In 30 years as an NHS psychiatrist I've seen how disruptive and damaging interpersonal conflict can be- within families and the wider community, and in staff teams.  I now offer mediation and conflict resolution support both in the NHS and more widely in settings where I can be of help.  I bring experience of working in deprived local communities in the North East of England with awareness of peoples’ real lives.  I’m also well-prepared to mediate in senior leadership disputes, with wide experience of local and regional NHS research leadership both in the NHS and university setting.  I welcome opportunities to mediate across workplace, community and civil disputes, including group conflicts.  I offer both face to face and online mediation.
