Macarena Mata PhD Msc
Ataraxy is a vision born from the professional work I have done in the conflict resolution field since 2005. I work as an accredited mediator (family, workplace and community), facilitator and trainer, engaging with executives, academics, teams and community groups on mediation, conflict resolution and self-awareness, as well as with young people in schools.
I also work as a conflict coach helping people understand how to change their relationship to conflict and prepare for mediation processes.
I am a trained assessor in accredited mediation programmes and supervisor, and I have lectured on conflict theory and reflective practice at the PgCert and MSc courses at Birkbeck College, as well as supervised LLM students at the University of Hertfordshire.
Ataraxy is accredited with the Family Mediation Council and I am member of the College of Mediators, Family Mediators Association, Association for Conflict Resolution and Mediators Beyond Borders Int’l (MBBI). At MBBI I am a faculty member for the International Peace Training Institute, and co-lead the Colombia/Latin America project.
I was born in Málaga, Spain, and have lived in London for the last 21 years with my husband.
