A fantastic approach that helps you unpack the issues, respond positively and find an effective solution that moves everyone forward...
This course will:
- deepen your understanding of why conflicts develop and escalate, the psychological factors involved and the cultural and contextual influences on our perceptions, experience and responses to conflict
- build your confidence and comfort around being in situations that involve conflict
- give you a range of skills and techniques that you can use with both individuals and groups, in therapy or the workplace – or with your friends and family – to resolve conflict constructively
It will also enable you to:
- help clients recognise conflict and understand their own responses to it
- help clients develop the skills to engage with conflict productively, so they are more likely to reach positive outcomes
- provide clients with a framework and structure for addressing conflict in a healthy way
- help clients become less fearful of conflict, so they don’t avoid it in ways that are unhelpful and to recognise the role of conflict in healthy relationships
- provide psychoeducation, explaining how barriers to needs can cause conflict and how this can be different in different cultural contexts
The course is interactive and experiential, with a focus on developing practical and transferable conflict resolution skills. It combines trainer input, discussion, small group activities and role-play to build your confidence when helping to resolve conflict at all levels, whether one-to-one or in organisations.
Why take this course
Conflict isn’t always destructive. Properly handled it can be creative and productive, leading to better outcomes and possibilities for all. Although conflict is a normal, ever-present possibility in our lives – between family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, and in our interactions with organisations – when it becomes entrenched it can cause immense individual distress, and waste time and money.
Addressing interpersonal conflict using the psychological insights, concepts and proven techniques you will learn on the day, helps us to solve problems creatively and improve the health and wellbeing of those involved. To lead a healthy life we don’t need to avoid all conflict, but we do need to know how to approach it in ways which can help everyone involved meet their emotional needs, a win/win for all. Learning the human givens approach to conflict resolution helps to reduce the potential damaging consequences of destructive conflict and embrace the benefits of constructive conflict.
Throughout the day, Rupinder will draw on her own considerable practical experience of successful conflict resolution and mediation in a wide range of settings as she provides expert guidance and training in the psychological insights and skills you need to be able to constructively resolve conflict between individuals and/or groups.
Addressing conflict in the right way helps us solve problems and improves the health and wellbeing of everyone involved...

Energising day, full of content and excellent facilitation of subject matter. I have come away feeling that I will be able to use SO many of the strategies discussed. Particularly useful putting theory into practice.
Another informative and enjoyable course delivered by a knowledgeable and passionate tutor. Great facilitator and engaged the entire room. This course particularly could be useful to many professions and professionals.
Some immediately useful information, made very accessible by clear, human, well-delivered training. Very inclusive too, which I appreciated!
Fantastic. Everyone should do. Tutor amazing.
Course was excellent. Presenter highly experienced and skilled. Great balance of theory and practical. Lots of opportunities to share experiences and network. Particularly useful were the structures for supporting conflict resolution, and presenter’s own extensive knowledge and experience.
Really useful, enjoyably and full of insight. Trainer excellent, with great personal / professional experience.
Stunning course! Excellent skills, great communication. Our teacher / facilitator was excellent. Put our needs first, listen and then acted. Amazing.
Really valuable to hear Rupinder’s deep experience and knowledge in the field of conflict resolution and how HG model can be utilised in practice. Also very useful to go through role play of case.
Brilliant course with lots of information. Great facilitator and immensely interesting content. Very interactive and useful experience.
Very interesting introduction with lots of participation, exercises and interaction. Great facilitation and good course notes. It felt a little rushed at the end and it would be good to have had some more time on strategies, perhaps in a Part II?
Especially helpful to have had practical participation.
Overall well presented and content was comprehensive. Good tutor.
Rupinder was a fantastic tutor, very supportive, understanding and knowledgeable. The content and exercises on the course were clear and concise. I do think that this course may be better delivered over 2 days due to the amount of content and time for the exercises to be done fully.
A brilliantly presented course which offers really practical tools to help deal with conflict, underpinned by a deep understanding of the real psychological factors affecting any conflict.
What a fantastic day! A very deep dive into managing conflict and moving to a place of resolution.
I thought it was very constructive and well structured. A lot of clarity and understanding brought to ‘conflict’ as well as an increased awareness. Rupinder is very experienced and engages the audience well, with a natural, easy manner.
Everyone without exception encounters conflict in their lifetimes. This trauma can be deep-rooted and colour who we are as humans. The course has enabled a better understanding.
The day offered powerful insights into the psychological processes involved in conflict and ways to resolve disagreements. The material was clearly presented in a relaxed and accessible style.
An insight into both conflict resolution, people’s reactions to conflicts and our ways of dealing with them. I loved the way we were made to think about the meaning of the central concepts at the start of the course.
An interesting extension to the HG modality in understanding what conflicts are, how they arise and how to work towards resolution through working with each disputants needs and more. Rupinder delivers from a place of real expertise of people and process.
