Guiding You Through the Mediation Process

We begin with a confidential conversation to understand your situation and explore whether mediation is the right approach. This session is informal and carries no obligation. If both parties agree to proceed, we move on to prepare the mediation.

  • Initial Consultation

    We begin with a confidential conversation to understand your situation and determine if mediation is the right path for you.

  • Preparing for Mediation

    All parties sign an Agreement to Mediate. The mediator then meets with the parties, to prepare for the joint session.

  • Joint Session

    In a scheduled session or over a number or session, each party shares their perspective on the conflict in a safe and structured environment.

  • Dialogue and Exploration

    Through structured discussion, the mediator helps to identify key concerns, underlying interests, and potential areas of agreement.

  • Brainstorming and Option Building

    Parties are encouraged to propose and discuss potential solutions openly. This stage promotes creativity, cooperation, and realistic planning.

  • Drafting the Agreement

    If agreement is reached, the mediator helps to draft a written agreement. The parties decide whether the agreement will be legally binding.

  • Closing and Follow-Up

    Follow-up sessions or post-mediation check-in, depending on the circumstances can take place.

Yes. Everything said during mediation is private and cannot be shared without the consent of all parties, with limited exceptions required by law (e.g. imminent harm).

Even if no final agreement is reached, mediation often improves communication and understanding. In such cases, we can explore whether a follow-up session would be helpful or close the process respectfully.

Fees vary depending on the type of mediation and the number of sessions required. We are committed to providing clear, transparent pricing and will discuss this with you at the initial consultation.
