What sort of people become mediators? Family mediators come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many are family lawyers or have at some stage worked as family lawyers. Many come from a therapy or counselling background. Sometimes two mediators from different backgrounds work together to combine their different specialist skills. All qualified family mediators are trained to work with families in conflict and have considerable experience in helping families to work together to find practical solutions to their problems.
