Mediator & Conflict Management Coach





 


Consultation

You may be unsure about what mediation involves.  Blathnaidh is happy to offer a short consultation to explain the process of mediation.  If you decide that mediation is right for you and the other person or parties in the dispute, she will outline her fee schedule and arrange for further meetings.


 


How Mediation Meetings Work

When people have agreed to come to mediation, they will sign an 'Agreement to Mediate'. Blathnaidh will then hold a private meeting either online or in person with each party who is involved in the dispute.  Joint meetings will follow, if that is agreed.  If a resolution is found, an agreement will be signed by both or all parties and the mediation will be closed.

About me

There are certain people that life chooses for you, your neighbours, your colleagues even your family members. When you run into conflict with those people, you can feel stuck. You can feel overwhelmed, confused, angry, sad and unable to think straight. This is not unusual. It is hard to be objective, unemotional and to find a way forward when there is disagreement that you cannot walk away from.  

Peaceful co-existence, better conversations, improved and repaired relationships can happen though!   Blathnaidh can help you manage those difficult conversations, to understand the emotions which surface and to step outside conflict and see it from a new perspective.  It is possible to reach a new understanding of both yourself and those you disagree with you. 

Blathnaidh is accredited by the Mii and bound by the Code of Ethics and the Mediation Act (2017). She is also a qualified Conflict Management Coach and a member of the Elder Mediation International Network. Further details may be found on LinkedIn.
