Talking to us about Mediation

🕊️ Mediation: A Calm Way Forward

We understand that the idea of sitting down with someone you’ve had problems with can feel daunting. It’s natural to feel anger, fear, or frustration; it’s common to wonder whether mediation will really help.

But when both sides are willing to give it a try, real progress can be made. Just a couple of hours in mediation can make a positive difference in the short, medium, and long term, helping neighbours live alongside one another more peacefully.

It’s important to remember that mediation is always voluntary.

When you speak with us about our service, we’ll:

👂 1. Listen to You

Meaning: We’ll ask about the problems you’re facing, how they affect you, and why resolving them matters.

💬 2. Explain the Process

Meaning: We’ll outline how mediation works and how it may help in your situation.

🧭 3. Explore Your Options

Meaning: Together, we’ll look at other ways of resolving the issue, discussing the pros and cons so you can decide what’s best for you.
