About us

MinusOne Mediation provides family mediation for separating and divorcing couples seeking a constructive, respectful and structured way to resolve matters.

Our approach is neutral, balanced and clear. Mediation does not involve taking sides or directing outcomes. Instead, it provides a calm, structured environment where both parties can be heard, issues explored carefully and practical options considered.

We support clients across all areas of family mediation, including arrangements for children and financial matters following separation. The focus remains on impartiality, guiding discussions clearly and supporting constructive progress.

We also work collaboratively with solicitors, financial advisers and other professionals as part of a joined-up approach to family resolution.

The process takes place with a clear awareness of the family law context in which decisions are made. Where helpful, general legal information can be provided to support understanding and discussion. Responsibility for decisions always remains with the clients, and independent legal advice is encouraged alongside mediation where appropriate.

The Inspiration behind minus one club, Kristyna Hawkett

MinusOne Mediation was founded by Kristyna Hawkett, a family mediator. Her work is characterised by a calm, structured and impartial approach, focused on facilitating productive discussions and ensuring that each party has the opportunity to be heard. As a mediator, her role is to support the process, provide legal information where appropriate and maintain neutrality at all times.

Neutral & Impartial

Mediation with us is neutral and balanced. We do not take sides or direct outcomes. Our role is to support constructive discussion and ensure both parties are heard and treated fairly throughout the process.

Structured Mediation

We provide a clear and structured framework that supports open discussion while keeping conversations focused and manageable. Each session is designed to help explore options and address practical issues.

Decisions remain with you

Both parties are given equal space to be heard. Discussions are guided calmly and respectfully, with decisions remaining entirely with the clients.

MinusOne Mediation provides structured, impartial support to help separating couples reach clear and practical agreements about children, finances and future arrangements, without the need for court proceedings.
