Whatever help you need, my team and I are here for you.
Since December 2019, we have completed over 26,000 pieces of casework, supporting constituents on issues covering everything from child support to street lighting, and potholes to visa issues.
We have helped businesses navigate regulations, brought tricky issues direct to Ministers, and even managed to change case law to support people who have been let down by the system.
Whether we can help you directly, or put you in touch with someone who can, please do get in touch using the form below.

Advice surgeries are always fascinating and the best, and sometimes most challenging part of my job. I hold surgeries every week from my office in Cavendish Street, or via Zoom.
If you’d like to book an appointment and ask a question, get help with an issue, or have a chat, please get in touch with my team by completing the form at the bottom of this page.

We’re fortunate to live in such an amazing community. One which looks out for each other and wraps it’s arms around one another.
There’s lots of great work going on locally to help people through mental health challenges. My team and I have created a mental health guide which has a directory of some of the local support services on offer and few handy guides for looking after your mental and physical health at the moment.
