Mediation

Group Facilitation
Where an organisation is going through a period of change, or working relationships are coming under strain, sometimes it can be helpful to organise a group activity led by independent facilitators. Such an activity needs to be carefully planned and properly organised to ensure that the desired outcomes are achieved.

Family Mediation

What is family mediation?
Family mediation is a process which assists separating and divorcing couples to resolve their disputes and negotiate their own agreed decisions in a dignified and fair way, taking account of the needs of all involved, including especially, but not only, where there are children.

The matters to be resolved can include financial and property issues and future arrangements for children.

Step-parents, Grandparents and other family members wanting to agree arrangements for looking after and seeing children may benefit from family mediation too.

The number or sessions required depends entirely on the issues that need to be resolved. On average 4-5 sessions are needed for cases involving property and finance, and 2-3 for those involving children.

Divorce litigation, on the other hand, can take anywhere from several months to several years to be resolved.
