Mediation
When a conflict has reached an impasse, it can be difficult to keep listening to one another. Mediation gives everyone involved the space to share their perspective and be heard.
I guide the conversation as an independent mediator, giving equal consideration to everyone involved. The aim is to develop solutions together that everyone can live with.
My approach to mediation
- I ensure that everyone involved is treated with appreciation and respect.
- It matters to me that everyone has a chance to speak and that their perspective is heard.
- Everything discussed is treated confidentially.
- I am independent, give equal consideration to all sides and support everyone equally.
- The people involved develop their own solutions. I do not decide which solution is right.
- Anyone involved may end the process at any time.
How mediation works
We clarify the framework.
First, we discuss what the conflict is about, who is involved and what you hope to achieve through mediation.
Everyone has a chance to speak.
Each person shares their perspective. Together, we explore what lies behind the different positions.
We look for solutions.
As concerns and needs become clearer, new possibilities can emerge.
You decide what works for you.
Those involved decide for themselves whether to reach agreements and what those agreements should be.

A conflict is often about more than what is said or demanded. Behind it lie different wishes, concerns and needs. Understanding these better can be a first step towards talking to one another again.
Let’s talk.
Together, we can work out which support suits your needs.
