About us

Who are UK Mediation?

Founded in 1999 by Dr Mike Talbot, UK Mediation has come to be recognised as the pioneering thought leader in mediation and mediation training.

Based in the United Kingdom and operating all over the world, UK Mediation uses only the most experienced mediators and adult educators: resolving disputes for people or training them how to do it for themselves. Our particular areas of expertise are workplace mediation and neighbourhood mediation, and we’ve worked with hundreds of businesses and trained thousands of individuals, either on one of our market-leading public courses, or in-house at your location.

We are mediation specialists.

We understand how and why mediation works, we are experts in training and qualifying mediators, and we are passionate about what we do.

Why choose UK Mediation?

Trained to excel

All of our mediators have received the highest level of training, both in mediation and in adult education. Who better to train you than a mediator trained in education? Not only that but between them our mediators have trained in law, HR, psychotherapy, and psychology.

Experience counts

We have been around since 1999, and over that time we have had plenty of opportunity to find the best way to resolve disputes. Also all of our mediators have been mediators for years and have worked on dozens of workplace mediation cases, meaning you can always be sure that you will receive a pair of steady hands.

Aftercare

Whether you train with us or engage our services, we don’t wash our hands of you when we are done. We have an aftercare system in place to check up on you and see how things are going, offer free events to our graduates as well as continued support.
