Mediation Services

I am a level two mediator with an NQF level 7 qualification and extensive experience in dispute resolution which began 29 years ago at the Centre for Conflict Resolution, University of Cape Town. Perhaps it is my natural love of the in-between that makes me so comfortable in the space straddling opposing views; perhaps it is my excellent mentors; but probably a healthy combination of the two.

Adding my middle child, adaptive advantage, brings another layer of insight to my role as a mediator. A few decades later, I will argue that my consciously honed, intuition is the critical attribute and defining factor that sets me apart and affords me the ability to determine when to educate or challenge, when to encourage a different response; and when to offer compassion or affirmation and support. Timing is critical. My experience and intuition allows me to timeously identify the leverage points that assist parties to find solutions that are to everyone’s advantage.

These skills are also employed in other spheres of my work and present a major advantage when facilitating challenging conversations, grappling with strategic planning, or navigating organisational and personal transformation because there are always situations of conflict and tension that will benefit from the guidance of a skilled mediator.
