I qualified as a solicitor in 2001 and have had a varied legal career working in a City law firm, international consumer goods companies, and in the family departments of local law firms in Devon. Practising family law has been the highlight of my career so far. It is a privilege to support clients going through difficult times. I endeavour to bring not just the expected intellectual rigour to my work but also clarity and compassion.

I joined Wollens in 2025, specializing in financial matters relating to relationship breakdown, which can include advising on the division of business assets, pensions and property, helping clients to find non-court solutions wherever possible. Where court proceedings are required, I assist clients with financial disclosure, expert valuations and reports, settlement negotiations, and advocacy where appropriate.

My clients include separating married and unmarried couples, and those seeking to agree how their assets should be divided in the event of a future divorce or separation, as they contemplate marriage or cohabitation.

I also advise parents who are struggling to agree arrangements for their children after divorce or separation. This may be resolved through negotiation, or it may require court intervention. I try to take a therapeutic approach, focusing on the emotional well-being of my clients as well as the legal necessities, understanding that the ability to “move on” with one’s life and to co-parent often requires more than a Court order.

Outside work, I am a busy mum to two angelic boys and a devilish border terrier. We all love exploring the moors and the coasts of Devon.
