What is Conflict Coaching?

A simple guide to how Conflict Coaching works.

What Conflict Coaching Helps With

Conflict coaching can help you:

  • Understand what is driving the conflict

  • Clarify your goals and boundaries

  • Improve communication skills

  • Reduce stress and emotional reactivity

  • Prepare for meetings or mediation

  • Explore practical options for resolution

 

The focus is always on moving forward constructively.

How Conflict Coaching Works

Sessions are confidential and tailored to you. They may include:

  • Talking through the situation

  • Identifying patterns and triggers

  • Exploring different responses and strategies

  • Preparing scripts or approaches

  • Building confidence for next steps

 

There is no pressure to take a particular course of action.

What Conflict Coaching Is Not

Conflict coaching is not:

  • Therapy or counselling

  • Legal advice

  • A decision-making process

  • Mediation

 

It is a practical, supportive tool within Early Resolution.

Conflict Coaching as Early Resolution

Conflict coaching is often used:

  • Before mediation

  • When mediation is not yet suitable

  • Alongside workplace or organisational processes

 

It helps people feel more prepared and less stuck.

What Is Conflict Coaching?

A Clear, Plain-English Guide

Conflict Coaching is one-to-one support designed to help individuals manage conflict more effectively and confidently.

It focuses on helping you understand the situation, clarify your options, and prepare for next steps — without needing the other party to be involved.

Who Is Conflict Coaching For?

Conflict coaching is useful if you:

  • Feel overwhelmed or anxious about a dispute

  • Are unsure how to approach a difficult conversation

  • Want to prepare for mediation or negotiation

  • Are dealing with a workplace or professional conflict

  • Want support without formal proceedings

 

It is particularly helpful when communication feels difficult or emotionally charged.
