Workplace & Community Mediation
​
Conflict at work rarely stays contained. Left alone, it spreads into stress, sick days, lost productivity and, too often, the resignation of someone you couldn't afford to lose.
​
I'm a UK Mediation accredited mediator. I help organisations resolve workplace disputes, and I also mediate neighbour and community disputes.
The aim is always the same: a fair, respectful, people-centred resolution that everyone can live with.
​
The cost of leaving conflict alone:
-
A quarter (25%) of UK employees — around 8 million people — have experienced conflict at work in the past year. (Source: CIPD Good Work Index, 2024)
-
The most common forms are being undermined or humiliated (48%), being shouted at or having a heated argument (35%), and verbal abuse or insults (34%). (Source: CIPD, 2024)
-
People who experience conflict at work are twice as likely to leave within the year — 33%, against 16% of those who haven't. (Source: CIPD, 2024)
-
Workplace conflict costs UK organisations an estimated £28.5 billion a year — over £1,000 per employee. (Source: Acas, 2021)
​
Why mediation, and why early:
-
Dealing with conflict through formal procedures costs more than three times as much as resolving it early and informally. (Source: Acas, 2021)
-
Organisations that bring in early resolution like mediation see a 20–25% drop in formal grievances. (Source: Acas)
-
70% of employers believe they have effective procedures for resolving conflict — yet only a third (36%) of employees who experienced it felt it was fully resolved. (Source: CIPD, 2024)

How it works with me:
A confidential first conversation · agreement on who takes part and the aim · a structured mediation session (or sessions) · a clear, agreed way forward.
