2015 has started with a bang at Brisbane Mediations

Like the fireworks most of us observed in person or electronically at midnight on the 1st of January, 2015 has started with a bang at Brisbane Mediations.


We have taken time out to look at what we did well in 2014 and what we may be able to improve or add to our services in 2015.  We're back on deck energised and ready to listen.


Judging by the people who have already rung Krystina or come through our door for intake discussions this week, at least some problem situations have not magically disappeared over the Christmas holiday period.


This year, as always, we intend to deliver non-judgmental, supportive and skilled conflict management to our clients.   


We must of course remain neutral and not "take sides" or lecture parties about what we believe is the best way to resolve their disputes.  We do, however, challenge and assist with reality testing of desired outcomes, helping our clients to realise that just as there are at least two sides to every story, there are at least two perspectives to every dispute.  The old saying, "It takes two to tango" could be modified to, "It takes at least two to create conflict".


Whether your dispute is the result of a relationship separation, entrenched tensions between extended family members, workplace disagreements or conflict over an estate you think has been unfairly apportioned, the Brisbane Mediations team is trained and equipped to assist.


It is our role to guide people in dispute to a resolution they can live with and that allows them to move on with their lives - if possible, without harbouring resentment. The team at Brisbane Mediations derive pleasure from seeing our clients relieved of the burden of emotionally draining and often financially expensive disputes. We've all seen enough of those in the Court system.


Life is short.  Let's all make the most of it.  At Brisbane Mediations we like to say, Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.  Just because you've had bad luck with someone significant in your world, you don't have to live the rest of your life with conflict, stress and regret.  We aim to help our clients chalk it up to experience, let go of the bitterness and move on.


We know that the people who come to see us are usually hurting and feeling betrayed. Those feelings take time to heal, but we would love to start you off in a more positive direction with an agreement that, no matter how hard won,  all parties can at least tolerate. Over time, the conflict can become a blip on the horizon.


Come in and see us and make 2015 your best year yet!
