Mediation that cuts through conflict and gets to what matters
Settled is an independent mediation practice providing dispute resolution and conflict management services for families and workplaces. Our approach is firm, neutral and process-driven, with a focus on reaching agreements that hold rather than decisions made under pressure.
The people behind Settled
Every client is supported directly by someone who has spent years working in environments where the stakes are high, consequences are real and composure is non-negotiable. Settled is led by our founder, Elle Phelan, a qualified social worker, mediator and accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner.
How we approach conflict
Every matter follows a structured approach designed to reduce uncertainty and keep conversations moving. We begin with individual sessions to understand each perspective before moving into facilitated joint discussions with clear direction and firm boundaries. Each stage is designed so that you always know what is happening and what comes next.
What drives us
Settled was founded on the belief that people navigating conflict deserve a clear, structured way through it. Too often, the systems designed to help people in conflict compound the pressure they are already under. This practice exists to offer something different.
