Karen Thornley

Independent Financial, Care and Later Life Adviser

I have been working as an Independent Financial Adviser since the early 1990s, offering my clients a trusted and enduring personal service grounded in decades of experience. I specialise in providing tailored advice across a range of areas, including investments (such as pensions, trusts, ISAs and Investment Bonds), tax-efficient income strategies in retirement, Inheritance Tax Planning, and Later Life Advice, including funding for lifetime care fees.

I also support those acting under Enduring or Lasting Power of Attorney, Court-Appointed Deputies and fellow professional advisers—helping them navigate complex decisions with confidence and clarity.

Outside of work, I live with my husband near the borders of Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire, where we enjoy the company of our dogs and rescue chickens. I find joy in gardening, exploring beautiful outdoor spaces, walking the dogs, and singing in a contemporary choir. I treasure time with my seven grandchildren, who keep life wonderfully lively.
