Mediation
When communication is rough
And you could use a little help.
Discussions are making no progress. For every white you offer you hear black. Compromise feels impossible. You couldn’t communicate when you were together and now it is just harder. No one is listening …
​
It’s time to bring in a mediator.
​
When you have reached a deadlock, or it seems you are miles apart, a mediator offers a conduit. A mediator will help you ask the right questions, listen to what is coming back and hear a different perspective. We are trained to find that pathway that allows you both to make good decisions about your future and holistic decisions about your family.
Before we all sit down together, we work with you both individually to prepare to get the most out of mediation. You will each have at least one personal intake session and we will give your our specially designed workbook which offers practical exercises and examples to help negotiate and listen effectively. This work is designed to empower you to make respectful, confident choices that help solve your immediate problem and realise your long-term vision.

What is mediation
And how does it work.
Mediation can take a range of formats and cover a range of topics – we can sit together, or we can work across different locations, you can bring an advisor or support person, or we can break sessions up across a couple of weeks. We can talk finances, parenting or both.​
​
Your mediation starts with each of you sitting down individually with your mediator and talking about what is going on. We will talk about your problems, how you would like to solve them, what you would like to achieve, and how the kids are handling it all.
​
Then we all get together and try to find some solutions which will work for everyone.
Ultimately this is for you and your ex, it’s your forum. We will structure discussions and keep you both on track and directed towards practical, feasible solutions. We will teach you to communicate better in the future – not just with your ex, but through new negotiation skills that can help with your kids as they grow up.
