Testimonials
I have had the pleasure of co-mediating with Angela and I found her to be a mediator of great skill and intuition. She connects with people with sensitivity, warmth, humour and and exceptional active listening skills, giving people a safe place to reflect, then reconnect, and so allowing new paths and possibilities to emerge. I also found her very ethically driven, committed to reflective practice and CPD; highly thorough and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any individual, manager or organisation needing support in finding a constructive path through conflict.

I never comprehended the power and value of an external mediator until I worked with Angela. Her professionalism, her ability to build trust and her capacity to deal with the situation in a calm and professional manner really ensures parties get the right outcome from this process. Not only did we resolve an immediate dispute within our business but she also laid the foundation for improved communication and collaboration moving forward. Angela is also an absolute delight to work with and I would highly recommend her work.
