Practical support

Mackenzie Friend & Practical Support Services

Pricing here is variable because every case is different. Fees depend on complexity, stage of proceedings, preparation required, travel, documentation, hearing length and ongoing support needs. The figures below are starting points — we'll always agree scope and cost in writing before any work begins.

Initial Strategy & Support Session

From £90

A focused session to understand your situation, map next steps and agree how we work together.

Document Review & Court Preparation

From £150

Reading paperwork, building chronologies, organising evidence and preparing for hearings.

Ongoing Practical Support

Priced individually

Continuing support across a case or life situation, shaped to what's actually needed.

Court Attendance (Mackenzie Friend)

Priced individually

In-person or remote attendance at hearings in a Mackenzie Friend capacity.

Community supported space

A limited reduced-cost or fully funded practical support space may occasionally be available for a man experiencing financial hardship. Availability is limited and assessed individually. This is offered at my discretion and is not guaranteed.

Important

A Mackenzie Friend is not a solicitor and cannot provide legal advice, conduct litigation or represent you as a lawyer. This service is offered through MendCoaching — a private coaching and support practice — and is separate from MENd Together CIC.

Common questions

About price, payment and fit

  • Why is there a free discovery call before I book?

    Because fit matters more than price. A free 20-minute call gives us both a chance to see whether this is the right work for you, and the right person to do it with. There's no script and no pressure.

  • What's the difference between a Grounded Conversation and ongoing coaching?

    Grounded Conversations are flexible, lower-commitment sessions for when you need space to think and talk something through. Ongoing coaching and programmes are for sustained work over weeks or months — usually when there's a specific change you want to make.

  • Can I pay in instalments?

    Yes. The 3-session pack can be split into 2 × £40, and the 8-session journey into 3 × £105. Programme pricing includes instalment options too — we'll talk through what's manageable for you on the discovery call.

  • Do you offer reduced rates if money is tight?

    I keep a small number of reduced-rate spaces open at any time for men in genuine financial difficulty. Mention it on the discovery call — it stays between us, no proof or paperwork required.

  • What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?

    Life happens. Reschedule with at least 24 hours' notice and there's no charge. Inside 24 hours, the session is held and counted, except in genuine emergencies — we'll always talk it through.

  • Is this therapy?

    No. Coaching is forward-facing work focused on what you want to build, change or understand. It's complementary to therapy, not a substitute for it. If you're in crisis or need clinical care, please contact your GP, NHS 111 or Samaritans on 116 123.
