About Me

I’m Shabina Khalifa, your local family mediator based in Nuneaton. After more than 20 years working in health services, I’ve seen how powerful it can be when people are given the space to talk openly and feel genuinely heard. I follow the principle of Shura (coming together to discuss matters thoughtfully) because I believe every family deserves a safe and balanced environment to make important decisions. Although I have a specialism in Islamic Law, my mediation services are open to everyone. I work with families from all backgrounds, faiths, and cultures.

I am currently working towards my full family mediation accreditation. During this time, I am supported and supervised by accredited and experienced family mediators. This ensures that every session is held to a high professional standard, giving you complete confidence in the process.

I also have in-depth training in safeguarding, domestic abuse, and coercive control, and I’m fully DBS certified so safety and dignity are always at the centre of the process.
I can offer mediation in English and Gujarati. I can also arrange translation support through trusted professionals if you prefer another language.

Whether you’re navigating a separation, discussing childcare, or trying to find common ground, I’m here to support you in moving towards a more hopeful and settled future.

"We are open to all backgrounds, faiths, and cultures. Our practice is built on the universal values of respect, dignity, and listening."
