Coaching Sessions: What Will You Learn
Coaching sessions can be delivered as one-offs or as a structured one-to-one approach. Conflict coaching helps individuals develop skills to manage interpersonal conflict. Coaching is a confidential and voluntary service aimed at helping you develop the skills necessary to overcome barriers to agreement in mediation.
My coaching sessions cover the following topics
- negotiation skills
- decision-making skills
- active listening skills
- stress management methods for mediation sessions
- how to separate the person from the problem
- how to focus on fair outcomes
- how to develop options for win-win outcomes
- how to identify and use objective criteria during mediation
Anyone can learn these skills. You will determine your learning goals based on your own needs.
Clients who receive coaching support during mediation reach agreements more often and experience less stress.

My coaching sessions are composed of various elements such as presentations, discussions, case studies, and exercises.

Ethical Coaching
As your mediator, I must remain impartial and treat all participants equally. Therefore, I cannot discuss your case with you during your coaching sessions.
My Mediation Coaching Approach
My coaching approach aims to separate clients from their problems and help them gain new perspectives on their lives and futures. This approach has been utilised in narrative mediation for families and workplaces. During my coaching work with clients, I follow the narrative conflict coaching guidelines established by Dr John Winslade.
I also use the method and techniques developed by Roger Fisher and William Ury.
The above methods have been recommended for family mediation in the English jurisdiction.
