Clarity in conflict
Trauma-informed mediation for educational institutions and mission-led organisations led by Rebecca Lockwood, lawyer, accredited mediator, and educator with experience across five jurisdictions.
A skilled mediator with the experience to guide you through.
Some disputes require more than procedural competence. They involve people who are vulnerable, institutions with duty of care obligations, and dynamics that a standard mediation process can inadvertently make worse.
Lockwood Mediation is built for exactly that complexity. Rebecca Lockwood is an AMDRAS accredited mediator, lawyer, and educator who specialises in trauma-informed conflict resolution for educational institutions and mission-led organisations. She brings legal rigour, genuine cross-cultural competence, and experience of institutional dynamics to every mediation.
As one of a small number of practitioners who both teaches trauma-informed practice and applies it directly in mediation, she brings something most mediators cannot: fluency in the framework, not just familiarity with it.
The process is professional, confidential, and designed to reach real resolution with sensitivity throughout.
Built for organisations where the stakes are human.
Lockwood Mediation works primarily with:
Educational institutions — universities, schools, early childhood centres, TAFEs, and governing bodies navigating disputes involving students, staff, leadership, and committees
Mission-led organisations — NGOs, nonprofits, community organisations, and public sector bodies where conflict sits alongside values, duty of care, and community trust
Individuals and businesses — civil, commercial, workplace, and community disputes across a broad range of contexts dealing with particularly sensitive matters
