What sits below the surface of a dispute

Before mediation begins, most people only see the visible part of a conflict.

Illustration of a conflict iceberg: arguments, raised voices, silence and blame appear above the water, while hurt, fear, unmet needs, different perspectives, past patterns and the wish to stay connected sit below it.

Arguments, raised voices, silence and blame are what people notice — and often what a court file records. They are rarely the whole story.

Underneath sit hurt that never healed, fear of losing something that matters, needs that were never heard, different backgrounds and values, patterns repeating from before, and, very often, a wish to keep a relationship intact.

Litigation decides the part above the water. Mediation makes room for the part below it, which is usually where a lasting agreement is found. Conflict itself is not the problem — it is a signal that something deeper needs attention.

How the process works

Each matter is different, but the journey is clear and carefully managed.

  1. Start with a confidential enquiry

    Share a brief outline so I can check suitability, availability and any conflict of interest.

  2. Meet and explore the issues

    We agree the format, prepare for the conversation and work through interests and possible options.

  3. Record what you agree

    When common ground is reached, the parties’ terms are captured clearly in a written settlement.

Engagement options

Private mediation

Parties appoint me directly. We agree on a mediation agreement, timelines and fee sharing before the first session. Settlements are recorded in a written agreement signed by the parties and may be presented to court for adoption where a suit exists.

Court-annexed mediation

Matters screened and referred by the court run under the Civil Procedure (Court-Annexed Mediation) Rules, 2022, with reporting back to the referring court within the prescribed timelines.

Fees

Fees depend on the nature and value of the dispute, the number of parties and the number of sessions required, and are normally shared equally between the parties. A written fee note is issued before the process begins. Talk to me for a quotation for your specific matter.

When mediation may not be suitable

Honesty at the outset saves everyone time.

  • Matters requiring a binding precedent or interpretation of law
  • Serious criminal conduct and matters excluded by statute
  • Cases where a party faces violence, coercion or cannot negotiate safely
  • Where a party genuinely refuses to participate — mediation is voluntary

Request a session

Choose a starting point that works for you

Your request is not a confirmed appointment. I will contact you to confirm the date, assess suitability and agree the fee with all relevant parties.

M-Pesa or bank transfer

Select your preferred method in the form. Secure payment instructions are shared directly after the scope and fee are agreed. Please do not send money before receiving a written fee note.
