Experienced online mediator
In 2015, after becoming accredited as a mediator in 2014, I did an intensive course on how to mediate via video and telephone. This training and practical experience meant that when the pandemic started, I was ready to offer my services and did 60 mediations online/on the telephone in 2020. Within a month of the first lockdown, I trained over 200 mediators how to use Zoom. Since then, I have trained voluntary groups, community mediators and individuals to ensure that mediation is available despite coronavirus. At the National Mediation Awards in September 2020, I was honoured and delighted to be awarded the Mediator Trainer Award for 2020.
Clients are often extremely anxious, especially if they have never used technology before. I do whatever is needed to ensure that they are able to focus on the issues rather than the platform.
Online mediation means that mediation is affordable and accessible to many people who would not have otherwise had the chance to resolve their disputes. And geography is not an issue--a workplace mediation in Lithuania reached resolution with participants in two different locations and me in my office in Durham.
