Adult Family Mediation

We offer Adult Family Mediation in Upper Rissington, Bloxham and Online.

​

Family relationships can be complicated. Difficulties may build over many years, or a particular event may cause communication to break down completely. Adult family mediation offers a supportive, structured space in which family members can come together, talk openly and begin to understand what has happened between them.

We work with adults experiencing a wide range of family difficulties, including conflict between parents and adult children, sibling relationships, estrangement, disagreements around caring responsibilities, changing family roles, boundaries and unresolved issues from the past.

Our role is not to take sides or decide who is right or wrong. Instead, we help each person to have a voice, listen to different perspectives and explore the patterns that may be keeping the family stuck. What appears to be an argument about one issue can often have deeper feelings of hurt, rejection, anger, loss or misunderstanding underneath it.

We provide a calm, respectful environment where difficult conversations can take place more safely and constructively. Where appropriate, we can help family members identify clearer boundaries, communicate their needs differently and consider practical ways of moving forward.

Mediation does not require everyone to agree or forget what has happened. Sometimes the aim is reconciliation; at other times it may be greater understanding, healthier boundaries or finding a more manageable way of relating. Whatever has brought your family to us, we will work collaboratively with you to explore what a better relationship might look like.
