About Portsmouth Mediation Service:

Portsmouth Mediation Service is dedicated to making Portsmouth a Restorative City — a place where strong relationships are built, and conflicts are handled with respect, understanding, and care. PMS has embedded these principles into every part of its work — with clients, partners, and within the team itself. This philosophy isn’t just a method, it’s a way of being, fostering respect, compassion, and unity, even under pressure. Our mission is simple but ambitious: to help create a city ready and equipped to repair harm, strengthen partnerships, and restore trust whenever conflict arises.
