I know what it’s like to struggle financially. I grew up in a tiny terrace house in south-east London with my mum and two older brothers in the 1970s and early 1980s. Money was always tight and we lived in a constant state of financial distress and worry.

I had my own financial struggles in my early 20s, when a combination of uncontrolled spending and the property downturn in the early 1990s caused me to be deep in debt.

I eventually managed to learn the skills to master money, which enabled me to achieve financial independence when I was 48. I now work because I want to, not because I have to.

I am a professionally qualified personal finance expert with extensive practical experience and a deep understanding of the latest behavioural and psychological research.

I am a Chartered Fellow of both the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment and the Personal Finance Society. I had a 25-year career as a financial adviser.

I am a published author, Financial Times personal finance columnist, host of the Real Money Stories podcast and a Keynote speaker on financial wellbeing.

I was Head of Financial Education at Salary Finance, the workplace financial wellbeing provider for nearly seven years, where I oversaw the financial wellbeing support available to around 4 million UK employees from companies like TUI, Mitie, BT, Sainsbury's, DHL, Co-op, and many NHS Trusts and local authorities.
