Meet Lisanne

Lisanne is a highly qualified coach and mediator who specialises in family and workplace mediation.

She is known for her patient and constructive approach, providing a safe and respectful space for each client and their unique set of circumstances.

 Lisanne is welcoming and down to earth, strongly believing that the key to successful mediation is about empowerment. She works on developing her clients skills base so that they can take responsibility for resolving conflict and avoiding ongoing issues. This enables them to forge ahead with peace of mind knowing they are creating workable, sustainable, and future proof solutions.

 With over a decade of experience in conflict resolution, negotiation and mediation she has assisted thousands of clients through the mediation process, transforming many lives in the process.  

 She has coached and developed students of law, lawyers, HR consultants, accountants, and other professionals to become competent in negotiation and conflict resolution skills and techniques.

Lisanne holds lecturing positions at Murdoch University and the College of Law and has provided workshops for Edith Cowan University.

“There is a lot of unnecessary suffering when it comes to conflict resolution and my mission is to reduce that; why suffer when you can learn the skills to negotiate any situation so that all parties come out on top? I am passionate about empowering people to achieve results they never thought were possible.”
