‘I felt it was very bespoke to my needs. That never issue to call and not judge at all. I was given fair advice and I felt the team always put my best interests first. They advise me long term about the choices I was making now and how I can have balance and more happy life. I was able to my true self and involved my family but I always made the final decisions but I was accompanied with having my family there if needed. Use of google drives, online forms and billing made everything simple – about work around my busy life and I felt all was safe in one place.
