Money coaching for individuals
Helping people understand and solve the common problems associated with money patterns and behaviour.
We all have money issues and very few of us understand our money behaviour. Some of these issues are making the future more difficult; some seem to make the present more difficult.
Money Coaching is step-by-step process that reveals and maps out your hidden patterns, behaviours and emotions around money. Because these patterns are unconscious, they drive your behaviour in ways that feel beyond your control or understanding. By exploring their origins and the challenges they bring, you can start to change these unconscious patterns and behaviours. By reducing the influence of the challenging ones and building up the positive ones, you transform your relationship with money.
The Money Coaching Core Process
The Money Coaching Core Process will show you how you are “hardwired” around money in ways that you are generally not fully conscious of. By the end of the fifth session, you will have a clear understanding of your core money patterns and their origins. With this awareness in place, you can begin to work on steps to improve the areas that are most troubling to you. We do this by:
- Exploring your money history to identify patterns & themes
- Understanding how your early experiences shaped your current money thoughts and habits
- Identifying the money patterns you inherited from your family, and the ones you created yourself
- Exploring any limiting beliefs in order to open up new possibilities
- Focusing on the most challenging patterns and behaviours
- Creating a plan for change
The Core Process consists of 4 x 90-minute sessions and 1 x 60-minute session.
You will also need to complete 4 exercises and the online Money-Type Quiz.
The cost is £1050.
The Core Process is the first step to creating lasting and meaningful change. Further support to continue building positive and conscious financial behaviours is available on an ongoing basis at a fixed hourly rate.

Money coaching for couples
Nowhere in most relationships is there more conflict than over money.
Money issues are the biggest cause of divorce and suicide. We enter into relationships with our unique money stories, but these are rarely discussed with our partners. Opposites may well attract but when our money stories clash we are left angry and confused. We don’t understand how the other person can think the way they do and why they can’t change their behaviour. The same patterns of conflict over money and money values repeat themselves as if we were reading from a script. Except that we don’t get to walk away, and money issues don’t resolve themselves.
If you and your partner find ourselves stuck endlessly repeating the same arguments and unable to have a healthy discussion about money, then you need Money Coaching. Couples Money Coaching will give you and your partner a clear understanding of your core money patterns and their origins, and show you how those patterns drive your behaviour around money. This process creates understanding, awareness and compassion, and teaches couples how to communicate in healthy, constructive ways regarding money and everything else. It will change your relationship with money and each other, enabling you to make better decisions and reduce anxiety, conflict and other negative emotions.

- Understanding how your early experiences shaped your current money thoughts and habits

Helping parents raise financially capable children
Money Coaching for Parents is a 1 hour talk that covers the six key steps to raising financially capable children.
If you want your child to develop a healthy relationship with something, you need to talk about it openly and model good behaviour. This is hard to do with money as we don’t have a framework for talking about it and it makes a lot of people deeply uncomfortable. Not talking about something means that you are not giving your children any positive guidance, and this makes it far more difficult for them to know what the right behaviour should be.
Money is money. What’s different now?
There are a number of reasons why it is critical that your children learn how to manage their finances. These are just some of them:
- There is far more pressure from media and society to spend money and to believe that having things will make you happy.
- Freely available credit and online shopping make it really easy to spend money you don’t have.
- Data from their online activity is being used to target your children at the individual level.
- Your children’s working lives will be far less secure than yours and they will need to develop positive financial behaviours early on. Most of them will start their careers with large debts.
- Cash is disappearing and it’s much harder to understand how something works when it doesn’t physically exist.
- Our financial lives have become more complex and the responsibility for managing them has been shifted back to the individual.

I was able to use what I’d learned to change my everyday habits for the better and take back control. I’m now feeling less anxious and more positive about my financial future.
Working with Dennis over the last 6 weeks has brought about a new relationship with money. He helped me to understand why myself and others react in certain ways to situations. This has allowed me to address the challenges in a clearer way going forwards.
I really enjoyed working with Dennis on an area of my life that had always been somewhat problematic. I’m now thinking more clearly and rationally about my relationship with money and this is in no small measure a result of working through some deep seated issues – highly recommended!
Every time after a session with Dennis I feel like I am standing on a huge open road and the path in front of me is clear and full of opportunities, and I know exactly what I am supposed to do.
Huge thank you, Dennis! You made a real difference in my life.
I can’t express enough gratitude for the incredible experience I’ve had with my money coach. Working with Dennis has been a game-changer for my financial well-being and mindset. His expertise and personalized approach have empowered me to take control of my finances in ways I never thought possible.
Money Coaching has helped me to understand not only what drives my own spending patterns and fears, but also those of my partner. In so doing it has given me the tools necessary to recognise potential conflict, talk about it and reach consensus. Excellent stuff!
Dennis’s non-judgemental and insightful way of teaching and his compassionate manner helped me explore my attitudes around money, something that I had previously been too afraid to do.Having done these money coaching sessions, I find that I’m more confident dealing with money issues and I have learnt ways to manage the belief that made me afraid to make certain decisions around money.
I am so grateful, Dennis, for all the help you have me to feel so much lighter and confident around money.
My coaching sessions with Dennis have genuinely changed my life. Through our work I learnt that my relationship with money was not my “fault,” and being freed from that shame allowed me to have the compassion and acceptance I needed to see that relationship as something I could change completely.
I’m so pleased that I took a step outside my comfort zone and got in touch with Dennis for some money coaching. The sessions helped me gain a better insight into my relationship with money. I left with a positive sense of direction for the future.
I wish I had found Dennis years ago! Working with him has made a huge difference to my relationship with money. He is deeply compassionate and non-judgemental and has helped me understand my problematic ways of dealing with finances.
Money Coaching has helped me better understand my relationship with money and allowed me to initiate an effective pattern of control with money, rather than a reactive one. This is true within my family life and in my creative business.
