I have specialist experience of assisting individuals who have sustained a head injury to pursue compensation claims.
I understand the importance of an holistic approach to helping people who have a head injury. Clients can be surprised by the services I am often able to offer to aid them through their difficulties. For example, obtaining funds throughout the duration of the claim to meet financial needs, arranging additional treatment to complement services provided by the NHS and organising practical support.

Spare time and hobbies
For exercise I enjoy attending Pilates classes and going for long walks particularly in the Lake District. On a weekly basis I attend an outdoor fitness class with an ex-army instructor which takes place in various parks in Newcastle.
I love cooking and like to bake cakes in particular. Every month I attend the North East Young Women's Institute where I learn a variety of different skills from self defence techniques to cake decorating!
