Wealthier post-divorce? Protect your assets
Why you need a financial consent order after divorce Did you know your ex-partner could still claim money from you
I have worked in family law since 2014, qualifying as a solicitor in 2015. I previously worked at a well established Hertfordshire law firm before joining the family and divorce team based in the Chelmsford office at Tees in 2022.
I can advise on a wide range of Family law matters including divorce and finances, matters relating to children, domestic abuse issues, cohabitation disputes and advice on pre and post nuptial agreements. I understand the need for a fair but pragmatic approach and I am committed to reaching agreements without the need for formal Court proceedings wherever possible. As a member of Resolution, I offer constructive and practical advice, taking into account the needs of my clients.
I completed my law degree at the University of Hertfordshire where I also went on to study and complete the Legal Practice Course. I then worked at a regional law firm as a paralegal for 11 years, firstly in the property department and from 2014 in the Family department. I qualified as a solicitor in 2015 and since then have practised exclusively in family law.
I would recommend Joshua Coombe, Lisa Honey and Catriona Rafferty. Joshua Coombe has considerable experience and is regarded as a formidable local solicitor.
I enjoy spending time with my family, paddleboarding, and practising yoga in my spare time.
Our team were ranked in the top tier of the Legal 500 2026 for the Essex region.
