Working with Joe

Coaching and mediation at your pace.

I’m Joe Roberson, a coach and mediator. I work with people who want to work through a challenge in their life, or who are stuck in conflict with someone they care about.

My work is about reconnection — with yourself, and with others.

Slow down enough to hear what’s really going on underneath the story.

You might be here because:

  • you’re in the middle of a big change, and not quite sure which way is forward
  • you’re stuck in the same conflict with family, a partner, or colleagues
  • you’re in recovery, or undoing old ways of coping, and want grounded support
  • you’re carrying a lot of responsibility, and running low on yourself.

You take the wheel. I keep the space open. Messiness is welcome.

Needs-based coaching

Coaching is a space to uncover what’s true. We explore what you’re feeling and the needs underneath them.

Most of us learned to treat needs as problems — something to fix, hide, or be embarrassed by. I’ve come to see them differently: a need is life, alive in you. There’s a beauty in that, and a freedom — needs stop being a burden and start being a source of energy and direction.

For when you feel disconnected, from life or from yourself. How coaching can help →

Mediation

For when disconnection has hardened into conflict — couples, families, friends, teams.

Mediation is a calm, confidential space where everyone gets heard. I bring empathy and lived experience, and a respect for how complicated relationships actually are. Defensiveness eases. Repair becomes possible — with boundaries that support everyone.

Whether it’s one difficult conversation or something long-running, we go at a pace that feels safe. How mediation can help →

Hi, I’m Joe.

I live between Somerset, community spaces, and the road. Fifteen years of my own inner and relational work, recovery, and 350+ hours of NVC training come with me into how I support people.

I bring my own honesty, to open a space for yours.
