A New Chapter

As a financial planner with more than 30 years’ experience, I am drawn to working with clients who have found themselves facing life without a partner.

My free book, A New Chapter, is your ultimate guide to restoring a solid financial future after divorce or bereavement.

Covering financial topics like investing, pensions, and budgeting as well as the complex emotional territory that comes with handling your finances after loss, A New Chapter offers you a roadmap from bewilderment to confidence.
