Our Clients
For obvious reasons, we do not name clients…
Rather than do this (and taking into account that the third party references come from the former clients who passed on our name in the first place!), it might be more useful to outline the range of difficulties we handle. Clients ask for help in a (greatly welcomed) wide variety of areas - business and interpersonal. Most often, only one side involved in the difficulty attends: We are not usually used as a mediation facility.
Projects on business matters have ranged from sorting out stalled negotiations on share allocation in a family business - to unjamming staffing deadlocks during the merger of two finance houses.
Interpersonal assignments have ranged from getting partners in relationships (as in any interaction) to recognise the need for both to have rights of self-determination - to handling “…difficult” parents, parents in–law or communities of origin.
Most clients have come in having already tried out conventional interventions and strategies: These clients were being forced into finding another class of solution. Others were looking for something more creative or “left field” as an extra option to fall back on – should the approaches they are currently using ultimately turn out to be ineffective.
Most have fed back the message on the lines of – “I would never have thought of looking at the situation in that way…and therefore would never have considered the approach that we finally used”.
