The McKenzie Friend Guide is a curated directory of McKenzie Friends and other family court professionals across England and Wales.
Unlike a traditional McKenzie Friend directory, every featured professional has been interviewed. This allows parents to hear directly about their experience, approach and areas of work before deciding who may be right for them.
Each profile includes an interview, professional background, areas covered, main areas of focus and direct links for further information or booking. The guide is carefully selected and is not open to automatic listings.
