Welcome to NFS Mediation

“We are committed to deliver practical results to everyday situations and specialise in a range of restorative approaches and dispute resolutions”

NFS Mediation provides a free, confidential and independent mediation service offered to the people of Southampton and surrounding areas. We took our first clients in May 1997 and have steadily received a growing volume of referrals since.

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution. It is a process in which impartial, volunteer Mediators listen to the concerns of everyone involved in the dispute and then empower them to explore ways forward.
