Matt House

Matt joined the Mediation First team in 2024. He trained as a family mediator in 2022, as a natural progression from a career working in youth justice over the past 25 years. Through his varied work with young offenders, community mentoring programmes, schools support and charity leadership, Matt’s empathic, relational and calm approach has been tested and developed. He has seen and experienced the necessity and transformation of a mediator holding space for difficult conversations and is excited to be able to assist clients to navigate these challenges. Matt wholeheartedly believes in justice and excellence being available to all; he considers that every voice is important and brings this motivation and skills to his family mediation work.
