. This webinar provides a rare opportunity to hear her insights on the emotional complexities of separation and how mediation can help families find a more positive way forward.
The session will be chaired by Anna Vollans, an FMC Accredited mediator, ensuring a balance of empathetic support and professional expertise. The discussion will aim to demystify the mediation process, showing that it is not just about legal agreements, but about reducing conflict and protecting the well-being of everyone involved, especially children.
At EB & Co. Mediation, we believe that access to high-quality information is the first step toward a successful resolution. Many couples feel overwhelmed by the noise of a separation, and hearing from a seasoned advisor like Deidre Sanders can provide much-needed clarity and reassurance. The Q&A format allows for real-world concerns to be addressed, making the prospect of mediation feel more accessible and less daunting.
This event is free to attend and is specifically designed for members of the public who are currently navigating a separation or considering their next steps. We encourage anyone looking for a constructive alternative to the courtroom to join this session and learn how to manage the emotional and practical strands of a breakup with dignity.
