Conflict is normal, inevitable, and sometimes hard to deal with. We know exactly how to resolve it through mediation.

Disputes happen. Mostly, we can sort things out by talking, listening, compromising and collaborating. When we get stuck in our disputes, though, that is when conflict can get stressful, costly, and distracting.

This is where UK Mediation comes in as the leading provider of mediation training. We can either train you to be an accredited mediator as an individual, or by training a group within your organisation. We also provide external mediation services, helping to resolve conflict quickly, privately and without the need for formal action.

Our founder and CEO, Dr. Mike Talbot, is a renowned mediator, trainer, psychotherapist, author, and consultant. Along with a great team at UK Mediation, Mike has developed a market-leading range of training courses and conflict resolution services.

We have extensive experience with different mediation scenarios, including neighbourhood, tenancy, family relationship, and workplace mediation. Let us show you how to take away the stress, expense, and distraction of having to deal with unresolved conflict.

“Advancing mediation practice by going deeper.”

When I started UK Mediation back in 1999, the last thing I wanted to do was to replicate what everyone else was doing. Having been a psychotherapist for quite a while, I thought, ‘Well, why not take what I already know about the underlying causes of conflict, and start resolving it from the inside out?’ So now I’ve got arguably the biggest and most successful mediation company around, and the idea seems to have worked!

The thing is that we struggle to negotiate our way through conflict because we’re so angry, afraid, hurt, or impatient that we find it hard not to let emotion get in the way of reason. Communication breaks down, and we get so wrapped up in an interpersonal struggle that we can scarcely remember how the argument got started in the first place. By understanding these conflict processes far better, we can start to resolve all sorts of disputes much more effectively.

NEXT WEBINAR:
Workplace Bullying

Friday 20th March, 12pm

Our free monthly webinars are the easiest way to see what we have to offer. Each month, we take a different subject from the world of mediation and present a 45 minute talk, followed by your chance to ask questions.

Over the last 20 years, UK Mediation witnessed first hand how instances of workplace bullying can deteriorate and result in costly and time-consuming outcomes, such as disciplinary action and employment tribunals; but also how mediation can provide an effective, low-cost and private means of alternative resolution.

Drawing on his background in psychotherapy and 20 years mediating workplace conflicts, our CEO & Founder, Dr Mike Talbot, will present an in-depth yet accessible 45-minute talk, followed by a Q&A.
