Financial Coaching

Our financial coaches are here to support you in building lasting financial wellbeing and resilience,
helping you take practical steps toward your financial goals.
Financial Coaching isn’t just about numbers. It’s about understanding the emotional and behavioural aspects of money.

Emotional Spending

Explore the psychological triggers behind impulsive purchases and learn strategies to make mindful spending decisions.

Money Mindset

Shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset, fostering healthier relationships with money and reducing anxiety. 

Building Good Habits

Identify unhealthy financial behaviours and develop strategies to break cycles of overspending or procrastination. 

Overcoming Financial Stress

Learn techniques to manage financial stress, build resilience, and avoid emotional reactions that can lead to poor financial choices. 

Whether you’re aiming to pay off credit card debt, build an emergency fund, save for your child’s education, or finally take that dream vacation, our financial coaching service is here to help you reach your goals.

What financial coaching is

Financial coaching is online, and you can do the sessions in your own home. The sessions will be run one-on-one with a dedicated coach.

The sessions are run in a conversational style, with the coaches asking you questions and sharing some activities to uncover your own behaviours and mindset towards your personal finances.

The coaches offer non-judgemental support tailored to your specific situation and will help you create your plan, usually made up of small, achievable steps.

Your sessions are completely confidential. The conversations you have are a safe space to express your goals for creating a more financially secure future.

… and what it’s not

This is not about budgets, unless you want it to be. You do not need to disclose any financial details or bank statements if you are not comfortable doing so. 

The service is not all about your debts. The coaches will look at your financial situation as a whole, so you get to look at the big picture.

This is not a financial planning service. The coaches are not financial planners, so they won’t be recommending products or giving you financial advice. They’re qualified financial coaches and work instead on sharing tools and plans, so you come out with a clearer picture of where you want to go. 

Take our quiz and a financial coach will be in touch.

Our financial coaching model has been designed to meet the broad and various needs of all people within our communities to improve their financial resilience and wellbeing.

Taylor’s Testimonial

I have enjoyed our sessions.
It’s been great to be able to have someone caring and understanding to speak to and I felt it was a safe environment for me to discuss money and my life.

Amina’s Testimonial

Since I started coaching, I have paid off my credit card, increased my savings and getting a much
better rate, I have a plan to refinance, I have set goals that I can achieve but most importantly I have learned that I can say no.

Jarran‘s Testimonial

The financial coaching I received this past 5 months has helped me and my family strengthen bonds
and helped set goals in day to day living also. I feel more confident in making life choices and
commitments to discipline.

Susie’s Testimonial

I didn’t think I’d get so emotional talking about money, but it’s been helpful. I want to move past this and on with my life. I like when my coach said money is a tool to help us get to where we want – I never thought about it like that.
