about us
At Tough Talks Mediation, we believe that most legal disputes stem from a breakdown in communication between the parties. Communicating effectively can be tough – especially when emotions are high. We exist to guide you through your most challenging and important conversations.

Tough Talks Mediation acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, the Wadjuk people of the Nyoongar nation and pay our respect to their Elders, past, present, and future.
