Options for Mediation
Round Table Mediation

Engage in facilitated dialogue with our mediator, involving two parties, with the primary objective of reaching an agreement aligned with the needs of both parties and the children.

Shuttle Mediation

Experience effective mediation even when parties are in separate rooms or spaces. Our mediator adeptly "shuttles" between the parties, facilitating communication and resolution.

Legally Assisted Mediation

In this approach, clients benefit from legal representation. While lawyers provide guidance during the mediation process, their role is supportive, and they do not speak on behalf of the parties.

Child Inclusive Mediation

Our Child Inclusive Mediation promotes the secure and indirect participation of children within the mediation process, guided by a trained child specialist. The child specialists ensures the child's needs and interests remain a priority.

“Children possess an innate wisdom that often goes unheard. To truly understand their world, we must lend them our ears, not just for the words they speak, but for the unspoken language of their hearts.”
