About us

Mediation Plus is an independent and impartial conflict resolution service.

Based in East Sussex, we can provide face-to-face and remote support. 

Mediation Plus is a small charity that provides mediation and one-to-one support to people living and working in East Sussex and the surrounding areas, as well as providing accredited mediation training.

Mediation Plus offers confidential, impartial, independent, and voluntary mediation and conflict resolution services.

We are the recognised independent mediation service in our area, having helped hundreds of people resolve different kinds of disputes, and to improve communication and relationships.

Our services include:

Mediation between adults going through separation or divorce to resolve disputes and support joint decision-making.

Supporting young people under the age 8 – 18 years and their parents or carers to help repair relationships or to resolve a specific issue affecting the family.

Helping neighbours and communities to resolve issues and restore lines of communication where there is conflict.

Listening support, also known as ‘Conflict Coaching’, aimed at helping people to manage difficult situations and to find a way of reducing the impact conflict has on their lives.

A low-cost, effective solution to resolving disputes between managers and staff, or colleagues, to improve team relationships, and performance, and to retain good staff.

Mediation tailored to your individual needs. This could include mediation between adult relatives, young peers, elders or between a local business and customer.
