Workplace conflict is inevitable, but when managed effectively, it can lead to stronger relationships, better communication, and improved teamwork.

I provide accredited mediation services and professional support with conflict management to help organisations address disputes constructively.

Key aspects of my service include:

  • Neutral and Impartial Mediation
    Acting as an independent mediator, I facilitate open and respectful discussions between parties, helping to uncover the root causes of conflict and find mutually acceptable solutions.
  • Resolving Disputes
    Supporting teams and individuals in resolving a wide range of workplace conflicts, from interpersonal misunderstandings to disputes over roles, responsibilities, or working conditions.
  • Restoring Relationships
    Focusing on rebuilding trust and collaboration between parties to develop better long-term working relationships and productivity within teams.
  • Conflict Prevention Strategies
    Helping organisations identify potential sources of conflict early and implement strategies to minimise disputes.
  • Training and Empowerment
    Equipping leaders and employees with the skills and tools to handle conflicts constructively.

With my mediation and conflict management expertise, I help organisations navigate challenging situations, protect workplace morale, and maintain a positive and productive work environment

Testimonials

“…I would unreservedly recommend Hannah for any element of HR activity where sensible, pragmatic, legally sound advice is needed. As a manager you don’t always have to take advice given, the biggest compliment I can give Hannah is I would struggle to recount an experience when I haven’t followed the advice she has provided to me”
