Charlotte qualified as a solicitor in 2006 and initially specialised in criminal law. Following a relocation to London, she joined the Metropolitan Police, working across a wide range of disciplines and undertaking extensive training in dispute resolution. Her work required her to manage complex and sensitive matters with clarity, balance and professionalism.

In 2016, Charlotte returned to legal practice and focused on family law. She developed a particular interest in child care proceedings and related issues, including guardianship, care and living arrangements. Through her experience, she gained a detailed understanding of the family justice system and witnessed first-hand the emotional and financial strain that adversarial proceedings can place on separating families.

Recognising the value of a more constructive and forward-focused approach, Charlotte retrained as a family mediator. She completed her training in 2023 and is a registered Mediator with the  Family Mediation Council. Charlotte is also a member of the Family Mediation Association and a member of Resolution.

Charlotte is Wells Family Mediation’s Sussex-based mediator. She brings together her legal expertise, extensive dispute resolution training and practical insight to support clients in resolving financial and children matters in a calm, structured and solution-focused environment. She is committed to helping families move forward with dignity, clarity and a strong focus on the wellbeing of their children

I would like to thank you for the time you have spent in achieving in 4 hours, what we never achieved in 4 months. I think it is by far a much better process than solicitors and court.

I honestly feel that we now have a good chance of proceeding in an amicable way that hopefully in time will become a friendship with the children at its core. I do not think we would have achieved this through solicitors, and feel huge gratitude for your patience and gentleness.

It’s so much better to go through this process together in a calm and neutral setting, rather than being defensive at home or seeing a solicitor individually. You’ve been a great adviser on a tricky topic and the meetings were really productive.

Throughout this whole horrible process we have both felt that the system is designed to leave us hating each other and to have had your support in helping us get to this point has meant a great deal, so thank you for your support of us both and for reflecting everything so well.

Thank you for all you have done to make a very sad and painful process somewhat less painful!

Thanks for all your help. We are talking a lot more and generally getting on much better, we even stood next to each other at rugby AND are going to parents’ evening together!

You did more in 4 hours than our lawyers had done in 1 year. For that I am very grateful.
