Monetary Psychotherapy
- Money and emotions are deeply intertwined. - Monetary Psychotherapy is intended for individuals who experience emotional and psychological stress related to financial matters. - Financial behaviours and financial narratives develop over time, shaped by personal experiences, familial influences, and cultural contexts. - Each individual possesses a financial narrative, and it is essential to understand your own, the factors that contributed to its development and the underlying emotional & psychological factors influencing your financial behaviours. - The emphasis of Monetary Psychotherapy lies in the ability to comprehend and navigate the emotional and psychological dimensions of an individual's relationship with money, facilitating the cultivation of a more constructive mindset and enabling more rational financial choices. - Monetary Psychotherapy differs from the roles of a financial advisor or financial counsellor, as it does not involve providing financial and investment advice.

FAQs
Is Financial Psychotherapy the same as a financial coach, financial advisor or financial counsellor?
No it is not. A financial coach, financial advisor or financial counsellor generally focus on financial goals and actions to achieve those goals. Monetary psychotherapy focuses on the emotional and psychological patterns relating to money. Monetary Psychotherapy focuses on our mindset relating to money and the anxieties associated with it. When appropriate specialised financial coaches/advisors/counsellors will be incorporated into our discussions and consultations.
