Constructive and helpful ways forward

Money Wellness where very helpful and listened carefully to everything I had to say. They were not judgemental in any way and after a very thorough breakdown of all my financial outgoings and difficulties were able to provide a detailed plan of the way forward. They also provided many useful suggestions on how to deal with all manner of financial difficulties, what to do in crisis situations and organisations that can help with these financial difficulties.

Fantastic Support - Highly Recommend

Fantastic support. I was so depressed and ashamed to take the first step. Money Wellness (Amaya) was very reassuring and made me feel comfortable, I was crying during my assessment and was embarrassed but Amaya was very reassuring, non-judgemental, treated me with respect and took the time to repeat or clarify things. Amaya made me feel in control again by the end of the call. There was no judgment, just kindness and understanding. Not only did she offer advice on financial issues but also sign-posted to further emotional support. I am waiting on the documents to review before they take the next steps. I highly recommend Money Wellness to anyone who is struggling or just needs some professional support and advice.
