Mediation & Dispute Resolution Services
In my mediation sessions, I provide a neutral and confidential environment where parties can voice their concerns and work towards finding mutually-acceptable resolutions to the most sensitive of disputes. Specialising in healthcare and public law, employment and workplace issues, civil and commercial disputes, as well as community conflicts, I use a mediation process that promotes open communication and empowers participants to reach agreements that are fair and sustainable. Experienced in:
- Healthcare & Public Law Mediation
- Employment & Workplace Mediation
- Civil & Commercial Mediation
- Community Mediation
- Interpersonal Mediation
- Intergenerational / Elder mediation
What does mediation offer that is different from going to court/tribunal or other formal processes?
- A confidential and private process
- The agreement by parties of a mutually-acceptable outcome
- A neutral and impartial negotiation facilitator
- An earlier resolution than court may be able to offer
- A self-determined resolution
- Coaching in communication for successful negotiation
- Finding consensus and a way forward
- The psychological safety of dialogue space held by an experienced mediator
- A flexible, party-led process, involving private and joint meetings
- Space to restore trust and repair relationships if desired
- Avoiding court costs
- Avoiding or ending the distress and broken relationships of court or tribunal
- Parties are encouraged to invite their legal reps to the mediation to assist with settlement
The key tenets of mediation are:
- Confidential – nothing said in meetings may be disclosed by the mediator or parties to anyone else
- Impartially facilitated – the mediator is equally committed to the wellbeing of both/all parties
- Voluntary – starting and stopping the process is completely in the parties’ hands
- Self-determined – the mediator doesn’t arbitrate/advise but rather facilitates a negotiation process to help the parties agree mutually-acceptable outcomes.

What’s the difference between ‘Workplace Mediation/Facilitation’ and ‘Employment Mediation’?
Employment Mediation would normally be appropriate when the employment relationship is at an end and a dispute exists between the employee and the employer; whereas Workplace Mediation/Facilitation takes place when conflict has developed between two or more employees and the employment relationship is likely to continue. I can discuss this with you, and your legal representatives and/or HR team where appropriate, to work out the best approach. I was trained in Employment and Workplace Mediation by, and am a trainer for, CEDR. Find out more with the CEDR Guide to Workplace Mediation: CEDR’s Guide to Workplace Mediation 2021.pdf

- Where only one party is willing or able to mediate
- To work through the repercussions of a past conflict
- To build skills at constructively resolving a current conflict
- To prepare for a challenging conversation
- To understand our own conflict style – and learn new approaches
- Improving a significant relationship that is damaged by on-going conflict
- Strategically managing organisational change
- Before, during and/or after mediation
