In matrimonial cases conciliation/mediation is a primary process in which efforts are made to resolve the issue mutually by consent of the parties, with help of a mediator/councilator. In that process both parties are called in person and the mediator tries for resolution of the case. Advocates are not required for this and they are not permitted to be present during counciliation/mediation. The court will proceed in the main case only after getting report of the mediator.

Only thing is you have to be clear on your demands and grounds and should also be aware of the grounds taken by the other party. However for administrtive co-ordination you can engage a lawyer, but not required mandatorily. All that you have to do is to be present on the date at the conciliators office.
