Expertise

Helen advises on all matters relating to family breakdown, divorce and cohabitation. She has a particular interest in helping those who have been affected by domestic abuse. Domestic abuse can include anything from isolating a person from their friends and family, monitoring their time or taking control over aspects of their everyday life (such as where they can go, who they can see, what to wear, their finances or when they can sleep. It can also include threats to hurt, to kill or even physical assault).

Helen recognises that the legal implications of domestic abuse are accompanied by a plethora of emotional and other issues, and she aims to ensure that clients are able to work through them with the right advice and support.

Helen’s aim is to ensure the situation people face, as a result of their relationship breakdown, is made as easy as it can be. She works with clients, both domestic and internationally, to deal with their problems in a constructive manner so the client, any children and everyone else involved can move forward positively. Helen is a qualified collaborative lawyer and is currently training to be a mediator.  She is also a qualified Mental Health First Aider.

She is recognised for her calm and compassionate approach. 

Helen is a member of Resolution. She sits on the board of Support Through Court which provides pro bono support to litigants in person. She volunteers for the Family Law Panel’s domestic abuse helpline (run by OnlyMums and OnlyDads).
