Welcome to the website of Trish Blyth, Mediator.
People are part of many relationships - relationships with their partners, ex-partners, children, family, friends, business associates, employers, employees, landlords, tenants, neighbours and so on.
When your relationship is going well and issues come up on which you disagree, you can usually talk to each other rationally, sort out your issues and come to an agreement that you are both happy with.
But sometimes things happen in the relationship that mean that you can no longer talk to each other and work things out, in fact sometimes you will end up not even talking to each other at all! If things get really bad, you might think your only alternative is to go to Court and let a Judge decide the outcome. This will result in a winner and a loser, lots of time, energy and money spent , and usually the relationship will take years to mend, if ever.
That's when a Mediator can help!
I can help you really listen to each other. I can help you look beyond what each of you say you want to find out find what each of you really need to get the problem sorted. If emotions are getting in the way of you listening to each other we deal with them. Often in a mediation we not only reach an agreement on the issues that brought you there, but you repair your relationship and learn how to talk to each other better in the future.
So if it sounds like I can help you - read on!!! |
