Financial Coaches in East Hertfordshire
Affordable guidance to help you make the right moves with your money
Financial coaching is different from financial advice. A coach doesn't tell you what to do with your money, they help you understand your financial situation, build a plan you believe in, and stay on track. In East Hertfordshire, Delphina's financial coaches work with people who want to take control of their retirement planning but don't need or can't justify the cost of regulated financial advice. Coaching sessions focus on your specific situation, your goals, and the practical steps to get there.
Frequently asked questions
What does a financial coach do?
A financial coach helps you understand your situation, set goals, build a plan you believe in, and stay accountable to it. Sessions are practical: your numbers, your options, your next steps. Unlike a regulated adviser, a coach doesn't recommend specific products; they build your ability to decide well yourself.
How much does a financial coach cost in the UK?
Typically £50-150 per session, with no percentage-of-assets fees. Compare that with £150+ per hour for regulated advice or 0.5-1% of your assets every year for an ongoing adviser relationship. Delphina starts with a free 15 minute call, so you can judge the fit before spending anything.
Do I need a financial coach or a financial adviser?
Ask what's actually blocking you. If it's clarity, habits, or confidence ("am I on track?", "what should I prioritise?"), a coach solves that affordably. If it's a specific regulated decision (which pension to transfer, which product to buy), you need an FCA-authorised adviser. Many people use a coach first, and advice only at the decision point.
Is financial coaching regulated?
No. Financial coaching sits outside FCA regulation because coaches don't make personal recommendations about specific financial products. That's a feature and a limitation: it keeps coaching affordable and education-focused, but it means a coach should always tell you when a decision crosses into regulated territory, and Delphina's coaches do.
