The term you should be looking for here is
Independent Financial Advisor.
However, I personally don't believe for a second that such things exist. All Financial Advisors have a bias of some kind and a great many get commissions from steering you toward specific savings/investment mechanisms.
What you must do therefore is contact a few and ask if they will give you free advice but that they should be clear that on the day, you will not, on principle, sign up to any investment scheme they advise, and that you are only wanting his/her inputs on that day.
I think you will still find some candidates but of course they may want to make a charge for their time.
