Please provide a brief comment about your experience with Graham
‘first impressions’ - the value in booking a 30-minute chat with Graham - Graham's communication beforehand to clarify my expectations was an elite tier of experience. During the chat itself, I deeply appreciated that he didn't try to control the direction or project his own views. Truly listened, and that gave me the space to find my own focus. I enjoyed reading Graham's website blog and learnt a thing or two.
Graham:
I really appreciate this feedback, thank you. I'm glad you found our chat helpful and, importantly, not led by me. It's a really important component of coaching that you should feel empowered and not to become dependent or overly influenced. It's also great to hear that you found my blog articles useful. Thanks again!Review

I was looking to find a different and more effective way of managing my money post a house purchase.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, Graham’s service helped me to achieve all the outcomes I was hoping for.
Graham:

It's great to hear that you feel better able to plan for the future and that your spending has become more intentional. It was really lovely to work with you and witness the shift in how you make the most of your money. My very best wishes, Graham.Review

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for a financial coach?
I've never felt brave enough to look at my finances in any detail so, in my early sixties, I decided I needed help.
How has Graham Wells helped you?
Graham is excellent at understanding what is going wrong, making practical suggestions at how to take control and most of all how to understand where my money is going, and what to do about it.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
The outcomes that we talked about in our first session were all achieved in the year that we worked together.
What could they have done better?
I didn't feel there were any areas where things could have been done better. A satisfied client!
Graham:
I really appreciate you taking the time to summarise how you found our work together. So many people feel confusion, fear, guilt and a whole host of other emotions when it comes to money, so coaching is a safe space to work through it at your own pace. I'm delighted you achieved the outcomes you set out to achieve when we first spoke. It's been a real pleasure and I look forward to our continued check-ins to keep things on track. Thanks again, Graham.Review

Yes, I have achieved what I wanted from the coaching. My starting point to my end point feels like a real transformation.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for a financial coach?
I’m looking for a life change but knew I didn’t need a Financial Adviser as my investments have largely already been made. What I needed was someone who could help me plan what I could do in my life, using those investments.
How has Graham Wells helped you?
Graham helped me understand how I could live a different life, one that didn’t involve me doing exactly the same job, in the same place, in the same routine, until the magical retirement date arrived. Graham is able to model scenarios based on how I want my life to be, not what I think it has to be. It’s life-changing.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
I’ve seen more than I imagined. Using all the data, which is easy to come by, Graham was able to show me what is possible.
What could they have done better?
I don’t think I could have asked for anything more.
Graham:
I really appreciate you taking the time to summarise how our work together has become life-changing. Thank you. When you look at life through the lens of money, getting clarity on your options can build the confidence to make bold decisions. Making the most of opportunities and avoiding regrets is important stuff! It's a pleasure working with you and thanks again for the review.
