“Thank you for your support and understanding, I have felt reassured and comforted by your advice and I shall be recommending you to my friends if they need family advice.”

“Thank you for everything you have done for me and for always making me feel better when I felt like giving up.”

“What can I say…? Such a massive thank you for all you have done for me and for seeing this awful saga through to the end. Words cannot express my gratitude for all your kindness, thoughtfulness and pastoral care. You truly are one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to meet.”

“Inspiring! …..and thank you for picking me up off the floor when I was at the lowest ebb when I was divorcing the narcissist. A few years have gone by and am glad to report I am happy and free! Thank you for your help back then.”

“Before talking to Julie I was rather confused about what a prenuptial/cohabitation agreement actually was. Julie made it all really clear and practical – the how, when and why it is important to set up for couples before tying the knot/moving in together. I am reassured about the steps to take and while I can see it is very easy to overlook (like making a will or LPA) it’s all about being responsible. Thank you Julie!”
