On your side, every step of the way
Financial advice that’s built around you, not the other way round.
Our Philosophy
At Fairmile Financial Planning Limited, we believe good financial advice starts with understanding.
Not just your finances—but your life, your concerns, and what matters most to you.
Because money decisions are rarely just about money.
A Different Kind of Advice
We’re not here to instruct or overwhelm.
We’re here to guide.
Our role is to help you:
- Understand your current position
- Explore your options
- Make decisions you feel confident in
Think of us as your financial mentor—working alongside you, not talking at you.
What Makes Us Different
Advice you can trust. A relationship you can rely on. Calm, thoughtful guidance and explanations without jargon.

Helen believes financial advice should feel like a conversation, not a lecture.
Whether you’re an experienced investor or completely new to financial planning, her role is to help you understand your options clearly and confidently.

- Retirement planning for those approaching or already at retirement
- Financial planning during and after divorce
