About Kim Uzzell - Personal Money Coaching and Psychology That Goes Beyond Numbers
Life is never straightforward. And Money is never just about money.
I’ve spent over 35 years working with people and their money - in boardrooms, around kitchen tables, and through the middle of crisis and celebration.
And the reality is that most financial decisions have very little to do with logic.
They have everything to do with emotion, identity, control, grief, power, survival, and what’s really going on under the surface.
That’s why I do this work.
I’m Kim Uzzell.
I'm a Chartered Fellow of the CISI, a former Private Client Lawyer, Stockbroker and Chartered Wealth Manager. I'm the Founder of The Financial Wellbeing Academy and creator of Your Money Brain® , The Wealth Hive and The Ex-Wives' Money Club
And I'm also a woman who rebuilt her life after grief and a divorce that changed everything.
I had the qualifications, the career, the house. But I also had the debt. The pressure. The responsibility. The fear.
And no one - no one - was talking about what it really feels like to be the one left holding the financial and emotional pieces.
For over 30 years, I've worked in financial services, advising high net worth clients, executives and business owners on wealth strategy.
but money is never just about money. It's about safety, identity, belonging and how we see ourselves in the world. That's what emotional finance is all about - and it's what I'm here to help you understand and get to grips with, alongside the practical work - without shame, jargon or overwhelm.
Since leaving my regulated corporate role, I’ve worked with hundreds of people navigating emotionally complex financial situations:
🌀 Divorce
🕊 Inheritance
🔥 Burnout
🩺 Menopause
💔 Betrayal or career derailment
📉 Sudden income changes or financial shame
And what I discovered was that most of them weren’t looking for a mindset coach, or another financial advisor. They were looking for someone who actually understood the weight they were carrying.
They didn’t want hype, or platitudes.
They wanted calm clarity.
They wanted someone to walk beside them while they made smart, grounded financial decisions that felt emotionally safe.
That’s the work I do.
My mission? To shift not just what you do with money - but who you become, through it.
My Approach
I don't believe in rigid budgets, living life by a spreadsheet, shame-based financial advice or just "earn more, spend less" thinking. Instead I take a science-backed, behaviour-first approach to money, helping you:
Identify and break unhelpful financial patterns.
Build new, sustainable money habits.
Gain confidence to have better financial conversations with your family, professional advisors, and friends.
Develop a financial strategy that aligns with your personal values and goals (not with what you think you ought to be doing)
Shift habits, patterns and cycles that have felt stuck for decades
And it's being recognised - from Guest Lecturing at Universities, Keynote Speaking and being featured in the Sunday Times Alternative Rich List 2025 for "Breaking the Silence" around the topic of money and the way we approach it,
But this is just the start.
Next Steps - I've got you.
Whether you’re ready to:
Rebuild after divorce, menopause, loss or burnout.
Make peace with inherited wealth or a change in financial circumstances.
Ditch the fear, fog, and financial avoidance.
Create confidence and financial peace of mind without spreadsheets and shame
…there’s a way to start.
You can book a one-off Power Hour, start gentle monthly support in the Wealth Hive or Private Wealth Coaching, or dive deeper through my executive programmes and VIP mentoring.
You're not "just rubbish with money". You've just not been given the right tools - or the right support.
You’re not alone if any of these sound familiar:
💬“I earn well, but there’s nothing to show for it.”
💬“I know what I should be doing… I just can’t seem to do it.”
💬“I avoid money conversations because I feel embarrassed - even when I look successful.”
These aren’t character flaws. They’re patterns rooted in your nervous system, your childhood experiences, and your learned emotional responses to money. We can change them - together.
Break the cycle of
debt & spending.
On the face of it you're financially successful. You have a good income, regular bonuses, and occasional windfalls.
Yet every month you are down to your last few pounds before payday, the credit card you paid off has new balances on it again, and you don't have anything to show for the money you have received.
Sound familiar? You can break the cycles of spending, running up debt, and making excuses, and start to see your relationship with money improve, your finances become more efficient, and your savings soar as you move towards financial stability and independence.
Nothing seems
to change.
You're not stupid when it comes to knowing what you should be doing.
You're very successful in your career, and other areas of your life.
You can tell other people what they should be doing to make their financial lives a success....but you can't seem to implement it and sustain it for yourself.
I get you - and it's frustrating as heck, isn't it! By working together we can identify where your money blocks are, and you can understand why they are sabotaging your efforts to do all the right things. Rather than feeling a failure, you will start to feel in control and see successes with your finances.
Avoiding the dreaded
money talk?
Do you avoid the issue whenever money is the topic of conversation?
Do you gloss over your concerns for fear of feeling ashamed or embarrassed.
Do you give the answers you think others want to hear, to avoid being judged for your real situation?
I hear you - All too often, taking the easy option is anything but easy in the end.
Avoiding the issues just leads to feelings of discomfort, as they eat away inside you, leading to sleepless nights, and overflowing into other areas of your life, interfering with your personal relationships and creating blocks in your business.
Stop making the same mistakes
with your money over and over again!
You might be feeling like you're no good with money, but that's just not true.
You're holding on to an old money story.
You're repeating behaviour that has been ingrained within you for a very long time.
And the good news is, that it can be changed!
My simple Rewired for Wealth programme is a fabulous (and FREE!) way of getting your money mind on your side so that you don't have to keep making the same old mistakes again!
