Running a business together can be both rewarding and challenging — when communication breaks down or differences arise, it can feel like the future of your partnership is at stake.
You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Through supportive counselling, we’ll work together to improve communication, rebuild trust, and align your goals — ensuring your business thrives while preserving your partnership.
- How do we help?
- Improve Communication: Resolve misunderstandings and build a shared language for better decision-making.
- Strengthen Trust: Rebuild mutual respect and confidence in each other’s roles and intentions.
- Navigate Conflict: Manage disagreements constructively without harming the partnership.

Whether addressing relationship challenges or individual concerns, our starting point varies. Factors such as mental and physical health, addictions, conflicts, shifts in family dynamics, breakups, blended families, stress, financial and work-related issues, age, cultural influences, religious and spiritual beliefs, technology, social media, and timing can all play a role.
Are you struggling with these issues?
Business partners mediation can address a variety of diverse situations, including:
Conflict Resolution: Mediation helps resolve interpersonal conflicts between partners, such as personality clashes, misunderstandings, or unresolved disputes.
Financial Disputes: Partners often face disagreements over the allocation of funds, profit distribution, or financial responsibilities. Mediation can help negotiate a fair resolution.
Role and Responsibility Clarification: Mediation assists in defining and clarifying the roles and duties of each partner, ensuring that expectations are aligned and misunderstandings are avoided.
Strategic Direction: Partners may have differing visions for the future of the business. Mediation helps create a shared strategic plan that satisfies both parties’ long-term goals.
Ownership and Equity Issues: Disputes regarding ownership percentages, buyouts, or shares of the company can be settled through mediation to prevent damaging legal battles.
Succession Planning: When partners are planning for succession or retirement, mediation helps in negotiating smooth transitions and leadership changes without conflict.
Partnership Dissolution: If a business partnership must end, mediation can facilitate an amicable dissolution, ensuring that both parties leave with fair terms and the business’s interests protected.
Cultural and Diversity Conflicts: In diverse business teams, cultural or diversity-related differences may arise. Mediation helps partners understand each other’s perspectives and work through these challenges constructively.
Intellectual Property Disputes: Conflicts over intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, or proprietary processes, can be resolved through mediation to protect the business’s assets.
Work-Life Balance and Workload Discrepancies: Differences in commitment levels, work ethics, or work-life balance can lead to frustration. Mediation helps realign expectations and create balanced workload agreements.
Communication Breakdowns: When communication deteriorates between partners, mediation can help rebuild trust and open channels for more effective dialogue moving forward.
Third-Party Conflicts: Disputes involving external stakeholders, like investors or clients, can also be mediated when they affect the dynamics of the business partnership.
These diverse situations can be mediated to ensure that business partnerships stay strong, focused, and productive.

How I prepare for our session?
I stay informed by keeping up with the latest evidence-based research, technology, and trends in the field of Business Relationships, covering all ages, genders, and values.
Things you might know: Self-esteem and Business
Self-esteem dictates how I value and respect myself as a person which can impact every aspect of life and contribute to happiness and wellbeing.
How I feel about myself can impact my satisfaction with any aspect of my life. If I have good core self-esteem(not performance-based or other validated self esteem) and feel positive, it’s likely to contribute to a more satisfying and enjoyable work experience. On the other hand, if I struggle with self-esteem it might affect how comfortable and satisfied I feel in any situation.
Things you might know: Life Stressors and Business
When I evaluate environmental demand as beyond my ability to cope successfully, I may feel stressed. This may include elements of unpredictability, uncontrollability, and feeling overloaded. Life stressors will diminish when I learn how to manage adjustments to changes in life, both good and bad.
Life stressors, like family issues, or health concerns, can affect how satisfied I feel with my work. When I am dealing with a lot of stress, it might be harder to enjoy and feel content and productive. Stress can create challenges in feeling satisfied with my work endeavours. Taking steps to manage stress can positively impact my overall productivity and innovation.
More things you might know: Grief and Loss and Business
When I experience sadness or loss, it can affect how satisfied I feel with any part of my life. Grief might make it challenging to engage in any moments. Emotions from loss can create a barrier, making it harder to connect with any human being. Taking time to grieve and communicate with my family/business partner about my feelings can help me navigate these challenges and eventually contribute to improving my work satisfaction
Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering I feel when something or someone I love is taken away. The more major the loss the more intense the grief seems to be.
Grief can be expressed in many ways and it can affect every part of my life such as my emotions, thoughts and behaviours, beliefs, physical health, my sense of self and identity, and my relationship with others. Grief can leave me feeling sad, angry, anxious, shocked, regretful, relieved, overwhelmed, isolated, irritable or numb.
Info you might know: Trauma and Business
Trauma could be defined as a physical injury, a wound, a hurt, a defeat, or/and an unpleasant experience that causes abnormal stress.
Bessel van der Kolk, M.D. defines trauma as “not the story of something that happened back then, but the current imprint of that pain, horror, and fear living inside.” Such events may leave us stuck in a state of helplessness and terror, and it results in a change in how we see danger.
If something really bad or upsetting has happened to me, it can affect how happy I feel about my life. Trauma might make it difficult to enjoy any moments or feel comfortable in any situation.
On the positive side, having a good relationship with myself or my business partner can help heal the hurt from trauma. When I feel understood and accepted, I can actually make better decisions. Building a positive and supportive connection with myself or my business partner can be a way to heal and improve how I feel about anything.
