One of the unique offerings here at UK Mediation is having our origins in psychotherapy. During the 1990s, Dr Mike Talbot, our founder, was engaged in academic research and private psychotherapy work, while also working in management in both the NHS and in the private sector. Applying this knowledge in the field of mediation has given us an unrivalled set of insights: thoroughly understanding the people who are in conflict as a means to supporting them to resolve that conflict.
