Biography Letter

With my three qualifications in mediation, along with my training in conflict management coaching and my extensive years of dealing with the public, I hope to help you in your time of need for change. As the saying goes; ‘A problem shared, is a problem halved’.

Through mediation and my experience, I want to ease your part of the problem and help you to find resolve by taking you from feeling stuck and at stalemate, to open dialogue and the possibility of a positive future.

Biography Letter

I’ve arrived at mediation through my professional development. I specialized in the field of experiential education, focusing on group dynamics and developing social skills through interactions, by creating an environment around my clients in which I facilitate the process and let the participants make their choices. This essentially has the same approach as mediation. The underlying value of self-determination is of fundamental importance to me. My mission is to empower individuals, partnerships, organizations and communities to be able to make their own decisions with respect to each stakeholder.
I am open to all kinds of mediation with community, workplace, school, family and intercultural cases as my specialty.
