Find A Counselor

Lisa has gone from being a self-proclaimed Balance Transfer Queen to a Financial Recovery Counselor. Afraid to call because of how bad your situation is? Don’t be. Lisa’s was probably much worse.

Having lived the life of a would-be client she can relate to whatever you are thinking now. Life experiences aside, she also spent 20+ years working in the finance industry prior to becoming a Counselor.

Together you’ll take a mirror to your money and get clarity about where you are right now. Then, with a little bit of work coupled with some hand holding and humor, she will help you readjust your financial compass and get you going in the right direction.

Lisa believes that proactively planning your financial life is one of the most powerful acts of love and self-respect. It has the power to change and improve all other areas of your life because money touches everything.

To quote Karen McCall –‘It never has to be as bad as it is today.’

Her work is practical, intelligent, and informed by years of study and clinical practice. Though her financial recovery^SM work is not therapy, you will likely find it transformational.

Adrienne’s passion is helping couples as well as professional women get in control of their finances and feel good about their relationship with money.

Adrienne started her professional career as a family law attorney and mediator, working with couples and families who wanted to navigate their way amicably through divorce. She saw just how much stress that her clients, or their soon-to-be ex, felt because of financial uncertainty.

Adrienne became a financial recovery® coach based on her belief that the results could be invaluable for clients, helping them feel good about themselves and their lives. Her belief has been strengthened by her own experience successfully using the process in her law practice and personal life. Having “been there” as a self-employed person—struggling with financial decisions, running through cash reserves and running up credit card debt, and paying a major tax bill—she understands firsthand the unique challenges of being self-employed.

Adrienne’s office is in Seattle, Washington and she is available for telephone counseling. You can find her online at www.AdrienneKeith.com, or you can reach her by phone at (206) 522-5176.

Jill is passionate about Financial Recovery^SM Counselling, because she knows the difference it makes. Jill was, herself, an over spender.

"For at least twenty years I was into retail therapy, I was a shopaholic, I shopped ‘til I dropped, I lived beyond my means, I had lifestyle creep… It doesn’t matter what name you put on it, I was an over spender and regularly spent more than I earned.

I used to lie awake night after night, working out how I was going to pay my bills. I was an expert at juggling money between my accounts. I knew exactly when money would hit my account and where it was destined to go! It was a nightmare!

The Financial Recovery process really transformed my life. It freed me from the “money fog” and the stress of chaotic finances, and really opened my world to all the other opportunities that are out there, apart from shopping! I have now been debt free for 4 years and it feels amazing. My passion is helping others rid themselves of the money fog and escape the debt merry-go-round, once and for all. Then, they too, can know the benefits of Financial Recovery."

As well as her personal experience, Jill’s background in health and business means that she brings a unique skill set to her Financial Recovery practice. Jill’s business experience included working for several years in a global capacity, which enhanced her ability to work with people of many cultures and backgrounds.

Jill works with individuals and couples, either in her office in Pt Chevalier, Auckland or by phone or Skype anywhere in the world. She is warm, open and compassionate, whilst also being an expert at making sense of the numbers!
