Mediation
I help people get unstuck by facilitating difficult conversations that repair and resolve disputes, before formal or legal procedures.
The way I mediate is facilitative and transformative.

-
Unresolved conflict in UK costs organisations an estimated £28.5 billion per year.
-
Where conflict spiralled into formal procedures, costs were more than 3 times the costs associated with informal resolution.
-
"In 2021, close to 10 million people experienced conflict at work. Of these, over half suffer stress, anxiety or depression as a result; just under 900,000 took time off work; nearly half a million resigned, and more than 300,000 employees were dismissed"

"Early intervention with conflict clearly saves time, money, and resources.
Not only are there economic benefits: people that relate well work well. Resolving conflict relationally, before it gets formal and procedural, is a great opportunity for professional growth and learning".

Testimonials
Eric, Director of Eco-system Growth
"I met Ben at a workshop where I was impressed with his keen perception, compassion, and capacity for articulating things clearly. He visited my team for two days in the New Forest. Ben came in and was open, and held a really cool space for an emergent process. He was keen to learn about the team and company dynamics that play out across a bunch of dimensions of our business. My team have developed a very particular language and culture around how we work. Ben was able to go into that deep place, without having to understand the complex technical details about our products. From there we were able to talk in a different way, in a way that we aren’t normally able to do on a daily basis."
Caspar Walsh, Founder & Creative Director, Rite To Freedom
"I've worked with Ben since 2014. His courageous commitment to his truth and healing was palpable from the very start of our journey together. Ben is a human being I trust and admire. His steady growth as a therapist and group facilitator has been a joy to witness and be part of. He naturally engenders openness and trust with the groups we work with, bringing a steady balance of vulnerability and strength to his facilitation. This is a rare gift. He collaborates generously with clarity and gentle power. As a mentor to Ben I have learnt much from him, about life and work and the long road to healing. He is a deeply valued colleague and friend and offers much inspiration and hope in these dark times. Ben is part of a new generation of facilitators and the world needs what he brings".
