Mediation

Mediation is a process whereby  a certified and experienced Mediator assists two disputing parties to resolve their dispute in a neutral, safe, fair and independent way.  Mediation is a way of resolving simple and complex disputes and is entirely voluntary.  Mediation is often sought as an alternative process to court proceedings and is utilised in order for both parties to reach a collaborative resolution between them using the expertise of the Mediator they choose to engage with.  Mediation seeks to invite those with an open mind and the process is fair to all participants.  A resolution is obtained by consulting with each party in equally and and both parties are offered the opportunity to consult with the Mediator one to one before both parties engaging with the Mediator at the same time.  Mediation can be carried out in a short amount of time e.g one day, or over several sessions,  again, depending on the complexities of the dispute.  Mediation is not a substitute for legal advice or counselling, rather an assisted process whereby the resolution is achieved by two willing and engaging participants.
