What solution is it you're wanting? Often meditation is the practice that will find your solution :)

Right...I don't have much experience with meditation, but I need a solution, so I thought that there should be specific technique for this purpose. If i just meditate for relxation, focusing my mind on breathing, it won't do the job...

there is a meditation technique called dhrana, where you start to focus on the breath for several minutes, quietening the mind, and then while still breathing start to gently run the problem around in your mind whilst asking for a solution. so then you think for a bit and then focus on breathing, ask for help, think again , and an answer or answers will come.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure meditation will tell you an answer as such, but it will increase your intuition, which is obviously our inner guidance system that steers us in the right direction, so this will ultimately point you in the right direction, but it doesn't happen with immediate effects normally. IMO, getting to the core of your issue will perhaps be the best thing. Ask yourself questions, self-inquire, but be very honest with yourself; this usually reveals an awful lot when I use this approach and working backwards asking the questions reveals what's underneath and the next logical step is generally sitting there.
I'm a big advocate of meditation so starting with simple techniques like following your breath, or scanning your body etc will really help. Could also try what Pete says, too
