At Mediate UK we know that family mediation can bring about positive change and restore some harmony in the lives of our clients. We are ridiculously committed to what we do and find immense satisfaction in assisting individuals and families navigate through these challenging times and discover a way forward.
Empowerment
Family mediation empowers individuals to take control of their own situation and find mutually agreeable solutions. Unlike traditional adversarial processes, family mediation allows you to actively participate in the decision-making process and have a say in the outcome. It gives you a voice and helps you regain a sense of control over your own life. A court or arbitrator will make an order and you are legally stuck with it – even if you completely disagree with their decision.
Collaboration over confrontation
The family mediation process promotes collaboration, understanding, and cooperation. It provides a safe and neutral space where all parties can express their perspectives, concerns, and interests. Through facilitated discussions, mediation encourages empathy, active listening, and problem-solving. It shifts the focus from confrontation to finding common ground and working together towards a resolution. And it works! 90% of clients who do joint mediation go on to reach an agreement.
Cost-effective
Compared to litigation or other formal legal processes, family mediation is often a more cost-effective option. It can save you significant amounts of time, money, and emotional energy. The sessions are typically shorter and less formal than court hearings, reducing the overall expenses involved. Additionally, by avoiding prolonged legal battles, family mediation helps preserve valuable relationships and minimises the financial strain on all parties involved.
Preservation of relationships
One of the most remarkable aspects of mediation is its ability to preserve and, in some instances, even strengthen relationships. Whether it’s a divorce or separation, family mediation focuses on finding solutions that take into account the needs and interests of all parties.
By fostering open communication and understanding, this process helps rebuild trust and lays the foundation for positive future interactions. This is especially beneficial if you are co-parenting as this will enable a healthy and supportive environment for the well-being and development of your children.
Tailored solutions
Mediate UK’s progressive mediation process offers customised solutions that cater to the unique circumstances and needs of each family or individual. Unlike court-imposed decisions that may not fully address the complexities of your situation, family mediation allows for more flexible outcomes. With the guidance of a skilled mediator, you can create agreements that work specifically for your situation. You can then have these agreements made legally binding through one of our fixed-fee legal packages.
Confidentiality
Mediation is a confidential process, providing a safe environment for open and honest discussions. This confidentiality encourages participants to freely express their thoughts, concerns and emotions without the fear of judgment or negative consequences. It allows for more effective communication and a greater likelihood of reaching a mutually sustainable resolution.
Future-oriented focus
Family mediation places a stronger emphasis on the future, rather than dwelling on past grievances. It encourages parties to identify their underlying goals, enabling them to work together towards long-term solutions. By shifting the focus from blame to problem-solving, family mediation helps create a positive and forward-looking mindset, fostering a more hopeful and optimistic outlook.
