About financial counselling

Get free, non-judgmental support.

It's our mission to support an ecosystem where individuals experiencing financial difficulty can find help from a financial counsellor. Financial counsellors are qualified professionals who provide free and independent advice, support, and information to people in financial stress. They are not financial advisers - they don't advise on investments - and they never charge for their services.
