My profile

Confidence for Today, Clarity for Tomorrow.

I became a financial adviser because I believe that financial security plays a big role in people’s wellbeing. I’ve seen how much stress and uncertainty money issues can create, and I want to help people feel more in control and confident about their future. Knowing I can help clients sleep a little easier by providing clear guidance and a plan they trust is what makes this work meaningful to me.

I specialise in the following:

Business solutions
Financial planning
Inheritance tax and estate planning
Investments
Protection
Retirement planning
Approaching retirement planning
Post-retirement planning
Saving for retirement
Savings and investments
Trust and estate planning

I cover the South, South East, and South West, but I am also available to speak to online.

How I work

I believe that truly understanding you and your aspirations is the first step in successful financial planning. Many of my clients and I initially connect online, with some preferring to continue virtually, while others choose in-person meetings. I’m flexible and committed to working in the way that suits you best.

My goal is to understand not just your finances, but what money really means to you and how it fits into the life you envision. I’ll help you identify key events and goals on the horizon that require financial planning, working with you to clarify your financial needs and develop a tailored plan designed to support your values and future.

How I can help you

I help you gain peace of mind by creating a clear, realistic plan for both saving and spending. Together, we determine how much you need to save to achieve your dreams and how much you can spend sustainably. I make sure we’re protecting what matters most and look for any gaps—such as missed tax-saving opportunities—that could strengthen your financial plan. My support goes beyond finances; I’m here for all aspects that contribute to achieving your goals, building a lasting relationship to keep you on track as life changes.

The value/benefit I add to my clients

I work to give you peace of mind by structuring your finances professionally, so you can feel confident that your future will unfold as you hope. By taking on the financial planning, I help relieve the stress and time commitment of managing it yourselves, allowing you to focus on enjoying life. My goal is to empower you to achieve financial freedom, protect your loved ones, and afford the experiences and lifestyle you truly want.

About me

I have a Level 4 Diploma in Financial Advice from the London Institute of Banking and Finance.

Outside of work, I’m all about staying active and making the most of life’s experiences. I play and watch football, and I love live music. My two huskies keep me on my toes—and I love taking them out for long walks! Travel is a big passion of mine and my girlfriend’s; I’m always up for a city break since sitting still has never been my strong suit.

A pension is a long term investment. The fund value may fluctuate and can go down, which would have an impact on the level of pension benefits available. Pension income could also be affected by interest rates at the time benefits are taken.

The tax treatment of pensions in general and tax implications of pension withdrawals will be based on individual circumstances, tax legislation and regulation, which are subject to change in the future.

When investing your capital is at risk. The value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount invested.
