Peace does not mean the absence of conflict, but the ability to resolve them peacefully.
Conflict is a natural part of relationships – between partners, within families, at work, or in other spheres of life. Misunderstandings, differing opinions, and conflicting needs always arise when people are close. The problem lies not in the conflict itself, but in how we resolve it. When emotions take over, communication breaks down, and parties distance themselves instead of seeking a common solution.
Mediation is a proven path to break the spiral of conflict. It is a process where a neutral mediator helps parties listen to each other, understand their needs, and work out a solution satisfactory to all. Unlike court disputes, mediation emphasizes dialogue, cooperation, and preserving the dignity of each party.
Mediation is a structured conversation led by a professional, impartial mediator. The mediator does not impose solutions or judge who is right – their role is to create a safe space for dialogue and support in reaching an agreement that considers the needs of both parties.
As mediators, we are neutral guides in the conflict resolution process. We are not judges or advocates for either side – our goal is to help you listen to each other and find a solution that works for both parties.
We create a safe space where everyone can express their needs and concerns without fear of attack or judgment. We help structure the conversation, ask questions that lead to deeper understanding, and support in creating concrete, realistic solutions.
Our experience in working with conflicts, emotions, and interpersonal communication allows us to effectively conduct mediations even in the most challenging situations. We understand that every conflict is unique and requires an individual approach – which is why we flexibly adapt the process to your needs.
If you are struggling with a conflict that seems unresolved, mediation can be the answer. You don’t have to agree to everything the other party says – it’s enough that you are ready to try and find a common solution.
Mediation is an opportunity to end conflict constructively, maintaining respect for yourself and the other party. It’s a chance to transform dispute into agreement, and tension into cooperation.

Summary of the achieved goal and conclusion of the mediation process.
The agreement reached during mediation is not automatically legally binding, but it can be if the parties wish. Once an agreement is reached, you can give it the form of a court settlement or a notarial deed, which will make it legally enforceable. The mediator can assist in formulating the agreement clearly and practicably.
Mediation is a voluntary process – both parties must agree to participate. If the other party is reluctant, it’s worth presenting the benefits of mediation (saving time, costs, control over the solution). We can also assist with initial contact and explaining the process. If, despite this, the other party refuses, mediation will unfortunately not be possible.
The length of the process depends on the complexity of the case and the parties’ readiness to reach an agreement. Simple conflicts can be resolved in 2-3 sessions (each 1.5-2 hours), while more complex matters, such as divorce with asset division, may require 5-8 meetings spread over time. During the initial contact, we will jointly estimate the probable duration of the mediation.
Yes, you can consult with a lawyer before, during, or after mediation. Some clients choose to have a lawyer present during sessions – this is possible if both parties agree. A lawyer can be valuable support in understanding the legal aspects of an agreement, but their role during mediation is advisory, not confrontational.
If mediation does not yield a result, you retain the full right to pursue your claims in other ways – for example, through legal action. Nothing said during mediation can be used against you in court (principle of confidentiality). However, it’s worth noting that most mediations end successfully – statistics show an effectiveness rate of 70-80%.
In cases of domestic violence, standard mediation may not be safe or appropriate. If there is a history of violence or one party fears the other, this should be reported before starting the process. In some situations, indirect mediation (without direct contact between parties) or other forms of support may be more suitable. Participant safety is always a priority.
Mediation costs are typically significantly lower than court proceedings. The fee depends on the complexity of the case and the number of sessions. Traditionally, parties split the mediation costs equally, but they can agree on a different division. Remember that investing in mediation often pays off many times over by avoiding court and legal fees.
You don’t need to prepare extensively – openness to dialogue is the most important thing. It can be helpful to consider what is most important to you in this situation and what solution would be satisfactory. If the matter involves financial or legal issues, it is advisable to gather relevant documents. During the first session, the mediator will explain the process rules and help establish a plan for further actions.
If you are struggling with a conflict that seems unresolved, mediation can be the answer. You don’t have to agree to everything the other party says – it’s enough that you are ready to try and find a common solution.
With professionally conducted mediation, you gain:
Time and Cost Savings: Mediation is significantly faster and more affordable than court proceedings. Instead of years of waiting for a verdict, an agreement can be reached in just a few meetings.
Preservation of Relationships: Mediation helps resolve conflict in a way that doesn’t destroy relationships between parties. This is especially important when they need to continue cooperating – for example, as parents or colleagues.
Control over the Solution: In mediation, the parties themselves decide the final form of the agreement. This ensures that the solution better meets actual needs and is easier to implement.
Confidentiality: Unlike court hearings, mediation is confidential – what is said will not go public.
