I work with individuals, couples, families, communities & organisations to navigate conflict.

We generally start with one to one sessions to help each person process what has happened and connect with more of what’s going on inside themselves. There is an invitation to go deeper than the surface level if you feel open to that, including more of our inner wisdom (somatics). Or you might choose to stay focused on preparing for a conversation.

When we move into dialogue, I am there to hold space, to give some structure, to support each person to be heard, and bring some extra capacity as a person with care for all involved. In this space the conflict that is already in the relationship can be seen more clearly, what has been under the surface can be expressed, and ways forward can open up.

“I was so impressed and grateful for how much we were able to shift in 2 hours with your perspective and guidance! There is more work to be done, but conversations are now a lot more possible, which is brilliant.” – Mediation Client, 2025

Being in conflict can feel really painful, complex and overwhelming. Often there is not much capacity to process all the impacts, repair harm and restore trust. Without support, things can escalate, or dialogue can break down completely.

Some of us want to avoid conflict and return to some sense of peace as quickly as possible. Others of us want to have the fight and have a chance to defend ourselves and see others punished. Often there is not enough trust or capacity between those involved to find a way through.

At the same time, conflict is also an opportunity for deeper self connection and better relationships. If we can face what is coming up, get curious about why the strong feelings are there, and risk sharing what’s happening with each other, life can really open up. There can be a closer connection, more understanding, more trust and new possibilities.

I have seen the transformation that is possible both in individuals and in relationships when we are able to ‘sit in the fire’ together. It takes curiosity, compassion and courage to say what needs to be said, hear what needs to be heard, feel what needs to be felt, and be open to new possibilities.

I bring in different approaches depending on the context and people involved. My training and experience includes NVC Mediation, Restorative Circles, Restorative Justice, Conflict Coaching and Deep Democracy. I also bring in elements of Somatics, IFS and Emotional Release where people are open to that, similar to how I work with people one to one.
