Accredited Mediator by Regent University, 2018
Professional Experience
Style & Approach
The most important ingredient is careful and dispassionate listening, keeping my personal views in the background. Making sure I have heard what the party has to say (by checking), and being very careful to maintain impartiality and confidence. I provide space and engage with an open mind, calmness and empathy, not sympathy. I ask questions which can help unblock a fixed stance. The parties arrive at their solution, while I act as a catalyst. In my professional life I have acquired an eye for detail.
Client feedback
I was a tutor at Regents University and can confirm that he demonstrated his understanding and practice of mediation through his contribution to plenary and other course discussions and through his performance in sixteen role-played mediations. Since then, he had shown commitment to further enhancing his understanding and skills and to keep his practice fresh. This included attending an intensive two-day course in Guernsey where he performed well. He was very engaged in all aspects of the course and performed well in mediation stimulations. He is a very thorough, thoughtful and questioning individual who will commit himself to the mediation work. (Monica Hanaway)
He is respectful and sensitive, and his natural manner is calm (Diana Mitchell).
