Who I help

I help people before, during and after separation and divorce, whether or not they are married.

I work with women and men all over England and Wales by phone, Zoom and email. Most of my clients are leaving abusive, narcissistic or controlling relationships, or partners with mental health problems.

I mostly work with people who don’t have solicitors, usually because they can’t afford one, but sometimes because I have a better understanding of a client’s particular case, especially if their ex has narcissistic tendencies or there is parental alienation.

Most lawyers have little or no understanding of narcissistic and other personality disorders (even when they say they do). I work with some clients who have solicitors to suggest more appropriate ways of dealing with their legal case as well as giving them the practical and emotional support to better manage the narcissistic behaviour going forward. See for example Sheila’s story: https://dealingwithdivorce.co.uk/dont-blink-first/

Every family is different and my support is flexible to suit your situation and budget. I can give you as much or as little help as you want to guide you through the legal process.

I work with many clients for two or three years to help them through all their court proceedings but for some just one meeting is enough to give them the information and strategy they need.

Unfortunately if you’re divorcing a narcissist it’s unlikely you’ll be able to avoid going to court and you you’ll need a different strategy to that for a ‘normal’ separation or divorce. I help clients to work out the best way forward and support them to leave their relationship and/or take the necessary steps to protect themselves and their children.
