She regularly represents children and young people in court, either directly as their solicitor or through their children’s guardian and is often approached by other professionals to work on complex cases.

Helen has considerable expertise in Family Court cases concerning allegations of inflicted or non-accidental injury to children, as well as cases involving allegations of emotional and psychological harm.  She is experienced in the instruction of appropriate medical, psychological or other independent experts able to provide specialist assessment to the Court.  She is well regarded for her advocacy in Court and her robust stance on achieving the best outcomes for the children that she represents.

Helen also has over 25 years’ experience in dealing with disputes between parents and arrangements with their children.
