She appears in cases across the spectrum of Children Act matters with a split practice between care proceedings and private law disputes and is instructed on behalf of Local Authorities, parents and children’s guardians.

In both areas, her practice often includes cases involving fact finding hearings where she is instructed both for Local Authorities and vulnerable clients seeking findings and alleged perpetrators who deny such allegations.

She is instructed in cases involving allegations of sexual abuse (against both parents and children), non-accidental injury, and serious domestic abuse.

Her style is straightforward, providing honest appraisals and guidance to foster a common sense approach to proceedings.
