Financial Planning Consultant DipFA, CeMAP in Hemel Hempstead
I have Level 4 Diploma for Financial Advisers (DipFA) and Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice (CeMAP) qualification from London Institute of Banking and Finance (LIBF). I am authorised and registered to give financial advice by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). You can find my authorisation details. My aim is to make a real impact in the financial lives of my customers, while also providing a more human, personal approach to their money.
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 required a financial adviser to help with my general money situation and to access my 30 year pension and was recommended to Heta.
Heta visited me in my home and was quickly able to grasp my situation and assured me that she would get things moving quickly.
This she did and, throughout, I have found Heta to be very reliable, responding to my emails quickly and a great person to have on my side.
From our first conversation she put me at ease and helped me understand my financial situation better and feel more optimistic about it.
Heta is an excellent communicator and kept me informed every step of the way. She acted quickly when any difficulties arose and resolved them completely.
She helped me clarify my goals and got me where I needed to be.
I have already referred a colleague to her and would highly recommend her services to anyone.
I have more than 20 years’ experience in the financial services industry. My career started as mortgage administrator in an estate agency and have also worked at Nationwide Building Society as a personal banking manager.
I’m married (my husband is an electrical engineer) with one son and enjoy spending time with my family. I spend most of my summer evenings and weekends watching my son play cricket.
