I found Goodman Ray at a moment when I was truly at rock bottom and in an extremely vulnerable position. I had reached out in many directions, unsure where to turn, and somehow Marie Campbell found me. From that very first contact, she stepped in with warmth, clarity, and determination, and has been nothing short of a guardian angel ever since. She took the time to really understand my situation, treated me with compassion and respect, and made me feel supported when I felt completely overwhelmed.
Marie has gone far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect, both professionally and personally. She has been meticulous, tireless, and deeply committed, always ensuring I understood each step and never leaving me feeling alone in the process. Importantly, this care extended beyond Marie herself the wider Goodman Ray team have been consistently professional, responsive, and supportive throughout, working seamlessly together on my behalf.
