About us

Our expertly trained Intermediaries have a range of skills and expertise to enable us to offer Intermediary Services in both the Family and Criminal Courts across England and Wales.

Hello, we are Mark and Zoe. Mark is the Director of Aspire Intermediary Services and Zoe is the Service Manager.

Our core strength comes from our values and ethos. Aspire Intermediary Services was developed by the Director Mark Sloman who is an intermediary with years of experience in supporting Service Users both in Family and Criminal Proceedings.

Despite a now national footprint, his leadership is reflected throughout our team who engage with Services Users and professionals respectfully, kindly and responsibly.

Zoe is a qualified social worker with years of experience working with children and vulnerable adults, alongside years of experience offering Intermediary Services to children, young people and vulnerable adults in both Family and Criminal Courts.


Our Expertise

We specialise in working with children, young people and adults who:

• Have severe mental illness, learning disability and learning difficulties.

• Neurodiversity (autism, ADHD and other neurological and developmental conditions)

• Have complex post traumatic stress disorder and a past history of trauma.

We work hard to match the specialisms of our intermediaries to the service users specific needs. Our Intermediaries all undergo a rigorous induction and training programme which aims to build on their expertise and experience.
