"You don't have to carry this alone."

After eighteen years in family law, Eleanor founded Haven to practise the way she always believed it should be done — patiently, honestly, and with genuine warmth.

A Resolution-accredited specialist and trained mediator, she has guided hundreds of parents and partners through divorce and children matters. Her approach is simple: protect what matters most, reduce conflict wherever possible, and always tell you the truth — even when it's hard.

Beyond the Paperwork

It's not really about the law. It's about the life after.

Every settlement we reach, every arrangement we agree, has the same goal: a calmer tomorrow for you and the people you love. We measure success not in clauses won, but in families able to breathe again.

That's why we work so hard to keep things amicable — because the relationships that remain, especially between co-parents, matter long after the file is closed.
