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. We are the leading provider of mediation training, either training you to be an accredited mediator yourself, or getting mediation working for you 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, which we are proud to present here.

We have extensive experience with different mediation scenarios, from neighbourhood, commercial, 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:
Mediation in Higher Education

Friday 17th January, 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 40 minute talk, followed by your chance to ask questions.

University life can be a challenging time for many young people. Interpersonal conflicts between students, from low-level issues relating to their accommodation to more serious harassment cases, can often be resolved through mediation.

Over the last 20 years, we have worked with student welfare professionals, accommodation staff, and students’ unions to enable them to incorporate mediation into their practice, as well as providing an external mediation service for serious cases that require an experienced mediator.

Join our CEO & Founder, Dr Mike Talbot, for this engaging 45-minute presentation, followed by a Q&A.
