Build your six-figure investment portfolio through 1-to-1 coaching

Stop relying on generic tips. Get a bespoke financial plan and direct coaching tailored to your situation—at a fraction of the cost of a traditional adviser.

The Information Trap

You've probably spent dozens of hours watching personal finance YouTube channels. You know the terminology. You've heard the generic investment tips.But when you open the investment app on your phone, you still freeze—because none of those videos know your specific context, your earnings, or your goals.Traditional financial advisers charge thousands of pounds a year to solve this problem loop. I don't. For a very reasonable one-time fee, you get a certified professional to sit down with you, cut through the noise, figure out your numbers, and actually move the needle in a fraction of the time.

Here's how it works

An efficient, high-touch partnership designed to get you set up and growing way faster.

Step 1) Free Intro Session

We spend 30 minutes aligning on your goals and your investable gap. It’s an honest look at whether my coaching is the right tool to get you to your next milestone. No hard sell—if I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you straight.

Step 2) Your Financial Plan

We spend our initial sessions auditing your numbers—accounts, fees, and current strategy. You walk away with a clear, written plan to maximise your wealth and stop the fee leaks that cost most investors thousands.

Step 3) Ongoing Support

Fortnightly coaching calls to keep you on track and circumvent the usual excuses. Plus, a direct line to me on WhatsApp for investment platform queries and quick sense-checks when you need them.

Iwan's testimonial

"I started a few months ago and in that time the way I view money has drastically changed. I’ve started to save money in a savings account for an emergency fund and am going to start saving for a new car I also started investing and thinking about my long term, I’ve gained knowledge about how my taxes work which I had absolutely no clue about before.Every session has left me with more knowledge than before and it is always a very pleasant experience speaking to Ruth, 10/10 stars."

3-Month Coaching Package

Includes all three steps: your intro session, your written financial plan, and 3 months of ongoing support.Start with a free, no-obligation intro chat to ensure we're a perfect fit. You only pay if we both decide to move forward.

Hi, I'm Ruth

I built my own six-figure investment portfolio from scratch, achieving a 15.6% average annual return. As a financial coach with 5,000 subscribers on YouTube, I’ve done hundreds of hours of research so you don't have to.I'm here to bridge the gap between you being unsure of your next step, to finally taking decisive action, and getting the results you want. I don't gatekeep, I don't hide behind financial jargon, and I'll tell you exactly what you need to do to build real wealth.

DISCLAIMER: I don't give financial advice. Whereas financial advisers recommend specific products, a financial coach is all about educating you so that you feel comfortable making your own financial decisions.
