Testimonials

Individual clients

"Thanks for the meeting, which was excellent, and your messages. You are frighteningly good! We suddenly feel like experts in a field that has always intimidated us." John, director of development

"I feel very grateful to Simonne for all she has done over the years. She has contributed enormously to our happiness and peace of mind in financial matters." Sylvette, retired

"I think you really offer a fantastic sensitive and informative service, especially for people like myself who are new to the financial world (almost feel ashamed to say that being nearly 50 yrs old!) and in need of a reasonable amount of support in this area. You bridge the gap between the investor and their potential investment manager/financial dealer – a divide which many people who are new to dealing with finances find intimidating and frightening to cross. I feel really comfortable and secure in the knowledge that you are out there if I need to talk something financial over with you - great!"Joy

"Meetings with Simonne have been very helpful. At the end of each meeting I had a clear list of things to do and all the suggestions made were useful and relevant. My finances were a complete mess before I met Simonne and now I feel that they are in as good a state as they could be for my current circumstances, Thank you!" Hilary, Scientist

"Simonne has an impressive knowledge of personal finances and I found this expertise really valuable to help me make sense of my current financial situation. I would have no hesitation recommending Simonne to others - she offers a knowledgeable and friendly service.” London fundraiser

"I've been thinking over past day or so of times in my life which could have gone very differently if I'd had your input. Your work is very important. Above all, putting money and money management into the mental health frame. I don't think anybody's done that yet - and then making it real by enabling solution in the future rather than shame for the past." Jane

“The most valuable aspect of our sessions so far has been feeling that I could be honest about my situation and that I wasn't being judged. It was a relief to discuss things that I'd never been able to share with anyone before. Your calm and professional manner inspires confidence.” Sue, self-employed

"I have found your service really helpful and you, very sympathetic indeed, The reasonable fee makes it possible (and financially worthwhile) for even those desperate people who will have come to you as a last resort. Added to this, your work is much like a therapist or counsellor and I have found you to be as supportive as they would be and very clever in immersing yourself into one's pathetic financial problems, right down to the last detail. I really do quite look forward to squirreling away tiny sums and have already, in the past week or two, enjoyed scouring round for the cheapest everything and resisting all temptations to buy just a little tiny treat. I feel very much more aware and in control. So . . . many, many thanks" Mary, retired

"The process has been very useful and exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to change the way I thought about money. What I was not looking for was someone telling me I was spending too much or not earning enough and this did not happen. The small changes we made together enabled me to make much greater life changes that have really made a difference." Tanya, occupational psychologist and coach

"Simonne offers an excellent service. She's helped me to manage my money in a way that enables me to make the personal and career decisions I want. Her advice is very practical and sensible and I feel confident in her ability to give sound advice." Cath, Travel writer

"Thanks so much for all your help Simonne. You helped to inspire a sense of empowerment in my own life and an ability to take control of it." Juliet, youth worker

"One session has made a profound and fundamental difference in terms of clarifying my financial vision for the future, ‘cleaning up’ my current financial state (including how to best apply a recent bonus to create the future and clear up the past!), and I feel energised and drawn to have a session with you at least once a quarter (at a minimum!) to help ensure I’m keeping on track and managing potential ‘blind spots’ in my spending and investment patterns. I feel confident you already have started to help me provide a framework to think about my finances in a way that is building a self-sustaining skill every time we connect. Looking forward to working with you in the days to come." Director, London Management Consultancy Firm

"Thank you Simonne. I found our session extremely useful! The tools and information were fantastic. I have a clear picture of my vision and action tasks to achieve this. Your input has helped to give me real clarity about what I need to do and how to achieve it realistically!" Sacha

"I have found Simonne's advice concerning financial matters invaluable over the past few years. By being a truly independent mentor her proposals and recommendations are realistic and tailored to my needs and situation." Stephanie, pharmacist

"I feel happier about money now. It's no longer a guilty secret. I'm now able to take control of my spending habits and take responsibility for them. I feel a lot happier in life because I know where I'm going, rather than shoving the problem in a drawer." Sarah, speech and language therapist

"My money situation is now totally under control. I don't have a spending problem anymore. Thank you for changing my life." Clodagh, sales director

"I now have an idea about what I need to do for financial planning in the short, medium and long term. It has made me realise that I need to spend more time on this area of my life, and take it more seriously - no more putting it off for the future!'' Fiona, PR consultant

"After our meeting, I not only had the information I needed but came away feeling more confident and knowing exactly where to start to set myself up as self-employed." Mems, researcher

"Thanks for your assistance - it really helped me put things into perspective; the 'kick-start' that I needed!" Diane, life coach
