Relationship Mediation

At SikhTherapy.com, we offer specialised relationship mediation services aimed at helping families resolve conflicts and work together harmoniously. Our approach is designed to facilitate effective communication and collaboration among family members, enabling them to build functional and supportive relationships.

What is Relationship Mediation?

Relationship mediation involves working with family members to address and resolve disputes in a constructive manner. This process is particularly beneficial for families undergoing transitions such as divorce, separation, or significant changes in family dynamics. Through mediation, all parties are given a chance to be heard in an impartial, non-judgmental, and respectful environment. The goal is to reach a mutually agreeable solution that fosters a healthy and functional family relationship.

How Does it Work?

1. Initial Consultation: The process begins with an initial consultation where the mediator meets with all family members involved. This session helps to understand the issues at hand and the perspectives of each participant.
2. Mediation Sessions: The mediator facilitates a series of sessions where family members can express their views, concerns, and desired outcomes. The mediator ensures that everyone is heard and respected, fostering an open and honest dialogue.
3. Agreement Formation: Through guided discussions, the mediator helps the family members reach an agreement on how to address the issues. This agreement is crafted collaboratively, with the mediator working closely with each member to ensure it meets everyone's needs.
4. Follow-Up Sessions: A couple of follow-up sessions may be scheduled to review the progress of the agreement and make any necessary adjustments. This ensures that the resolutions are being effectively implemented and maintained.

Non-Legal Family Mediation

It is important to note that our mediation services are non-legal. The focus is on relationship mediation to help families work together effectively. Our mediators provide a safe space for all members to be heard and respected for their views. 

The mediator remains impartial, ensuring a fair and balanced process. Agreements are made collaboratively, with the mediator's guidance, and the process typically involves several sessions to work through the issues.

Success Rates and Benefits

Relationship mediation boasts high success rates, especially when working with families and extended families. It effectively addresses differences that may arise when a grandchild is born, new members join the family, or during other significant transitions. Mediation also helps resolve sibling conflicts and past issues that may impact current family relationships. For Asian families, where extended families and community principles are particularly significant, relationship mediation has been shown to have success rates of over 90%. 

This process not only builds respect, boundaries, and improves family dynamics, but in our experience, it has truly transformed the way families move forward, ensuring everyone feels respected and clear about their roles within the relationship.

Types of Issues Addressed

• Divorced or Separated Parents: Helping parents work together to co-parent effectively and maintain a stable environment for their children.
• Extended Family Dynamics: Facilitating better relationships and understanding among extended family members, particularly during transitions such as marriages or births.
• Sibling Conflicts: Addressing past issues and current conflicts between siblings to improve their relationships.
• Family Transitions: Navigating changes such as the inclusion of new family members or significant life events.
