mediation.

We facilitate, moderate, and structure conversations. We make sure everyone involved receives the space they need to tell their side of a story. We offer a supportive third-party perspective: we support all those involved in the conflict to voice their concerns and help to find (or generate) constructive solutions.

about mediation.

Mediation is not a therapeutic intervention, nor is it a substitute for it. During our conversations we won’t dig into the past. Although we may look at the history of a conflict, we are solution-oriented and we focus on the ‘here-and-now’. We will only discuss what you want to bring to the table - nothing more, nothing less - and will keep everything we talk about private and confidential.

why mediation?

Mediation can help to resolve all sorts of conflicts: e.g. between (ex-)partners, within a family, among colleagues at work, between friends, neighbours, or communities. Disputes and misunderstandings are costly. Sometimes the cost is financial, but conflicts always drain the most valuable resources we have: time and (emotional) energy. Investing in a few mediation sessions can quickly resolve a conflict and allow all parties involved to see eye to eye and move forward.

We offer mediation, conflict coaching, and conflict resolution tactics and strategies that can be applied to a diverse range of personal and professional contexts.

how we work.

In conflicts where two parties (or small groups) are involved, one of us will be your mediator. With larger groups, or when a case is more complex, we work as a team of two mediators.

Mediation sessions last 90-120 minutes. Team mediations and larger group sessions can last longer. Experience has shown us that most conflicts can be resolved in 3-6 sessions, but, as each case is unique, mediations can last shorter or longer.

languages.

We offer mediation sessions primarily in Dutch, English, French, and German. We can also support you with a session in which one or more of the participants speak Arabic, Spanish, and/or Turkish.

requirements.

Mediation offers value in a diverse range of contexts and conflicts. You don’t require special skills or prior knowledge in order for it to succeed. The only thing we ask is that you are willing to actively participate in the process and remain committed to working on solutions.
