intro

Welcome to my website!

I am Karen Bashford and I am passionate about turning your Dreams into Reality!

Dreams generally need money to make them happen, and money needs you to know about financial management, whether it is to budget to save for the holiday of a life time, to buy a property abroad, own your own home, or to travel in retirement. Do you feel stressed when it comes to managing your money? Do you find your money management, causes you to stumble and at times feel as if you are going to fall, but somehow you keep going?

How often do you find you are motivated to create financial changes you want in your life? But no matter how much you want to achieve your goal, a voice in your head keeps telling you it’s not possible, or it’s unrealistic, or you can’t achieve it, it’s too big! Does that voice in your head say you have got to wait until…? Or you aren’t good enough?

With financial Coaching it doesn’t have to be like that, you can be in control of your finances. Your lack of financial confidence can be put to one side allowing you to make the financial decisions without feeling overwhelmed or the voice in your head constantly talking to you!

Has fear of failure or lack of financial knowledge prevented you from taking action to improve your financial affairs, whether to change from one savings plan to another, or invest the money you have in the bank ? Even what pension you should have?

When you start dealing with your finances do you feel confused, scared, worried, do you get emotional as soon as you start thinking about your money or lack of it?

Do you want to ask for help, but don’t know who to ask, family and friends are great but they can be just as confused as you are and although they may recommend an investment or savings plan they have, you have to make the final decision.

Financial Coaching gives you the confidence to make financial decisions which will open you up to opportunities to improve your financial security.

Does making the final decision and committing to the change trigger fear and panic, do you start hearing yourself saying, “Is it right for me? What happens if... Will it work? You don’t know what you are doing! Why move it, it is okay where it is!” And so much more! Do you put it off, deciding you will deal with it some other time and do exactly the same again and again? Or do you use the lack of time as an excuse to prevent you from managing your finances more effectively?

Karen Bashford’s Financial Coaching and Mentoring was set up to help women to improve their confidence in their own ability to manage their money, and to release them from the mindset which holds them back from gaining the knowledge and “know how” to take control of their finances and to be open to opportunities which will increase their financial security now and in the future.
