The first step in any mediation is separate 'pre-mediation' appointments with each person. These are so important.

They provide a chance for each person to build trust in the mediator, to learn how the process works and to do some preliminary thinking about how to approach the discussions in the joint mediation session.

But they are also critical to the mediator doing their job well. It allows them to learn about the situation from each person's perspective, which helps them choose an approach for the joint session that will maximise the chance of success. It also, critically, provides the mediator with the information that they need to make sure that running a joint mediation session is appropriate.

My marvellous colleague Renee Toy recently wrote an article about that critical question about when mediation is and isn't recommended.

You have separated, but you're not sure if mediation is the right step for you. Renee Toy looks at when mediation is recommended (or not).
