About Guiding Stars UK
​
At Guiding Stars UK, we provide McKenzie Friend support for individuals representing themselves in Family Court. We understand that the process can feel daunting, and our role is to ensure you don’t have to face it alone.
We offer calm, practical assistance from helping you prepare paperwork and stay organised, to providing quiet reassurance during hearings. We do not offer legal advice or representation. Our focus is on helping you feel informed, supported, and prepared throughout the process.
Our aim is to make the court experience less overwhelming and more manageable. With understanding, empathy, and a steady presence, we help bring reassurance and clarity when you need it most.
Inspired By Real Journeys
Guiding Stars UK was created from a simple belief that no one should have to face the family court process alone. Too often, people representing themselves feel overwhelmed, unheard, and unsure where to turn for guidance.
Our approach combines calm, practical support with genuine empathy. We understand how complex and emotional family proceedings can be, and we focus on helping you stay prepared, confident, and reassured from start to finish.
We’re committed to offering accessible, down to earth guidance that empowers people to manage their cases with clarity and dignity. Every person’s story matters and we’re here to make sure it’s heard.
Guiding Stars UK continues to grow with the same purpose: to bring clarity, reassurance, and understanding to those navigating some of life’s most challenging moments.
