Family Dispute Mediation Services

Mediation for wider family disputes

Family mediation isn't just for separating couples. I can also help when conflict or disagreement arises between other family members, providing a calm and structured space to have conversations that may otherwise feel difficult or impossible.

​

This could include adult siblings disagreeing about the care or future of a parent, a parent and adult child struggling to agree about important family decisions, such as wedding plans, or a partner and adult child trying to rebuild a relationship following a period of estrangement.

​

My role isn't to decide who is right or to force people to agree. Instead, I help everyone have their say, understand what matters to the others involved and explore practical ways forward that everyone can live with.

Adult sibling disputes

Family disagreements aren't always about separation. Sometimes brothers and sisters find themselves unable to agree about important family decisions, particularly when emotions, money or long-standing family dynamics are involved.

​

This could be disagreements about inheritance or family property, financial arrangements, family responsibilities or what happens to important family possessions. Sometimes a particular event brings old tensions to the surface, or siblings who have become estranged want to explore whether they can find a way to move forward.

Mediation provides a safe and structured space for siblings to talk openly, understand each other's concerns and explore practical ways forward. My role isn't to decide who is right, but to help you have the conversation and see whether an agreement can be reached.

Disagreements about caring for a parent

When a parent gets older and needs more care or support, families can find themselves facing difficult decisions. Siblings may have very different views about what is best for their parent, even when they all want the same thing.

​

You may disagree about where your parent should live, what care they need, who should take responsibility, how that responsibility should be shared or how the costs should be met.

My role as a mediator is to provide a neutral and structured space where everyone can have their say, understand each other's concerns and work towards practical solutions that everyone can live with. I won't decide who is right, but I can help you have the conversations that may otherwise feel difficult to have.
