What is Mediation?
Mediation is a process in which the mediator assists the clients in reaching a resolution of the complaint.
Mediation helps identify areas of agreement and disagreement between parents. Through the process, underlying matters come to the surface. Ultimately, we go from positions to interests. This tends to open up possibilities that get us to a final resolution of the complaint.
The decision-making power always rests in the hands of the parents.
Who is Mediation for?
Mediation is for those who want to have autonomy over their decisions and who want to avoid going through long and expensive legal procedures.
Mediation provides an opportunity to find peaceful resolutions in many co-parenting conflicts. A mediation process gives you the opportunity to share feelings and emotions, find common grounds, reduce oppositions and uncover underlying matters.
It's for those who want to come to a durable and balanced co-parenting agreement that is based on respectful communication.
Benefits of Mediation
- and advantages compared to legal procedures
Autonomy
Mediation allows both parents and children to retain more control over the process compared to traditional legal procedures.
Confidentiality
All discussions and information shared during mediation remain confidential, providing a safe space for open communication.
Quick & Cost-Effective
Mediation is typically faster and more affordable than going through lengthy court battles.
Creative Problem-Solving
Mediation fosters a collaborative environment, encouraging parents to explore creative solutions tailored to their unique family situation.
Authority Over Outcomes
Unlike legal proceedings where a judge makes the final decision, mediation empowers parents to take charge of their own resolution.

Family mediation is accessible when parents need guidance and support in building new agreements and improving communication in their co-parenting relationship.
What Clients Say
“I was in a difficult situation with the father of my children when I reached out to Fedoua. She has guided me through the chaos and given me hope to get out of my pain and misery.”
Katharina (32)
What Clients Say
“Fedoua has a way of helping people to open up and share their concerns. It felt natural to talk to her about our problems.”
Roel (42) and Inge (40)
What Clients Say
“I have contacted Fedoua when I had some legal cross border issues. Although this wasn’t a mediation because my partner was not willing to negotiate, she was genuinely concerned with my issues and she took all the time to help me out. She knew how to reassure me and tell me that things will be fine. It was a difficult process and many times I have lost hope but every time she knew how to keep me focused so I can have the energy to work on the problems I was facing with my ex-husband and the father of my children.”
Nour (32) from Morocco
