Control your finances.

Feel better.

Learning to effectively budget gives you clarity, stability, and confidence that your spending is aligned with *your* priorities.

Tailored budget coaching available in English and BSL

Paul’s one to one coaching offers the chance to acquire a whole new money mindset with non-judgemental guidance rooted in empathy and self-compassion.

  • Struggling with Debt?

    Coming to terms with the realities of your financial situation can be overwhelming, especially if you’ve been actively burying your head in the sand (something I’ve been guilty of in the past!)

    It can be difficult doing this alone, and following a structured coaching programme can lend you support and accountability.

    Turning things around isn’t always easy. But I promise that the stress of awareness is always better than the stress of ignorance. Especially if you have a solid plan for change.

  • Living Payday to Payday?

    Breathing a sigh of relief as you hit payday and suddenly have the money to cover (some of) the expenses you’ve been waiting to cover feels good… but the climbing anxiety and worry as those last few days of trying to make every penny count can be genuinely damaging to your mental health.

    Learning how to effectively level those ups and downs and break that cycle will do wonders for not only your bank balance and financial resilience, but for your personal wellbeing too.

  • Living on a Variable, or Irregular Income?

    The feeling of swinging between financial feast and famine is familiar to freelancers, small business owners, those working on commission, and many others.

    Without a proper understanding of your money, it can be hard to know how to strike the balance in the good times, so that you have a safety net during the lean months.

Take control of your money.

Coaching with Paul will give you the tools to monitor, understand, and effectively control your spending.

Together you can create a budget tailored to your financial situation, and your personal needs. One which will evolve and grow along with your goals for the future.

Coaching Packages

  • Whether you want to pay down debt, save effectively for a big purchase, or just break the feeling of constantly treading water with your money and living paycheck to paycheck…

    Three live sessions spaced over six weeks, with ad-hoc email/text support throughout the package duration.

    From: £180

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.

    From: £220

  • After our initial work together, some clients like to arrange further ad-hoc sessions to keep themselves accountable and to discuss their evolving financiaal goals as time goes by. Existing clients can get in touch any time to discuss their ongoing needs.

  • Have you tried YNAB before and struggled to understand the method, or stick to budgeting? Or maybe you just feel you could be getting more out of YNAB?

    Take a session to talk through the method, and the app, and make either of these fit with your circumstances and lifestyle. We’ll talk through any issues you have and make a plan together to get you back on track and live your best budgeting life.

    From: £85

All coaching packages include:

  • An initial profiling questionnaire to help me tailor my coaching to meet your needs

  • At least two months use of the YNAB software

  • A copy of the YNAB book

  • A set of self-reflective exercises to help you discover your financial values and spending priorities.

I coach following the YNAB (You Need A Budget) method, which is based on approaches traditionally known as Zero-Based, or Envelope Budgeting. I have undertaken YNAB’s Certified Coaching Programme and been assessed and accredited as meeting their high standards.

While YNAB principally presents itself as a paid budgeting app (one I use personally and highly recommend as a tool for making your budgeting journey much easier), at its core - it’s a methodology and set of rules that can be applied in a spreadsheet or even on pen and paper, should you choose.

All of my coaching packages include three months use of the YNAB app for new users, or two months additional free use for existing users.
