“We never expected to achieve so much in just three hours. You ask the right questions and are not afraid to address difficult topics, yet you create space for understanding. I was really dreading this session, but I feel relieved about how it turned out.”
A Hospital Board and a Medical Department
“Looking back, we realize we spent far too long trying to resolve this ourselves. Your practical approach and understanding of our specific context helped us reach a resolution surprisingly quickly.”

“I noticed how well you facilitated the discussion, creating a constructive and safe atmosphere. It’s clear that you have a lot of experience working with our type of group.”
“You are direct but also allow space and provide structure. Many important topics were covered, and your time management was excellent.”
“I found the session valuable. There was an open atmosphere, and we discussed things we normally overlook in the rush of daily work—yet they turned out to be highly relevant. It gave me insight into why my colleagues behave the way they do. You asked the right questions, structured the session well, but still let us do most of the talking. On a personal level, I felt you gave me the space to better understand myself, and we grew closer as a team.”
Parent After Mediation With Other Parents and the School Principal
“I’m amazed that we managed to resolve everything in just one session. That was thanks to your calm presence and attention to everyone’s perspective and emotions. And I apologize for getting so emotional—it’s just tough when your child isn’t doing well.”
Medical Partnership Member After Reaching a Dissolution Agreement
“In our previous session, you provided a safe space that allowed us to be open and honest with each other—to finally say what had been left unsaid for far too long. That made it clear that dissolving the partnership was the best decision for both of us. The fact that we, with our advisors, managed to finalize everything in a single morning is a huge relief. Thank you!”
Partner at a Law Firm
“Thank you for the way you led yesterday’s session. Your approach was more focused on connection, which made it impossible for us not to also say some positive things about each other. That was actually a very good thing.”
Director and Majority Shareholder
“For our boardroom conflict, we chose Gabrielle Vergroesen because she combines professionalism and expertise with a personal approach that shows genuine interest and understanding of the issues at hand.”
HR Manager
“Thank you so much for your help. This was a difficult case, and without your support, I don’t think we would have been able to reach a resolution. Too much had happened between the parties.”
HR Manager at a Multinational
“We were dealing with an employee who had gone on sick leave due to a workplace conflict. Gabrielle Vergroesen took a short and effective approach, making the available options clear to all involved. This restored peace both for the employee and the department, allowing us to focus again on our core business. We found her involvement both professional and pleasant, and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again if needed.”
Physiotherapist
“After a seemingly endless legal battle over my abrupt dismissal, the last judge I faced pointed out the benefits of mediation. It turned out that both parties had something to gain that no court ruling could provide. With Gabrielle’s help—she is a truly professional and approachable mediator—I found myself shaking hands with the other party after just three sessions. The case was discussed and settled. They got a manageable payment plan to avoid bankruptcy, and I was released from my non-compete clause, allowing me to treat my patients again—some of whom had been waiting 18 months for this conflict to be resolved. Thanks to Gabrielle, we found a satisfying solution for all parties. I highly recommend her!”
Hospital Care Manager
“As a hospital, we chose Vergroesen Mediation for a workplace conflict because Gabrielle Vergroesen combines mediation expertise with legal knowledge. She communicates clearly with all parties while remaining impartial, and she holds everyone accountable where necessary. Looking back, I am very satisfied with how Gabrielle handled the mediation process.”
“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.”
