How can I help you?

I am a COP Executive in the Court of Protection Team.  I support the Head of Department /  Deputy with day-to-day responsibilities which range from making lay deputy applications to the Court, meeting with clients and their families, case managers and supports workers, financial advisors and many other organisations. I assist with every day lifestyle choices and decisions, working in a client’s best interests at all times to ensure a positive outcome is reached..

A little about me.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and my dog.  We enjoy going on walks together and experiencing the great outdoors.  I am quite adventurous and have in fact flown a gyroplane.  An unusual fact about me is my obsession with cows and the fact that I find them to be amazing, beautiful animals. 

The favourite part of my job is striving to make a positive difference to a persons’ life and ensure their needs are met on a daily basis.

My experience.

I am a Court of Protection Executive with over 10 years experience in this particular area of law.  I work with clients living with dementia and Alzheimer’s.  I also deal with clients who have suffered brain injuries whether that be at birth or as a result of negligence or accidents.  I actively engage with family members and case managers in my role and endeavour to make a positive difference to my clients and thoroughly enjoy learning more about their needs.
