“I can't thank you enough for your support with this. It can't have been easy to get to grips with our complex situation over the phone but your very clear understanding and advice was so helpful to us and gave us confidence to handle this situation well. We won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone else in similar situations”
Cleo has experience working in criminal law, family and child law, social care and the Court of Protection.
Her background is in Psychology; she has always been passionate about human behaviour and mental health. She has a BA in Applied Psychology and Sociology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology, and an MSc in Forensic Psychology. Cleo has worked at The Priory Psychiatric hospital, various mental health charities, in Probation, and as a senior support worker to offenders with mental health issues. Along with the opportunity to help people in crisis, working in these challenging environments has taught her to remain calm under pressure, adapt to situations quickly, and be extremely organised.
She always found the legal aspects of this work fascinating, and has now been fortunate enough to change career so that she can utilise her knowledge and organisational skills in the field of Law.
In her spare time Cleo loves singing, travelling and playing pool. She is a big film buff and loves a good crime book or biography. Cleo likes to do volunteer work and has helped a number of charities and causes. She also has a toddler who helps keep her active!
