About us
Witnessing the challenges families faced in the North East’s family justice system, experienced barrister-mediators founded Fountain Mediation in 2012 to offer a more supportive approach.
We recognised a common thread: the desire for a smooth and respectful transition. Our founders understood that most families prioritise the well-being of their children, seeking solutions that ensure continued positive relationships with both parents, alongside fair financial arrangements.
This understanding is the cornerstone of our practice at Fountain Mediation.
