Find a CAOS-Accredited Conflict Coach

All CAOS-Accredited Conflict Coaches will have attended our 5-day training course and then continue to review and improve their practice via attendance at the ongoing Support and Development sessions we provide for practitioners who have trained with us. 

The CAOS Model of Conflict Coaching was developed in 2008 and has been used effectively in a range of different areas of practice since its creation. At the time, Alan Sharland, now Director of CAOS Conflict Management was Director of a community mediation service in West London.

Together with colleagues he pioneered the development of Conflict Coaching in the UK, providing the first publicly available service in London in 2008 and established the first Conflict Coaching service in a UK university at Brunel University in 2011. 

Conflict coaching can be used in many different situations where an individual is experiencing an unresolved conflict, either on an ongoing basis in a range of situations or in a 'one-off' situation or relationship. Difficult situations such as:

• Workplace difficulties with a colleague, for example a sense of being bullied, or having been accused of bullying, as well as other interactions that are not effective at work.
• Family difficulties - for example with a partner, ex-partner, with a son/daughter or with a parent or relative, such as brother/sister or cousin. 
• Ongoing challenges such as a difficulty in particular situations that keeps arising, for example how to respond to a sense of someone being rude - do you over react and become abusive or violent, or do you 'freeze' and feel diminished for not having a response? Or something else? 
• Community difficulties - do you have a dispute with someone in your neighbourhood and find trying to resolve it is not working or that you are at risk of escalating the situation and so want to find a better way forward? 

All such situations and others can be assisted via Conflict Coaching. If you are looking for a CAOS-Accredited Conflict Coach in your area, please see the list below.
