Support to help difficult situations move forward
Many people seek mediation when communication has broken down, and conversations feel stuck, tense, or unproductive. You may be dealing with separation, family disagreements, workplace conflict, or an ongoing dispute where things keep escalating despite your best efforts to resolve it.
Often, people come to mediation saying things like:
“I don’t want this to end up in court.”
“We need help talking without it turning into an argument.”
“This can’t keep going the way it is.”
At Cherry Tree Therapy Centre in Henley-on-Thames, we offer mediation services that provide a calm, neutral space to support constructive conversation, reduce escalation, and help people reach practical, workable agreements. Mediation offers an alternative to legal proceedings, while keeping control and decision-making with those involved.
Mediation involves working with a trained, impartial mediator who supports all parties equally. The mediator does not take sides or impose decisions. Instead, they help structure conversations so everyone has the opportunity to be heard and understood.
Mediation is:
Confidential — discussions are not shared outside the process
Voluntary — no one is forced to reach an agreement
Future-focused — concentrating on practical next steps rather than blame
Mediation can be particularly helpful where people need to maintain an ongoing relationship, such as co-parenting, extended family connections, neighbours, or colleagues.
You can expect:
No. Mediation focuses on resolving specific disputes and improving communication around practical issues, rather than exploring emotional or psychological difficulties.
At Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, we offer both family and civil mediation, delivered by experienced, accredited mediators. We’ll help ensure you’re matched with the right mediator for your situation.
Supporting families through separation, divorce, parenting arrangements, and wider family disputes. Where children are involved, their wellbeing remains central to the process, and child-inclusive mediation may be offered where appropriate.
Supporting non-family disputes, including workplace issues, neighbour disputes, and other civil conflicts where resolution is needed without litigation.
Suitability for mediation is always discussed carefully, as the process works best when all parties are willing to engage.
Yes. Mediation is voluntary, and all parties must be willing to take part for it to be effective.
In many cases, yes. Mediation can be a more time-efficient, cost-effective, and less adversarial alternative to court.
Yes. While our centre is based in Henley-on-Thames, we regularly support individuals and families travelling from surrounding areas such as Marlow, Twyford, Sonning, Wargrave, and Nettlebed. Some mediation sessions may also be offered online where appropriate.
Fees vary depending on the type of mediation and the number of sessions required. We’re happy to talk through your situation, explain the process, and discuss current fees when you get in touch.
