Cut through conflict. Get to what matters most.
Settled is an independent mediation practice in Perth that guides families and workplaces through complex conflict, so everyone involved can move forward with confidence.
Guiding you through difficult conversations toward practical solutions
Your situation doesn’t have to stay stuck in a predictable pattern. When unresolved conversations repeat, positions harden, and decisions get pushed out further.
Settled brings a defined mediation process to situations that have reached this point, giving everyone involved a clear path through the issue.
The Settled process
Every matter follows a structured approach. Settled begins with individual sessions to understand each perspective, then moves into facilitated joint discussions with clear direction and firm boundaries. Each stage is designed to keep your conversations productive, reduce uncertainty, and support decisions that hold.
We understand that sitting opposite from someone who you have conflict with, whether that’s your ex-partner, a colleague or a business partner, can feel awkward and uncomfortable. Our primary goal is making sure you both feel as comfortable as possible throughout the whole experience.
About the Director
Settled is led by Elle, a qualified Social Worker, mediator and Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner with more than a decade of experience supporting individuals and families through conflict, change and challenging life circumstances.
Throughout her career, Elle has worked alongside people during some of the most difficult periods of their lives. This experience has reinforced her belief that while conflict is often unavoidable, the way people communicate through conflict can have a lasting impact on relationships and outcomes.
Elle is passionate about helping people have the conversations they may have been avoiding. Whether working with separated parents, workplace colleagues or business partners, she brings a practical approach that focuses on improving understanding, rebuilding communication and addressing the issues sitting beneath the surface.
Elle focuses on a structured process that allows people to better understand one another’s perspectives and work towards solutions.
The Settled approach
Firm & Neutral Guide
We don’t take sides, but we don’t sit back either. Settled takes the lead of the entire process with a steady, neutral direction to keep difficult conversations moving toward workable agreements.
Clear Processes
Most conflict spirals because people don’t know what’s happening or what comes next. Settled brings structure and direction that cuts through confusion, lowers the temperature and gives everyone a predictable path forward.
High-Stakes Expertise
The Settled team has professional backgrounds in family violence, youth justice and high-stakes disputes. That means our mediators are experienced at staying composed where others can't, and keep the process focused when the pressure is highest.
