Types of protection
Cover designed around your life
Understanding the different types of protection available is the first step to keeping your family secure. Here are the three that matter most.
Life Insurance
Pays a lump sum or regular income to your loved ones if you pass away during the policy term — essential if you have dependants, a mortgage or other financial commitments.
- Covers your mortgage so your family keeps their home
- A financial safety net for your partner and children
- Level term or decreasing term options
- Can be written in trust to avoid inheritance tax delays
Critical Illness Cover
Pays a tax-free lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a specified serious illness — money that’s yours to use however you need, from clearing the mortgage to covering everyday costs while you recover.
- Covers conditions such as cancer, heart attack and stroke
- Paid on diagnosis, not on death
- Standalone or added to your life insurance
- Financial breathing space while you recover
Income Protection
Replaces part of your income if illness or injury stops you working. Unlike critical illness cover, it pays a monthly benefit — and can keep paying until you return to work or reach retirement.
- Typically replaces 50–70% of your gross income
- Pays out monthly, just like a salary
- Covers virtually any illness or injury that stops you working
- Short-term and long-term options available
Why this matters to me
A personal perspective.
I never thought I’d become my own case study for why protection insurance matters. But here I am — and if sharing my story helps even one person take this seriously, it’s worth it.
It started with headaches. Not the usual kind — mind-blowing, stop-you-in-your-tracks headaches. I went for a scan and, honestly, I think part of me already knew something wasn’t right. When my consultant said, “Do you want to come and sit in this room?” — and then asked, “Have you got anyone with you?” — I just said, “Just spit it out and tell me what’s wrong.”
A brain tumour. It’s very hard to describe how you feel hearing those words. A million thoughts go through your mind at once. Your family. Your kids. Your mortgage. Your future. Everything you thought was certain suddenly isn’t.
In that moment, the last thing you want to worry about is money. How will the mortgage get paid? What happens if I can’t work? How do I provide for my family while I focus on getting better? These are the exact questions protection insurance answers — and from personal experience, having that safety net in place makes an unimaginable situation just that little bit more manageable. It doesn’t take the fear away, but it removes the financial panic.
I’m sharing this because I want every client to understand this isn’t a box-ticking exercise. Critical illness cover, life insurance and income protection exist for moments exactly like the one I’m living through. Nobody plans to get seriously ill, but having a plan in place for when life throws the worst at you is one of the most important things you can do for the people who depend on you.
If my experience helps even one family avoid financial stress on top of a health crisis, then sharing it is worth it. Let me help you put the right protection in place — because you just never know.
