Mediation Matters
Wandsworth Mediation Service*
A leading mediation charity based in South West London, that has been supporting constructive conflict resolution through community engagement for 20+ years.
For anyone exploring mediation, I recommend WMS. I’ve had the pleasure of serving as trustee and director for many years, and I’ve seen first-hand how their volunteer mediators make a real difference in the community.

What is Mediation?
Mediation is a confidential and voluntary process where a neutral third party helps people in conflict communicate and find practical solutions.
It focuses on dialogue and compromise, rather than blame, often preserving relationships and avoiding the cost and stress of court proceedings.
Building Skills for the Next Generation
WMS is pioneering training for children and young people, giving them the tools to resolve disputes constructively in schools and classrooms. This forward-looking work is gaining real momentum, alongside the charity’s established mediation services.

My Role in Mediation
1. Trustee and Director
As a trustee and director of WMS, I help guide its strategy and ensure strong governance, so the charity can deliver on its mission of providing accessible mediation.
2. Pro Bono Legal Advisor
I help the charity navigate legal issues that arise in day-to-day operations, including policies, procedures, and regulatory responsibilities.
3. Community Commitment
My work reflects a personal commitment to making mediation and dispute resolution coaching more widely available — supporting fair and constructive ways of finding pathways to peace.
Giving Back Through Voluntary Work
Running my own practice is not only about serving clients, but also about contributing conscientiously to the community.
My ongoing involvement with the exceptional team at WMS reflects this commitment and enables me to contribute meaningfully to the charity’s leadership, through my active participation on its female-led board of trustees.
Please Note
I do not provide mediation services, nor do I receive any fees, commission, or other financial benefit from signposting to this charity.
I am simply proud and honoured to support and promote the work of WMS.
