I’m Vanessa Reed, a fully qualified coach and accredited mediator with over 30 years of professional experience. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of people — from employees and HR professionals to CEOs and community groups. Each client brings their own challenges and goals, and I pride myself on creating a safe, supportive, and constructive space to move forward.

As an Associate Member of the Civil Mediation Council (CMC), I’m part of the CMC’s Fixed Fee Mediation Scheme, which provides clear and affordable access to mediation. I’m highly trained in helping people resolve conflict, rebuild trust, and reach practical solutions without the need for lengthy or costly legal processes.

Alongside mediation, I also offer coaching. My coaching style blends mentoring with practical tools, giving clients the clarity, confidence, and strategies they need to make meaningful change. I offer flexible coaching packages — from three focused sessions to longer three-month programmes — and sessions can take place while walking in nature, in person, or online, depending on what feels right for you.

Having worked with individuals at every level — from staff members to senior leaders — I understand the pressures people face both personally and professionally. My clients often describe me as calm, approachable, and solution-focused. Whether I’m guiding someone through personal development or supporting an organisation in conflict resolution, I bring decades of insight and a genuine passion for helping people move forward.
