Family mediation

Every family has arguments and quarrels. The question is not whether conflicts occur, but how they are dealt with. In professional family mediation, you can address problems, gather ideas and make concrete agreements for the future. This will give you a better understanding of each other and strengthen mutual trust.

In the event of a separation, especially of parents with children, there is a lot to discuss. How can we continue to be there for the children together and take responsibility for them? How do we regulate financial aspects such as the division of joint assets and pension entitlements? All of this can be clarified in mediation.

What is family mediation about?

The ideas of partnership and family are diverse. In mediation, the different wishes, hopes and fears are expressed and then reconciled in a creative way.

It is often about how family cohesion can be strengthened and how different needs can be taken into account. One key to improving the relationship is communication with each other. It’s about how, when and about what you communicate with each other. Here too, different needs and interests must be taken into account.

Parents with different ideas about raising their children still want to pull together. What is the best way to achieve this?

Couples who separate want to continue caring for their children together as parents. How do you want to organize everyday life? How do we arrange contact with the children and how do we finance their living expenses?

Advantages of family mediation

In family mediation, you can openly discuss problems, worries, fears and hopes. Through open discussion, misunderstandings are cleared up, you gain a better understanding of each other and discover common ground.

Families often experience new forms of interaction and communication in mediation, from which they benefit in the long term. They learn to accept criticism and see conflicts as an opportunity for positive change.

Mediation gives you new scope for action and opportunities to influence your family life. This leads to lasting relief and greater satisfaction.

New ways in partnership

Mediation also offers many opportunities for couples who do not want to separate but want to hold on to their relationship. You can talk openly about the current state of your relationship, about difficulties, fears and hopes. In a structured process, you will work out concrete proposals on how you would like to shape your partnership in the future.

Compared to couples therapy, the discussions in mediation do not go into as much depth. We only talk about past experiences and emotions to the extent necessary to make concrete agreements for the future. Mediation can be an alternative or a supplement to therapy.
