Welcome to the EB & Co. Mediation Podcast
Hosted by accredited family mediators Emma Bradford and Charlotte Chambers, The EB & Co. Mediation Podcast explores how families can navigate separation and divorce with clarity, respect and care.
In our first episode, Emma and Charlotte introduce themselves and share what brought them to the world of mediation. They unpack what mediation really is, how it differs from counselling or legal advice, and why it’s such a valuable process for families facing change.
They discuss the emotional and practical challenges couples often face at the start of a separation – from the myth of an “amicable” split to the reality of navigating different emotional timelines, co-parenting responsibilities and financial arrangements.
Through honest conversation, they explain how mediation offers a safe, neutral space to work through these issues – keeping decision-making in your hands and helping families move forward with less conflict.
Whether you’re just beginning the process, already co-parenting, or simply interested in how mediation works, this podcast is here to inform, support, and occasionally challenge your thinking.
