Primarily facilitative. I believe it is the parties dispute and to begin to assert my own values, opinions, or beliefs is to turn the mediation into a settlement conference where their personal or emotional issues are diminished or ignored completely in favor of a settlement that I orchestrate.

I bill on an hourly, half-day or full-day basis. Fees generally split by the parties. Administrative fees are billed when appropriate. This is always discussed up front. The final invoice is always based on time, so if a client has booked a full day mediation and we finish in 6 hours 45 minutes, that is the time the client will be billed for, not 8 hours.
