A little bit about Claire

I’m a diploma qualified financial planner based in Hampshire. What I enjoy most about the job I do is simply the variety of people I have the privilege in helping to manage their finances effectively for their future. I am a real ‘people person’ and feel honoured to deal with such a wide variety of clients, from all of walks of life and industries. I take pride in making complex topics - such as personal taxation, investment, and retirement planning - clear, relevant and easy to understand.

An adviser’s insight

Graphic of people learning about protection

Can the right protection help you become more financially resilient?

Have you heard of the ‘protection gap’? You probably know someone who’s fallen into it.

Most of us know to get travel or pet insurance, or even just insure our mobile phone. But when it comes to really big life events, cover can easily get overlooked – causing a gap.

Far too many people aren’t properly protected against life-changing events, like losing their job or not being able to work because they’ve fallen ill. Which means that when these things do happen, they can have a much bigger impact than they need to.

Luckily, cover like income protection and critical illness can help people become more financially resilient. So, if you do have a financial shock, it doesn’t have to turn everything upside down. And it can be surprisingly simple and affordable.

If you’ve had a big milestone recently, or a change in your circumstances, it might be the right time to relook at your protection needs.

Reach out to me and I’ll be happy to help.

More about me

I have worked within the finance industry for over 18 years, during which time I have worked in a variety of operational, business development and technical roles.

I qualified as a financial adviser in 2018 and have most recently been providing corporate retirement advice to members of large household name companies with their own final salary pension schemes. At the beginning of 2025, I returned to Quilter, after an absence of 7 years, during which time I worked as a paraplanner and financial adviser for other local firms in Hampshire.

Outside of work, I am a busy mum to two sons. I love spending time in the great outdoors and enjoy live music, comedy and travel as often as I can, as well as doing a spot of running and yoga.
