Contact Sarah Phillips
 Trusted McKenzie Friend 

“I became a McKenzie Friend after navigating my own complex divorce and family court proceedings, during which I represented myself. The experience was emotionally and mentally challenging, but it gave me an understanding of the family court system and the critical need for calm, compassionate and strategic support during such overwhelming times.

My professional background is in internal recruitment and HR, where I spent years working with people from all walks of life negotiating, listening, guiding, and advocating. I’ve developed strong interpersonal and communication skills, as well as a calm, grounded presence that helps others feel heard and supported. I understand how to read between the lines, identify priorities and help people focus on what matters most.

As a McKenzie Friend, I bring not only practical guidance and court familiarity, but also emotional intelligence, empathy and a genuine passion for helping people feel more empowered and less alone in the process.”

I had got Sarah to do a witness statement for me and I cannot be any happier with the overall service that she provided. She listened and gave her professional advice and I felt like I was heard. Sarah was always communicating with me and I never felt hurried she took her time with everything and was so through. I can't recommend her enough thank you so much for everything
