At  Practical Mediation we can give you expert and effective help in resolving disputes. Whether you have a problem in a business transaction, difficulties in work relationships, or your relationship with a neighbour, our experienced mediators, Trish Groves and Roger Gilbert, can help you to find a way forward to a timely and cost-effective solution.

Historically, mediation has been considered a form of ADR or “Alternative Dispute Resolution”. At Practical Mediation, we think it’s time that mediation became the first choice for resolving disputes of all types. Compared with the traditional methods of dispute resolution – litigation, grievance procedures, disciplinary hearings, and the like – mediation has many advantages for the parties. Most people find mediation a positive experience:

Mediations can be set up in a matter of days and completed very quickly.

They take place in private and in confidence.

The procedure is flexible and under the control of the parties.

The parties can reach solutions unavailable to the win/lose outcomes of traditional procedures.

Most mediations result in a successful outcome as judged by the parties.

They save huge amounts of time, stress, and money.

The mediation process helps repair relationships rather than damage them.

If you are not sure if mediation is the right way forward, or how to introduce the idea of mediating to others, we can supply help, guidance, and reassurance.
