Catherine is an experienced divorce and family solicitor based in Stoke on Trent, working with clients across Staffordshire, Cheshire and beyond. With over 25 years in family law, she has built a reputation for delivering clear, calm and constructive advice, helping people make sense of even the most difficult family situations.
Catherine supports clients facing a wide range of issues, from divorce and financial settlements to complex arrangements for children and concerns about domestic abuse. She understands the emotional strain separation can bring and is committed to guiding clients with empathy, while staying firmly focused on practical solutions.
A trained collaborative lawyer, Catherine strongly believes that even in challenging circumstances, there are ways to resolve disputes without the delay and cost of court proceedings. She works with clients from the very beginning to identify what really matters to them and to find any shared ground with the other party. By doing so, she helps build agreements that enable everyone involved to move on with their lives and, where relevant, maintain positive co-parenting relationships for the future.
Catherine routinely explores mediation, solicitor-led negotiation, and the collaborative process, and where necessary, promotes the use of arbitration to avoid the lengthy timescales and costs that court applications can involve.
She explains: “I am committed to helping people focus on the issues that truly matter, so they can move forward. I see my role as improving communication, not fuelling disagreements.”
Clients value Catherine’s steady, thoughtful advice and her ability to break down complex situations into manageable steps. Her straightforward and approachable style has led many to recommend her to others, something she takes great pride in.
Catherine qualified as a solicitor in December 1999 and joined Woolley & Co in November 2012 after working in respected family law firms across the region.
Outside of work, Catherine enjoys spending time with her family, exploring North Wales, and keeping up with the demands of her dog, Lucy, on long countryside walks.
