Trusted McKenzie Friend Siobhan Jarvis

Siobhan became a McKenzie Friend after witnessing first hand how isolating and overwhelming the Family Court process can be for parents representing themselves. Her approach combines empathy, structure, and calm reassurance helping clients feel supported, prepared, and able to focus on what truly matters: their children’s welfare.

Siobhan holds a BA (Hons) in Social Work and has worked within local authority children and families teams, where she gained valuable insight into safeguarding, assessments, and multi-agency working. Having experienced the care system herself, she brings a genuine understanding of how early experiences and family dynamics can shape people’s lives and influence the decisions made about children.

Since 2022, Siobhan has supported parents in private law proceedings involving child arrangements, domestic abuse, and complex family issues. She believes in maintaining a fair, child focused approach while ensuring parents feel heard and guided through each stage of the process.

Based in Staffordshire and West Midlands, Siobhan provides calm and compassionate support to those navigating the challenges of the family court system.

  21/11/25 Stretch from Staffordshire about McKenzie Friend Siobhan Jarvis

Siobhan has been an amazing support, in preparation and running through MY bundle and giving helpful tips has been invaluable. The difference of a McKenzie friend has been different to a solicitor - which generally embarked upon creating more paid work - this wasn't the case for me by using a McKenzie friend as I can "call the shots" / control the money etc. Most court processes when self representing are exhausting - and I was exhausted. Siobhan gave me uplift. I was fed up and considered walking away from the process to see my children. Meeting Siobhan changed this. She reviewed my bundle and added suggestions, she came to court with me - what Id have to say there is I had rightly been surrounded by people who where emotionally involved and that is tiring. My McKenzie friend picked that up and I felt listened to rather than questioned.

Siobhan provides an absolutely fantastic service. Siobhan supported me every step of the way, and thanks to her dedication, guidance, and compassion, me and my girls now have 50% of our time together.

She made the whole process feel manageable, listened when things got tough, and genuinely cared about the outcome for me and my daughters. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be by my side through all of this.

Thank you, Siobhan - You helped change our lives.
