financial coaching…
empowering people in money mattersAbout Wise Monkey Financial Coaching
Our mission is to:
- Demystify the world of finance
- Relieve you of stress relating to your financial worries
- Help you use money effectively so you can reach your highest aspirations in life
Wise Monkey Financial Coaching was founded by Simonne Gnessen in 2002 after working as a fee-based independent financial adviser for 10 yrs.
"I stepped away from the traditional industry because I felt there was a need for guidance and support relating to money that had nothing to do with selling products." Simonne acquired additional skills through the fields of coaching, psychology and personal development, to complement her practical financial skills and knowledge.
She broke new ground by designing a completely different type of service to the traditional financial services model - one that focuses on empowering clients in money matters, helping them transform their relationship with money and ultimately create financial plans that allow them to live more balanced and fulfilling lives.
Wise Monkey is now the leading provider of financial coaching services in the UK.
The Wise Monkey service offers value, regardless of your level of income. It's a sales-free service with fees currently charged at £85 per hour, reducing for clients we work with regularly. We use an approach that is both intuitive and non-judgmental, employing a blend of coaching methods that are proven to bring about lasting personal change.
Wise Monkey has been featured in many newspapers and magazines, including: The Financial Mail On Sunday, The Times, The Telegraph, The Independent, The Daily Express, Which? magazine, Psychologies, Red, She, Zest, Glamour, Woman’s Own, Woman & Home, The Scotsman, Brighton Insight, Brighton Rocks and The Argus. She has also been interviewed on BBC News 24, The One Show and several BBC radio stations.
