Trauma Informed  – Domestic Abuse Aware – Neuroinclusive

The Family Justice System and the relevant law is built on and promotes fairness for all.

We understand that listening and understanding the needs of every individual involved is essential to achieve fairness.

At Keats Family Law we are committed to promoting Access to Justice and legal support ensuring outcomes are just and fair for everyone in a way that meets their needs and best interests. This is all the more prevalent for those that are vulnerable; victims and survivors of domestic abuse; and neurodivergent and neurodiverse individuals who may require support in a more tailored way.

How trauma and neurodivergence shows up in individuals can be very similar and often both require adjustments to aid communication and bridge the gaps to minimise and avoid re-traumatization and victimization.

Our Specialist Family Law & Divorce Solicitor is educated in and has lived experience and knowledge of trauma informed care, is domestic abuse aware, and understands different thought processes and the sensory experiences neurodivergent individuals can have. She is able to recognise, understand and adapt her support to the unique way individuals needs can be expressed.
