Mediation
A neutral mediator helps people discuss practical disagreements, including parenting arrangements and financial concerns. The participants work towards their own decisions; the mediator does not decide the dispute.

Mediation And Counselling
Mediation And Counselling address different needs during family disputes. Explore practical discussions, emotional support and the questions to ask before getting started.
Discuss Your Matter ↗
Two approaches. Different purposes.
Understanding Mediation And Counselling
Counselling
Counselling offers a setting to explore feelings, relationship difficulties and communication patterns with a suitably qualified professional. Its focus is emotional support rather than negotiating settlement terms.
Key Differences
| Focus | Mediation | Counselling |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Discuss workable arrangements | Explore emotions and relationships |
| Professional’s role | Facilitate a balanced discussion | Provide therapeutic support |
| Conversation topics | Parenting, finances and practical concerns | Distress, communication and coping |
These approaches can complement each other. Neither replaces independent legal advice about your rights or a proposed settlement.
