How to mediate when you feel unable to talk with your ex?
Often clients initially feel unable to contemplate the thought of sitting with their ex-partner to discuss their issues. This may be for a variety of reasons:
a) fear of trying mediation, a newer way of resolving matters
b) belief that a legal battle, in the traditional way, is the only or best route,
c) clients may feel uncomfortable, especially when not having seen or spoken to an ex-partner for quite some time
d) fear of discussions turning in an argument
e) feel unable to speak out, especially if an ex-partner is domineering or intimidating
f) perhaps disbelieve mediation could help, when you have been unable to sort things out directly between yourselves.
g) perhaps there is a real fear for your own safety.
Our Mediators are able to help you both, even if you or your ex-partner should have one or more of these fears.
Initially, you may wish to attend alone so that you have an opportunity to discuss your concerns with the Mediator. You can then also find out how mediation works, and how it can help you both find solutions.
Even in the most difficult of situations, where clients feel communication has completely broken down, our Mediators have helped clients resolve their issues.

Clients have commented they felt better talking to their ex-partner when an independent Mediator was present. They felt more able to discuss proposals in a fair and amicable way, in a neutral and informal environment.
