  • A one-on-one meeting where we explain the process, understand your situation, and answer any questions. This helps you feel prepared and informed before mediation.

  • We make sure that mediation is the right process for you. If it is, we assist you to gather relevant information, clarify the issues, and help you think through what you want to achieve. This ensures everyone enters the mediation with a clear understanding and realistic goals.

  • A structured session where both parties come together with the mediator to discuss issues, explore options, and work toward agreement. We guide the conversation so it stays respectful and productive.

  • Any agreements reached are documented, and we explain next steps. We can also provide referrals or additional support if needed, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
