Why this matters

Based in Brighton, working across the South East, in person

How advocacy complements professional services
Take Brenda, for example. She had excellent legal support, but needed someone she could trust to help with everyday admin during a difficult time. Someone to walk alongside her and turn advice into action.
TESTIMONIALS
I had no idea how to deal with a situation. I would panic, worried I would say or do something wrong. I trust Kirsti 100%. I have no-one else to turn to that I trust. I hadn't realised my mobile phone company were charging me for a landline phone package - I don't have a landline!
Brenda Basnet
A fantastic result when Kirsti stood by me! Kirsti gave me the confidence and backup to negotiate a very complicated
insurance claim. It enabled me to drive through all the red tape and claim
what I was due. Guiding, Supportive, Focused, Excellent outcome.
Sheila Rantor
I felt completely overwhelmed by my paperwork and financial commitments. It seemed like every time I needed an important document, I couldn’t find it. Kirsti’s organisation changed everything. She patiently went through my insurance policies, bank accounts, and even my utility bills, helping me centralise everything into a system that I now use every day.

My
Story
Hello, I’m Kirsti Cox. I’m passionate about helping individuals - particularly seniors - navigate today's digital world. It infuriates me that some businesses take advantage of older people, and I often hear, “Just because I’m old, it doesn’t make me stupid.” This reality fuels my determination to protect seniors and ensure they receive the respect and guidance they deserve.
We are a team of financial professionals and civil servants guided by our strong moral compass, providing compassionate, judgment-free, unbiased support for those seeking trusted, personalised solutions- backed by nine years of financial advisory experience.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting friends, neighbours, and clients as they navigated the challenges of life admin and technology. I’ve witnessed firsthand how frustrating and isolating it can be, especially for those who feel left behind by modern digital tools or lack nearby family to assist them. What truly drives me is my deep frustration with how often people are taken advantage of simply because they aren’t as tech-savvy as younger generations.
I understand how daunting it can feel when everything requires an app, a password, or an online form. I also know how uncomfortable it is to repeatedly ask family for help—or how isolating it feels when there’s no one to turn to. That’s why I created Kirsti Cox Advocacy: to provide trusted, professional support tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel empowered and back in control of your life.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to get in touch to explore how I can support you. Whether you’re interested in one of my bespoke services or simply want to learn more, I’m here to help.
Contact me today for a no-pressure, confidential conversation about your needs and how I can assist you.

Everything she does is built on trust, clarity, and doing what’s right, even if it means recommending someone else. DBS checked (Basic Disclosure), fully insured, and committed to complete client confidentiality. While not yet a member of the Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA), Kirsti supports their values around ethical, person-centred financial guidance.

What makes Kirsti Cox Advocacy different from a carer, solicitor, or support worker?Kirsti Cox Advocacy offers a unique service that bridges the gap between formal care, legal guidance, and practical everyday support. Kirsti is not a carer, so she doesn’t provide medical or personal care. She’s not a solicitor, so she doesn’t give legal advice. And she’s not a support worker tied to any public service or organisation. Instead, Kirsti works directly with clients to provide the trusted, impartial help they actually need. Whether that’s organising paperwork, preparing for legal or medical appointments, or supporting them through complex decisions with clarity and care.
-
Does Kirsti bridge the gap between care, legal, and everyday support?Yes, this is exactly where Kirsti’s advocacy service is positioned. Many people find themselves needing help that doesn’t clearly fall under social care, legal aid, or traditional support services. Kirsti steps into that space, offering practical, trustworthy, and confidential assistance with the real life challenges that don’t always have a clear solution. This might include acting as a professional next of kin, supporting clients through hospital visits, helping with online accounts, or navigating important life decisions. Her role is to provide practical and emotional support that’s completely independent and without agenda.
-
Can Kirsti help if someone doesn’t qualify for social care or legal aid?Absolutely. If someone doesn't meet the criteria for state-funded support, but they still feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to turn. Kirsti offers a bespoke, one-to-one service designed to fill that gap. Whether someone is dealing with a bereavement, divorce, family breakdown, or simply facing complicated paperwork or systems alone, Kirsti offers calm, capable support that empowers her clients to move forward with confidence.
-
Who uses Kirsti Cox Advocacy, people with care needs, legal issues, or just life admin overload?All of the above. Kirsti works with a wide range of individuals, including older adults without nearby family, people going through separation, those with neurodiverse needs, and busy professionals trying to support loved ones. Her clients often describe feeling stuck or unsure where to turn. Whether they need one-off support or ongoing help, Kirsti provides practical, grounded advocacy that’s tailored to each person’s circumstances, with empathy, professionalism, and no judgment.
