Does this feel familiar?

One of these situations brings most people to Alexander Christian. Sometimes more than one.

Family · Co-Parenting · NW London

I am going through separation and I do not know what my options are

My children are caught in the middle and I want that to stop

I want a resolution that does not destroy the co-parenting relationship

I need someone who will guide me through the legal process without making things worse

I want a path forward that is child-centred and low-conflict

I feel alone in this and I need someone who understands what is at stake

Business · Self-Employed · Professionals

I do good work but the right clients are not finding

I cannot say clearly what makes me different from others who do similar work

I started this practice with a clear sense of who it was for and somewhere along the way I lost that thread

I am undercharging and I do not know how to change it

I have nobody to think through the big decisions with

I want to be the choice, not the option

Family Law · Co-Parenting · Harrow · Pinner · Northwood · NW London

Separation is not just a legal situation.
And a legal solution is not always enough.

For separating parents and individuals in Harrow, Pinner, Northwood, Stanmore, Edgware and surrounding North West London who want a path forward that genuinely works for their children and for themselves.

The legal process resolves arrangements. It does not resolve the co-parenting relationship that has to work long after the proceedings end. Two parents can leave with a legally binding child arrangements order and still be unable to talk to each other about their children's school, their health, their day.

At Alexander Christian, the starting point is always the same: what is the most constructive path forward for these children, in this family, in this situation? That question leads to different answers for different families. Some need legal representation. Some need mediation. Some need co-parenting guidance before or instead of court proceedings.

The practice works across all of these approaches because no single approach is right for every situation.

The approach here is calm, low-conflict, and forward-focused. Whatever the situation, the goal is a resolution that these children can grow up in not a victory that damages the relationships they depend on.

What delay costs when children are involved

Every week of unresolved conflict is a week your children are carrying something they should not have to carry
Delay rarely preserves your legal position it often erodes it
The emotional toll of uncertainty compounds over time for every member of the family
Resolutions reached earlier tend to hold better than those reached under pressure

Business Consultancy · Sole Practitioners · Independent Professionals · Small Businesses

Are you spending energy reaching the wrong people.
There is a different way to approach this.

For self-employed professionals, sole traders, start-ups and small service businesses in North West London who want to think more clearly about who they serve, what they stand for, and how they communicate it.

Most independent professionals simply haven’t had a dedicated, structured space to think through the questions that shape the direction of a practice. Day‑to‑day work fills the calendar. Conversations with colleagues, networks, or advisers are valuable, but each comes with its own perspective and priorities.

What’s often missing is a space held by someone who understands the professional context, has no stake in the outcome, and can help explore these questions with clarity and without an agenda.

The business consultancy sessions at Alexander Christian are facilitation services not coaching, not advice, not a programme. Each session is a one-to-one, in-person, structured conversation. The facilitator holds the space and asks the questions. The thinking is yours. The conclusions are yours. Nothing is prescribed, nothing is assigned. What the session produces depends entirely on what you bring and the clarity that emerges from examining it properly.

What staying still costs

Every month communicating to the wrong version of your ideal client is effort that does not compound
Underpricing becomes the baseline and each passing month makes it harder to correct
The decisions you are carrying alone do not get lighter. They accumulate
The right clients continue to find you by chance rather than by choice

Book your Consultation

Workshop 01

Client Persona Workshop

Who your ideal client is, what triggers them, what they value, and what your communication needs to say to reach them. Three hours. One or two specific, usable personas.

Workshop 02

Storytelling for Business

The consistent narrative that makes the right people recognise immediately that you are exactly what they have been looking for.

Workshop 03

Professional Positioning

Stop being compared. Start being sought. Who you are most distinctively for, what you stand for, how to say it consistently.

Workshop 04

Ethical Pricing

Pricing the value you deliver to a specific person with a specific felt problem. Confident, grounded, and sustainable.

Peer Support

A Thinking Space

A private, confidential conversation for the decisions and difficulties you cannot examine inside the business. No agenda other than your clarity.

Starting Point

Initial Consultation

A paid conversation about your practice and where you are. Mutual assessment of fit. No obligation to proceed further.

Common questions

The questions before you book

What happens in the first consultation?

A genuine conversation about your situation. Not a sales call and not a preliminary to being handed a brochure. We will ask you to describe what you are dealing with, ask questions, and by the end you will have a clear picture of your options and the most constructive next step. There is no pressure and no obligation to proceed with anything further. Many people find the consultation itself clarifying enough to know what they want to do next.

What does it cost?

All fees are on our fees page. We do not list fees on service pages because we review them regularly and want you to have the current figure. The initial consultation is a paid engagement not a free discovery call. It is a professional conversation with real value in its own right, regardless of whether you proceed with further work.

How long is the initial consultation?

Forty-five to sixty minutes for most consultations. The opening part of the meeting is spent on the compliance process together, which means the conversational time can feel shorter than the clock suggests. If your situation needs more space, let us know when you book we can arrange a longer first meeting. As we book the meeting room for each appointment the time is fixed, so it is worth considering this before you arrive.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. What you share remains between us, subject to the legal obligations that apply to every regulated practice which we explain clearly at the outset. For AML compliance clients there are specific disclosure obligations under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 that we discuss openly at the start of any engagement. For family law and business consultancy clients the conversation is confidential.

Do you offer remote or online consultations?

All services are in person only, at Harrow Business Centre in North Harrow, London. We have made a deliberate decision not to offer telephone or online appointments. The quality of the conversation and the quality of the compliance process is significantly better when we are in the same room. If travelling to North Harrow is a consideration, the contact page has directions and transport details.

How do I know if this is right for me?

Book the initial consultation and find out. The consultation is precisely designed to answer that question for you and for us. It is a mutual assessment of whether this is the right engagement. If it is not, we will tell you clearly, and we will tell you what we think would better serve your situation. We would rather lose a potential further booking than take on work that is not right for what you need. There is a fixed fee (plus vat at 20%) for the initial consultation.

I have tried other professionals before and it did not help. Why would this be different?

It may not be. We cannot promise a different outcome from previous engagements. What we can tell you is that this practice does not use generic templates, does not give the same response to every client, and does not proceed with any engagement unless the initial consultation establishes we are genuinely the right fit for your situation. If we are not, we will say so at the consultation.

I am not sure I am ready yet. Is it too early to book?

No. The consultation is designed precisely for people who are not yet sure. It is the space to think through your situation with someone who has no stake in any particular outcome. Many people book a consultation months before they proceed with any further work and the clarity they gain shapes everything that follows. If you are not sure whether you are ready, that is usually the right moment to have the conversation. There is a fixed fee (plus vat at 20%) for the initial consultation.
