Offerings

I offer mediative support for people, teams, organisations, and community groups navigating conflict, tension, difference, or a breakdown in relationship. This is a supportive and impartial approach to working with conflict as it emerges, helping people make sense of what is happening, engage with difficult conversations, and find ways forward. Where useful, this can also include facilitated mediation.

I work with the belief that conflict is often more complex than the issue that sits on the surface. Together, we can explore what is happening beneath the disagreement - including needs, feelings, expectations, boundaries, power, and patterns of relating. My approach creates space for different experiences to be heard and understood, without requiring everyone to agree or see things in the same way.

My role is not to decide who is right, determine an outcome, or tell people what they should do. Instead, I support people to engage with conflict more consciously, build awareness of what's happening between them, develop greater agency in how they respond and help enable creative problem solving. This might involve individual support, preparing for a difficult conversation, working through tensions as they arise, or bringing people together in a facilitated mediation process.

Mediative support can be useful at different stages of conflict: when something feels difficult but hasn't yet been addressed, when conversations have become strained, or when relationships need attention after a rupture. Depending on the context, mediative support might involve one-to-one conversations, support for people navigating a shared difficulty, facilitated conversations, or a more structured mediation process. We can explore what would be most useful for your situation and adapt the approach accordingly.

What we might work on

• Conflict between colleagues or within teams.

• Preparing for and navigating difficult conversations.

• Breakdown in communication and unresolved conflict.

• Differences in needs, expectations, values, or boundaries.

• Navigating power, difference, and competing perspectives.

• Repairing working relationships and rebuilding trust.

• Supporting groups and organisations to develop more constructive ways of engaging with conflict.

I offer creative group facilitation to help teams, organisations, and communities move through complex challenges, difficult conversations, and moments of uncertainty.

I work collaboratively with you to design and facilitate sessions that are both caring and purposeful, creating the conditions for honest dialogue, collective problem-solving, and meaningful progress. My aim is for groups to leave with greater clarity, stronger relationships, and a shared sense of direction.

My facilitation approach is informed by the principles of multi-partiality and unconditional positive regard. This means I seek to understand and support all perspectives in the room, working from the belief that people are acting in good faith and have something valuable to contribute. By creating a space where different experiences and viewpoints can be heard, I help groups navigate tension, build understanding, and move forward together.

Rather than providing answers, I support groups to explore their own challenges, surface the wisdom already present within the room, and develop solutions that are meaningful and sustainable for them.

I have had the privilege of facilitating in a wide range of settings, from international leadership gatherings for INGOs and strategy sessions for charities, to away days for theatre producers and hyper-local community groups. Across these diverse contexts, my focus remains the same: creating spaces where people can think together, have the conversations that matter, and take purposeful action.
