My Approach
Resolve Conflict. Strengthen Relationships. Move Forward.
If you’re navigating conflict in a business or personal setting, I’m here to help. I work with founders, business partners, and teams to prevent and resolve disputes that threaten productivity and trust — and with individuals facing emotionally charged personal challenges, from family tension to work related conflict.
As a CEDR-accredited mediator, conflict consultant, and conflict coach, I bring a calm, structured and strategic approach to even the most complex disputes.
How I can Help
Mediation for business partners and teams – particularly founders and small businesses navigating interpersonal or structural conflict
Conflict consulting for organisations – uncovering root causes, improving communication, and building long-term resilience
1:1 conflict coaching – tailored support for personal disputes (including family, workplace or post-separation issues)
Whether you need help addressing a difficult conversation, navigating a high-stakes disagreement, or designing preventative systems for your team, I offer structured, empathetic support and services rooted in years of experience and professional training.
As a conflict resolution expert, I help small business founders across the UK — especially those in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, and the East of England — navigate everyday workplace conflict before it escalates. Whether you’re dealing with a co-founder dispute, family tensions in a business setting, or team misalignment, my role is to help you restore clarity, trust, and direction. Conflict can be destabilising but my aim is to funnel it into creating firmer foundations for the future.

How I Resolve Conflict
My approach to conflict resolution is holistic. I create a space where each person involved feels safe enough to express their thoughts, needs, and emotions openly. That’s the foundation for effective, respectful communication.
We go beneath the surface — behind the words, positions, and frustration — to understand what’s really going on. Often, conflict isn’t just about strategy or money. It’s about values, identity, and the way we connect (or fail to connect) with others.
Conflict, handled well, can be a turning point. It can unlock insight, fuel growth, and strengthen your relationships and your business.
We all fight. We all miscommunicate. But that doesn’t mean relationships must break down. Together, we can find lasting solutions that help your business thrive.
My Journey
I began my career as an English-qualified solicitor, working for over 15 years in high-stakes legal environments, from in-house insurance work in global conglomerates to transportation and logistics law and insurance at the United Nations World Food Programme. Whether multi-million-dollar disputes or negotiating settlements, I was drawn to the human side of conflict — the tension, the emotion, the opportunity for transformation.
In 2019, I completed a Master’s degree in Conflict Prevention and Dispute Resolution at the University of Westminster, graduating with distinction. I followed that with CEDR accreditation as a professional mediator. I’ve worked with founders, family businesses, startups, and cross-functional teams across the UK.
I’ve seen how poor communication and unresolved disputes quietly unravel businesses. And I’ve seen how the right support at the right time can turn things around.
