Mediation

 

The Human Being in Conflict handling

What is mediation

 

"Mediation is a confidential and structured process in which parties, with the assistance of one or more mediators, voluntarily and autonomously seek a mutually agreeable solution to resolve their conflict."

"A mediator is an independent and neutral person without decision-making authority who guides the parties through mediation."

"The parties may terminate the mediation at any time.“

– extract from mediation law §

What I can do

 

Guide organisations and teams towards resolution when conflict arises

Settling disputes in the private environment (inheritance, separation, neighborhood, association)

Resolve disagreements about changes and (far-reaching) decisions

My primary focus

Making myself redundant as a mediator and providing guidance on how to resolve future conflicts

Advantages of mediation

  • Mediation works, 80% of cases come to an agreement

  • Mediation is an alternative to other procedures, e.g. legal disputes, arbitration.

  • Mediation is sustainable, the participants control the process and work out agreements

  • Mediation is designed to resolve the core conflicts quickly

  • Mediation is confidential, it takes place in a protected environment with agreed communication rules

  • Mediation is relationship-building, fosters the relationship between the involved parties in the conflict

What do I work with

  • As a certified mediator, educated at the Heidelberg Institute for Mediation (HIM) as well as the University of Heidelberg, I work with the “Heidelberger Mediation Modell”.

  • In case the conflict resolution process requires the assistance of a co-mediator,
    suitable partners are available.
