How it works

Describe what’s going on

Type a few sentences about the disagreement. No forms, no sign-up wall — just say what’s on your mind.

Talk it through privately

Meedi8 listens, asks the questions you’re too close to ask yourself, and helps you spot the underlying need driving the conflict.

Invite the other person

When you’re ready, send a private link. They join the same room, get heard fairly, and the conversation moves toward common ground.

Walk away with a plan

Capture what you agreed in a clear, written summary. Use it as a memorandum, share it with a solicitor, or just keep it for yourselves.

Why people use Meedi8

A different way to handle the conversations that matter most.

Completely neutral

No history with either of you, no taking sides. Both perspectives get the same care, the same questions, the same airtime.

There when you need it

Disagreements don’t wait for office hours. Meedi8 is available 24/7, ready when the tension flares — not three weeks from Tuesday.

Private by design

Conversations are encrypted, names are never sold, and no one at Meedi8 reads your sessions. You stay in control of what gets shared.

A fraction of the cost

Professional mediation can run into thousands. Start free, upgrade only if you want more sessions or extra features — never a surprise bill.

Private by design

End-to-End Encryption

All conversations are encrypted. Only you and the other person can read them.

GDPR Compliant

Your data is protected under the strictest privacy regulations. Delete anytime.

Completely Confidential

No one at Meedi8 can read your conversations. Your coaching sessions are private.

Common questions

Whatever it is, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Start with a sentence about what’s going on. We’ll take it from there.
