Divorce and Family Mediator based in Camden, North London
Ruth Schocken Katz, mediator
About Ruth Schocken Katz
Separation can be overwhelming, especially when emotions are high and decisions feel urgent. I provide a calm, structured space to help you work through the practical arrangements with clarity and dignity.
My Approach
This service is for married or unmarried couples (including civil partners) who are separating and want a practical, respectful way to agree next steps. It can help where communication has become difficult, where decisions feel stuck, or where you both want to minimise the stress and cost of formal proceedings.
What You Can Expect in Sessions
-
Fair speaking time, so one person does not dominate.
-
No pressure to make decisions; you will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
-
Clear summaries, to help you both feel heard and keep the process on track.
-
Permission to pause, with breaks whenever needed.
-
A focus on solutions, using simple tools to capture progress and clarify proposals.
-
Practical “between session” tasks when helpful (for example, budgets or proposals).
Professional Background
As a trained divorce mediator, I follow professional standards for impartiality, confidentiality and good practice. I also bring many years of coaching experience to the table, which supports people to stay regulated and communicate more effectively during difficult conversations.
