Meet Alison Hill
Founder of 5 Degrees Mediation
I’ve worked in both corporate and therapeutic environments—spending 15 years at Universal Music, including 5 years as a Commercial Director, followed by 7 years as a private psychotherapist specialising in couple and family therapy. In both worlds, I witnessed how conflict—whether in boardrooms or living rooms—can deeply affect individuals, relationships, and outcomes.
Over the years, I developed a passion for helping people navigate and resolve conflict. I bring a unique skill set to mediation: a deep understanding of human psychology, paired with logical thinking, strategic insight, and creative problem-solving.
There’s a common misconception that court cases bring quick resolution. In reality, they are often lengthy, complex, and influenced by systematic bias. Mediation offers a more constructive alternative—faster, fairer, and focused on lasting solutions.
At 5 Degrees Mediation, we pride ourselves on a highly personalised and human approach. Our work is grounded in empathy, clarity, and a genuine desire to help clients move forward with confidence. We guide people through some of life’s most difficult moments with compassion, helping them reach sustainable agreements that truly stand the test of time.
