The Team

Meet our family mediators

Our practice includes more than one family mediator so that people can choose the level of support that best fits their needs and their budget. All mediations follow the same structured process and the same values: clear communication, informed decision-making, and respectful problem-solving. Every Separation Agreement is drafted or reviewed by a senior family lawyer.

Our Origin

Why we practice family mediation

Rebecca began her career as a family and divorce lawyer, advocating for one person at a time within the traditional adversarial system. Over time it became clear how inefficient that system can be. Despite the fact that most separations require the same core steps, there was no consistent process. Each file was built from scratch, which often stretched matters out for many months and sometimes years.

The human cost was just as clear. Prolonged legal battles left many clients emotionally depleted and financially exhausted, even when their legal issues were eventually resolved. Families were looking for something different: a more human, organized, and collaborative way to work through separation.

Most separations need the same core steps. So we built a process that follows them, every time.

That is what Victoria Mediation exists to provide: a structured family mediation process that simplifies difficult discussions, supports shared understanding, and helps families move forward with clarity and confidence. Learn more about how family mediation works.

Experience & Oversight

Experience and professional oversight

Victoria Mediation brings more than 20 years of family law experience to its work as family mediators, including over 12 years practicing exclusively in family mediation. In that time Rebecca Alleyne has acted as a family law mediator for more than 1,000 families in Victoria, BC and across British Columbia, helping them work through parenting, support, and property decisions in a structured and informed way. That depth of experience is what allows the process to anticipate common challenges and ensure every separation mediation addresses all of the issues that need to be resolved.

Because Rebecca is both an accredited family law mediator and a practicing family lawyer, professional oversight runs through every file. We explain how BC family law applies to the issues being discussed, identify the information and calculations needed to make informed decisions, and ensure that agreements are grounded in legal reality. Families move through mediation knowing the process is guided by experienced family mediators and supported by clear legal information.

Levels of Support

One structured process, three levels of support

As the practice has grown, we have expanded the ways families can access support depending on their needs and circumstances. Some people work directly with Rebecca. Others work with associate mediator Isabella Paul under the same structured process and professional oversight. And for those who want a more self-directed option, Rebecca built family law software called Divii that helps couples create clear, legally sound separation agreements at a lower cost. Every path leads to the same destination.

Making the Choice

Choosing the right family mediator

Choosing a family mediator can shape your entire separation experience. Beyond credentials, it matters that you work with someone whose approach, communication style, and level of experience feel right for you. You want a mediator who can explain the process clearly, help you understand how the law applies, and keep discussions focused and productive, especially when emotions run high.

Every family is different, and there is not a single right fit for everyone. Some people value working directly with a senior family mediator with decades of experience. Others prefer a more affordable option with additional structure and oversight. Our role is to make sure that whichever path you choose, you feel supported, informed, and confident as you work through important decisions about your family's future.

If you are not sure which is right for you, take our two-minute quiz or book a free consultation and we will help you decide before you commit to anything.
