TELL US A BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR CAREER TO DATE / IN LAW?

I’ve worked in residential conveyancing for over 20 years and I still genuinely love helping people move home. For most people, buying or selling a property is one of the biggest decisions they’ll ever make, and I believe the legal process should feel supportive rather than stressful.

Throughout my career, I’ve always enjoyed working closely with clients and building lasting relationships. I’ve acted for clients across Dorset, London and the South Coast, and what has remained constant is the importance of communication, trust and practical advice.

I like to understand what’s important to people, keep things moving and be there to guide them through every stage of the transaction.

Moving house is stressful enough without feeling left in the dark. I believe in picking up the phone, having honest conversations and making sure clients always know where they stand. Taking the time to speak with people, manage expectations and provide practical advice has always been at the heart of how I work.

AND YOUR CLIENTS?

My clients range from first-time buyers taking their first step onto the property ladder through to families, business owners and individuals buying or selling higher-value properties across Dorset, London and the South Coast.

Having grown up in Dorset and worked extensively across Poole, Bournemouth, Salisbury, Southampton and Winchester, I have a strong understanding of the local property market and the challenges that can arise in more complex transactions. Alongside this, I have considerable experience acting on London property matters, including leasehold transactions and more complex titles, giving me a broad perspective across different markets.

Many of my clients come to me through recommendation and return at different stages of their lives because they value straightforward advice, regular communication and having a lawyer who is accessible when they need support.

I particularly enjoy helping first-time buyers navigate the process with confidence. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, and I want clients to feel like they’ve had their hand held throughout the journey, with someone they can trust to guide them every step of the way.

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT BEING A LAWYER?

Communication and accessibility are incredibly important to me.

Moving home is often listed as one of life’s most stressful events and I believe clients deserve a lawyer who is responsive, proactive and willing to pick up the phone when needed.

I take the time to understand what matters most to my clients, provide practical advice and keep them informed throughout the transaction. My aim is for clients to feel supported, reassured and confident about what happens next, rather than worrying about what’s happening behind the scenes.

WHAT DO YOU CLIENTS VALUE ABOUT WORKING WITH YOU?

Clients often tell me they appreciate my responsiveness, practical approach and ability to explain things in plain English.

I pride myself on being approachable, accessible and genuinely invested in helping my clients achieve their goals. I understand that a property transaction is about far more than paperwork, it’s about people, families and future plans.

My clients know they can pick up the phone, ask questions and receive honest, practical advice whenever they need it.

AND WHEN YOU ARE NOT WORKING?

You will find me stood on various football pitches around the country with my 3 boys or walking our 2 Jack Russells. I have also discovered a love for gardening!

WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?

I am an absolute personal development bookworm. The beach, walks in the woods, cooking Sunday roast dinners for my family, clients often become life long friends when you work with me.
