View detailsIt's highly rewarding to support people with the money side of their lives.
Wise Monkey has pioneered a new holistic approach, where you learn how to help clients build confidence, feel calm and empowered, helping them transform this area of their lives and create habits and behaviours aligned to their desired outcomes.
Helping people transform their emotional relationship with money has far reaching benefits, going beyond the parameters of the financial.
It's wonderful work, ranging from information and guidance to providing considerable support to clients facing up to complex emotions around money or navigating deeper financial issues.
Financial coaching is a blend of generic guidance, mentoring and pure coaching - so there is a rich skillset for you to learn and grow into, and our trainees come from a wide range of backgrounds.

Why so passionate about Financial Coach training? We have a big vision.
Having started her own Financial Coaching practice twenty one years ago, Simonne Gnessen's passion for helping clients transform their relationship with money led to the development of Wise Monkey's Financial Coach Practitioner Certificate Training, teaching others the tools and skills to create their own Financial Coaching practice. You can read our story here.
Simonne and the Wise Monkey team have been busy growing this field for over a decade with warmth and professionalism.
Enhanced professional standards have now led to the creation of our Wise Monkey Code of Ethics, adopted by all independent financial coaches carrying Wise Monkey's Financial Coach Practitioner Certificate badge.
To date we have trained over 200 people, who share our values and vision.
Our trainings are immersive and intensive. We offer plenty of opportunity to embed your learning through coaching exercises, case study practice and break out room activities.
As financial coaching is a blend of generic guidance, mentoring and pure coaching, it can have profound benefits for your clients - practical as well as therapeutic.
In our experience, it’s in this unique combination that your clients will see real transformation in their lives.
That's why our rich curriculum combines many disciplines and tools
(and is unrivalled in the UK)
HEAR FROM OUR TRAINEES & SIMONNE
"Transformational"... "an incredible process"... "a tribe of like-minded people"...
"It was wonderful! The pace was great and the quality of training and materials was superb. Really lovely experience and brilliant teaching"
"It far exceeded my expectations. The quality of the trainers and the materials were exceptional"
"I can honestly say it was the most professionally, smooth running, interactive and engaging course I have been on"
"Excellent course - great delivery and fantastic resources. It has taken me outside of my comfort zone to the point of me feeling that I have really achieved something special"
"I now feel that I can deliver a really, really powerful experience"
The training felt … I’d say it was transformational, really, from where I was 6 months ago to where I am now. I now feel confident enough to take a client from point A to point B which is the conclusion and I now feel that I can deliver a really, really powerful experience for them.
Nick Thompson
"We'd found a tribe of like-minded people"
Every single person was really supportive and we felt like we’d found a tribe of really like-minded people. It was lovely. It feels like this is a long-term growth movement - community - with substance and longevity. Definitely do it, do the course. It’s brilliant.
