Anna Vollans

I have extensive experience in the resolution of interpersonal disputes, often in high-conflict situations.  I am an accredited Family Mediator with the Family Mediation Council and member of the Family Mediators Association.  I am qualified to undertake Child Inclusive Mediation.  I have experience of mediating interpersonal disputes in various settings, including in the workplace.  I also regularly mediate Special Educational Needs needs disputes between parents, schools and the Local Authority.

I am qualified to act as a Professional Practice Consultant, which enables me to work with other mediators to support them to maintain professional standards and practice requirements.

I have a Masters in Conflict Resolution having studied theories and concepts about conflict, conflict analysis and a variety of mechanisms and processes for conflict management and resolution.  Studying alongside academics and practitioners has enriched my understanding of the causes, dynamics and consequences of conflict, something which is reflected in my practice as a Mediator and Conflict Coach.

I’m passionate about transforming people’s attitudes towards conflict and enjoy delivering training workshops on conflict which enable participants to reflect on their approach to conflict, how others experience them in conflict and develop skills to deal more effectively with conflict.

Prior to establishing Vollans Mediation in 2010 and focusing on my work as a Mediator and Conflict Coach, I practised as a Solicitor for a number of years.  

In my spare time I love being with my family and friends, reading and learning, avidly following Emmerdale and enjoying the great outdoors.
