Financial Planner DipFA, CeMAP®, CeRER®, PETR, CertLTCP in Hampshire
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.
In the UK, there’s an estimated £26.6bn1 in lost or forgotten pensions. That means the average UK worker is missing as much as £28k2 from their retirement money. But there’s good news - this kind of financial hit is completely avoidable.
This one might seem obvious, but it’s easy to lose track of your pension pots, where they are, and what they’re doing. If you make a note of your pension providers, and check your pot(s) regularly, you’re far less likely to lose one of them over time.
Your investment allocation is where and how you’re investing your pension. Often, people will just use their pension provider’s default setting. But this might not actually be right for your retirement goals and risk profile. So, it’s a good idea to revisit this every few years.
If you’ve had a windfall recently, like a pay rise, bonus, or inheritance, putting a portion of it into your pension is a good idea. Not only is it tax-efficient, but you’ll be glad when your retirement comes around.
As an adviser, my role is to help you get all of this done simply, with all the facts and information you need. That might be helping you review your risk profile, consolidating old pension pots, or making a plan to help you retire early.
If that sounds good to you, please get in touch.
The value of pensions and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested. Tax Planning is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Tax treatment varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change.

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.
