Divorce and the effect on men’s mental health
As Movember continues to shine a spotlight on men’s mental well-being, it’s essential to address the often-overlooked emotional and physical
I am a Solicitor within the Family department at Tees, based at the Bishop’s Stortford office. I manage my own caseload whilst also working closely with the Head of the Family department, Sally Powell, on complex and high-value cases. I advise and represent clients on a broad range of family law matters, including divorce and financial settlements, cohabitation disputes, child arrangements, and pre- and post-nuptial agreements.
As a proud member of Resolution, I adopt a constructive and solution-focused approach, always seeking to minimise conflict wherever possible. My ethos, shaped by my invaluable family law experience in Hong Kong is simple: “the client is king, and communication is gold.” I place my clients’ needs at the heart of everything I do.
I strive to provide exceptional client care. I achieve this by:
My clients value my professionalism, strategic guidance, and unwavering support throughout their legal journey. Some of the feedback I’ve received includes:

This firm is a standout and 'go to' for all aspects of family law.

I studied Law at the University of Surrey and undertook a Professional Training Year, where I worked at a fast-paced law firm in central Hong Kong and at the Intellectual Property Institute, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London, working alongside Lord Hoffmann and Professor Johanna Gibson. Thereafter, I attended the University of Law in London to complete the Legal Practice Course, before undertaking my training contract at a leading regional firm and qualifying as a Solicitor in 2017. I then joined Tees in late November 2020.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, I qualified and trained with the East of England Ambulance Service to be a volunteer Community First Responder. In my spare time, I continue to attend life threatening emergencies in my local community, providing emergency first aid before an ambulance arrives.
