Hello, My name is Sharon Morrissey.

I am here to support you in determining your outcomes for conflicts you may be experiencing in the workplace, family, or within yourself.

I am a mediator; my life and work have brought me here—with you now.

Communication, mediation, and conflict management are my passions.

I am a mom, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a sibling, a colleague, and a business owner. I have experienced relationship breakdowns in all areas of my life and have experienced first-hand where and how mediation can make changes.

I refer to mediation as "game-changing and life-saving." I use mediation every day to support the outcomes I wish to achieve.

I am privileged to say that I am blessed to work with people who WANT self-determining outcomes.

Our service has a success rate (for self-determining outcomes) of 93%

Sharon Morrissey has 25 + years of experience working with children, families, businesses and individuals experiencing conflict.

The mediation service I provide supports individuals in a minimum of a "working" relationship with each other if necessary, e.g., co-parenting, familial relationships, and workplace relationships. In my view, all conflicts need to be discussed in various systems to support long-lasting and sustainable outcomes.

At times, having a relationship with the other person is unnecessary, and depending on the relationship, that can be a relief or a grief. Every person who attends mediation with me works in a bespoke and confidential manner. As there are no two kinds of businesses, there are no two kinds of people. Each person is treated with compassion, care, and respect. They are supported to work at a pace and process that suits them, as the grief and pain of losing relationships (even if the relationship is complex) can hurt. There can also be tremendous guilt for being delighted to leave the relationship.

What is Mediation

Mediation is a process whereby an independent, neutral and impartial third party facilitates people experiencing conflict to find self-determining outcomes to their issues. Mediation is a voluntary process, which means whoever attends mediation will attend because it is their choice to do so.

Mediation is a confidential process (*with exceptions)

PODCAST and BLOGS

Sharon Morrissey Mediation Services has a podcast.

Hello and welcome to this space where we will learn what mediation is, how it supports people with all kinds of life issues, and have some craic along the way. (Mostly, me making fun of myself!)
It is also my hope that people who have experienced mediation and these do not always have to be good stories, will join me in explaining what worked and what didn't.
I would love this to be an honest space where we learn together and share experiences, confidentially and respectfully.
Mediation is a passion for me and I am blessed to do what I love, and thankful to the people who trust me.

Reviews and Media.

"When one looks at the work Morrissey is doing as a practitioner in the family breakdown sector, it is clear that this book is a weapon designed from her experience. A weapon that she hopes will help jolt those who come in contact with the industry into an appropriate choice of forum for resolving their dispute. This forum would best place the needs of affected children at the center of any necessary conversation. If introduced to a separating family, this book could do more for that family than the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Powerful.” (Paul Pierse, Solicitor with LAB, Cork)

There are no words to describe the incredible professional Sharon is. I had the opportunity to be, in the first moment, her student, and to acquire deep knowledge about Mediation and, in the second moment, to work directly under her guidance. Sharon has a unique way of understanding people's feelings and expressing them accurately. Her technique for managing conflicts and cutting lasting agreements is really remarkable. I am happy to have the opportunity to study and work with her.
