About Joël Ginies

After years working across technology and digital projects, I found myself at a crossroads. A career change forced me to stop and ask a question I had never properly asked before: what am I actually built for?

I took a personality assessment. The result surprised me. Where I had once been driven by exploration and problem-solving in the technical sense, something had shifted. The profile that came back was Mediator.

I looked into what that meant as a profession. The more I read, the more it felt right. Not because I had always been comfortable with conflict. I had not. My instinct, like most people's, was to sidestep it. But I had always been able to stay calm inside it, to listen without reacting, to see both sides of an argument even when I did not want to.

Mediation gave that instinct a shape and a purpose.

I trained with the Award in International Mediation, completing the AIM Level 4 Award in Mediation, regulated by Ofqual, in July 2026. I am based in Cheshire and work with individuals, neighbours, and organisations across the North West.

My approach is straightforward. I do not take sides. I do not tell people what to do. I create the conditions for a proper conversation, and I let the people in the room find their own way through.

If you are dealing with a dispute that feels stuck, I would be glad to have an initial conversation.
