Bolton Family Mediation Services
Mediate UK's family mediation service in Bolton has been running since 2019, our first ever service in the North West of England. Meetings are held in the modern, recently refurbished spaces at Atria (Bruntwood) on Spa Road, opposite Queen's Park.
We're proud to have partnered with the legal advice clinic at Bolton University, where we've delivered talks on family law and how mediation works to law students. The venue is a comfortable, professional setting for MIAMs, joint mediation, and shuttle sessions, with free on-site parking and excellent transport links.
We've helped thousands of families nationwide move forward, and our team upholds the same level of care and professionalism that's earned us a 4.9-star rating on Reviews.co.uk from over 700 clients.
