Workplace Mediation
Ashleigh Schwarz is the Founder and Principal Consultant of Silverherd Consulting, a Perth-based consultancy specialising in workplace mediation. A Nationally Accredited Mediator (AMDRAS), Ashleigh brings over 20 years of HR experience to the mediation table.
Her mediations are structured and impartial, guided by the AMDRAS Code of Ethics, yet always grounded in humanity. By blending professional rigour with deep insight into people and behaviour, Ashleigh enables genuine reflection and meaningful discussion.
What sets Ashleigh apart is an ability to see what others often miss. Known for her calm authority and “human radar,” she reads the room with precision, often picking up unspoken dynamics. Ashleigh uses these insights impartially to lower emotional volatility and support participants in feeling genuinely safe and heard.
Ashleigh also brings a neuroinclusive lens, recognising that neurodivergent behaviours are often unintentionally misinterpreted in workplace conflict. Ashleigh takes a considered, deliberately neuroinclusive approach to her practice and remains committed to strengthening it through research and reflective practice.
Silverherd’s focus: durable outcomes that allow work to move forward.
