My background as a qualified solicitor, psychotherapist and corporate lawyer has given me a unique insight into the potential for mediation. After graduating in mediation from Harvard Law School, I became a coach and trainer for mediators. My three mediation books which contain strategies for conflict resolution are a result of my experiences and the techniques I have developed.
I do not believe that individuals themselves turn problems into conflicts. Rather, it is the social conventions and behavioural frameworks we operate in, which escalate problems to undesirable conflict levels.
By understanding and adapting these frameworks, it is possible to bring people together to cooperate and eliminate the fear which lies at the centre of all conflicts.
My methodology in mediation is to help individuals understand the need to adapt their behaviour in the conflict situation. This creates an environment where energies can be re-channelled positively into a healthy working relationship between parties. mediation should be an educative process and aim to develop a shared understanding of the conflict.
The strategies I have developed and the experience I have gained enable me to successfully mediate in both business and private life conflicts. I am fluent in English as well as Danish and enjoy working with an international client base. I respect the confidentiality of both parties at all times when working within a conflict mediation.
