Woking Family Mediation Services
Woking is where Mediate UK began its journey back in 2011. Our Woking mediation meetings are held at the peaceful St Columba's House, a Christian retreat centre. Known locally for its distinctive circular blue oratory, the building and its gardens create a discreet and supportive environment for resolving conflict.
Our team has built a longstanding relationship with the venue, using private rooms to deliver MIAMs, joint sessions, and shuttle mediation. The tranquil, calming setting is perfect for sensitive family conversations, with ample free parking on-site and disabled access available by arrangement.
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.
