Conflict Coaching & Mediation
STRENGTHENING SELF-WORTH | MINDFULNESS | CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION
As humans we are sensitive and fragile, powerful and resilient. We long for deep connection and for the space to freely develop ourselves.
For many of us it is a life theme to (re)establish this fine balance so that we can feel safe, protected and fulfilled in ourselves and with each other. “Our conflicts created much needed closeness.“
My conviction
Often, conflicts reveal where we've lost our balance. Conflicts point to what needs to be resolved, both internally and interpersonally, so that we can feel safe and secure within ourselves and with others again. I see conflict as an opportunity to transform entrenched patterns, behaviors, and reactions that no longer serve us, both in ourselves and in our relationships.
On your own, it is often difficult to understand and see through the many dimensions of feelings, assumptions, interpretations and needs that arise in a conflict and to address them constructively, i.e. in a way that values both the individual and the relationship.In my conflict coaching and mediation, I incorporate my experience in neighborhood and family mediation, mindfulness, and the connection between attachment trauma and conflict to help individuals, couples, friends, and families achieve greater (self-)connection, collaboration and creativity. Key to healthy, loving and secure relationships is that you appreciate yourself in all of your nuances and sensitivity. I gladly support you in building that foundation in my 1:1 coaching as much as in couples and group mediation. Services

Why Conflict Transformation?
When it comes to conflict resolution, we often think in terms of: "How can we end something we don't want?" As a further step, conflict transformation asks the question: "How can we end something that is destructive and create something we want?"

How does Mediation resolve conflicts?
Mediation builds bridges between parties in conflict and opens up the necessary space that to resolve gridlock situations between them and within individuals.

What does attachment have to do with conflict?
Our perception of the world, and therefore also of the people in our lives, is largely shaped by our earliest life experiences and relationships. What we experience in this phase still determines our self-worth, the way we relate to others, and how we deal with internal and external conflicts.
"I want to support you in understanding and loving yourself in all your nuances, in using conflicts for your development and in living relationships that are good for you."
