Hiring a solicitor feels financially impossible. But going it alone? Terrifying. One wrong move and you could lose access to your children, miss out on a fair financial settlement, or create delays that cost you time, money, and your emotional wellbeing.
The legal system wasn’t designed to be DIY-friendly. Most people don’t qualify for legal aid and solicitors’ hourly rates make consistent help feel out of reach. It’s lonely, stressful, and way too easy to make mistakes you can’t undo.
You deserve better.

It’s an affordable, expert-led membership for people navigating family breakdowns - including divorce, child custody (known as child arrangements), financial settlements, domestic abuse concerns, and much more.
Created by a practising family law solicitor, the Learn Hub gives you clear, digestible legal knowledge, emotional support, and the confidence to handle things ‘properly’ -without paying thousands in legal fees.
You’ll get the expert insights you need to protect yourself legally and feel more emotionally grounded while you do it.

After joining the learn hub you will:
Feel informed, calm, capable and back in control
Understand the legal process and your rights
Know how to respond to legal letters (without panic)
Handle your situation with clarity and confidence
Recognise what’s fair and what’s a scare tactic
Spot common mistakes before they cost you time, money, or peace of mind
Make decisions from a place of calm, not fear
Relying on Google at 2am.
Second-guessing every decision.
Panicking every time a legal letter lands on your doorstep.
Asking, “Am I allowed to do this?” and not knowing where you stand.
Being one step behind - instead, you'll take the lead.
Paying for answers you can find in minutes inside the Learn Hub.
Guessing what the law expects of you - and hoping you’re right.

“Phenomenal, incredibly knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate
I contacted Fotoulla for some legal advice regarding some complexities I was struggling with in relation to my divorce. She was phenomenal, incredibly knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate and understanding. I felt like I was talking to an incredibly knowledgeable friend. I can’t rate her highly enough and I would strongly recommend her services. I have dealt with a few family solicitors over the last couple of years and she is the best.”
“I would highly recommend Fotoulla. I was impressed with her professionalism. She exceeded my expectations throughout
Going through a divorce is a traumatic experience especially when it takes two years to complete and goes to final hearing. Fotoulla responding to every email by return, gave me all the information required to make the right decisions and went above and beyond to make sure I was fully supported. I would highly recommend Fotoulla I was impressed with her professionalism and she exceeded my expectations throughout.”
“Fotoulla was very helpful and professional
I felt she listened to my concerns and showed compassion. This is something so important when dealing with family law matters. I felt it was easy to talk to her. She is clearly experienced and knowledgeable of her field, immediately identifying several legal options for me to consider regarding my circumstances. Fotoulla is credit to the legal profession and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.”

Fotoulla was recommended to me by a friend. I found her to be both knowledgeable and professional. She is kind and empathetic and made the entire process as painless as possible, explaining everything to me in great detail. I thoroughly recommend her services!”
“Lovely, empathetic lawyer
Fotoulla is the most lovely empathetic lawyer, and I highly recommend her services. She goes above and beyond for her clients.”
What makes the Learn Hub different?
This isn’t just another legal course or template pack.

It’s built by a real-life, practising solicitor – not a faceless legal content site or AI.
It’s designed with emotional safety and trauma-awareness at its heart.
It’s created to give you clear answers – not confusion, gatekeeping or jargon.
It’s constantly updated and shaped by your real-life questions.

Bite-sized legal training videos (because no one needs a 40-minute snoozefest)
Live Q&A calls twice a month – get your questions answered in a confidential setting
Resource library – growing regularly, with the tools you request
Supportive, private membership space – no question is too small
Ongoing content shaped by you – tell me what you need, I’ll create it
Quick wins – this section of the Learn Hub is your shortcut to action. You’ll find templates and practical tools all in one place - the kind of solicitor-approved tools you’d normally only see if you were paying by the hour.
Engaging my services 1-1 as your legal representative starts at £360 per hour but with The Learn Hub, you pay:
£35 per month. No contract. Cancel anytime! That's less than one Friday night takeaway a month and far more nourishing for your peace of mind.
£385 per year. Includes one month free, PLUS a 30-min private call with me (worth £180)!
You’re handling a family law issue yourself (divorce, child contact, finances, domestic abuse etc) - or you want to make the most of your solicitor’s time and keep costs down
You want clarity without the costs
You want expert insight - not recycled ‘advice’ from people who aren’t legally trained
You want to feel in control - and confident you won’t regret your next step
Extremely complex cases that require urgent legal representation
Those looking for “legal hacks” or shortcuts - this is about doing things properly
People who want someone else to do it all for them - this is for those ready to take the wheel, with expert backup
Get calm, expert support when you need it most, any time of the day, on your own terms - before one wrong move costs you more than you can afford to lose
I’ve spent over 20 years in the legal profession - and I’ve seen firsthand how the system fails people who can’t afford ongoing legal fees. Integrity is my compass.

This membership is about real help. No gatekeeping. No eye-watering legal fees. Just clear, kind, expert support when you need it most. I’ve also been that client, crying in frustration and trying to make sense of legal letters that felt like another language.
That experience is why I do things differently now: combining expert legal insight with the kind of clarity and calm support, I once needed.
That’s why I created the Learn Hub - to give people:
Expert knowledge, without the fear
Real support, without the £360 per hour fee
Calm guidance, when everything feels like chaos
I’ve helped thousands through my videos, guides and free content and now I’ve built a space where you can get the deeper support you truly need.
Because support should be ‘accessible’, not exclusive.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Learn Hub is educational, not regulated legal advice. You’ll learn what to do, when, and how - so you can apply that knowledge safely to your situation. It’s like having a solicitor’s brain in your back pocket.
You’ll have the knowledge to recognise when it’s time to get a solicitor involved - and avoid making irreversible mistakes while you figure it out.
Absolutely. This is a safe space, and your privacy is important.
You’re welcome to keep your camera off at all times and you don’t need to use your real name during group Q&A sessions.
If you’d prefer to remain completely anonymous, you can choose a login name that doesn’t identify you. Some members do this, especially if they’re worried the person they’re divorcing or co-parenting with might also join the group. It’s a simple step that can help you feel more emotionally safe and at ease in live sessions.
You will need to use the email address you purchased the membership with to log in, but that’s only visible to admin, never to other members.
Absolutely not. Everything is explained clearly and simply. You’ll be surprised how quickly you start feeling confident.
Yes! Monthly membership can be cancelled anytime. You can even join for a month, explore everything and leave if it’s not for you – no pressure, no catch. It’s my way of giving back: real support, exceptional value, and your choice every step of the way.
The annual membership gives you even more value - plus a free 1:1 session with me.
The Learn Hub is designed to help with a wide range of family law issues - from divorce to child contact, finances and domestic abuse. If your question isn’t answered yet, you can ask and I’ll create content around it. This space evolves with you.
Not at all. The Learn Hub is also ideal if you do have a solicitor but want to make the most of your time with them - by asking better questions, feeling more confident, and avoiding extra costs for every small query.
You can submit questions in advance or ask them live - totally up to you. Everything is confidential, and there’s no pressure to speak if you’d rather just listen and learn.
You don’t have to choose between doing it alone or draining your savings on legal fees.
The Learn Hub is your legal safety net - built for people who want to understand the law, make smart decisions, and feel emotionally grounded while they do it.
It’s for those who can’t afford to instruct a solicitor - or for those who want to use their solicitor’s time wisely.
It costs less than one Friday night takeaway a month - or just six minutes of my time as a practising solicitor.
But the peace of mind? That lasts far longer.
It’s clear. It’s empowering. It’s yours.
Join today and feel the difference of having a legal secret weapon in your corner.
