A financial coach in Stockport, for the decisions you only make once
Clear thinking and a plan, when something big happens with your money.
I'm Nick Thompson, a financial coach based in Cheadle, not far from Stockport. I work with people across Stockport, Bramhall, Heaton Moor, Marple, Hazel Grove and Cheadle Hulme, and by video across the UK.
My background is 25 years in stockbroking and wealth advice, plus building and selling a property business. I know the technical side. What I help people with is the part nobody else has time for: working out what you actually want your money to do, and making the big decisions with confidence.
Who I work with
People at a crossroads, usually one of these:
• Separation or divorce: getting clear on the money before and after the settlement
• Retirement: turning a pension pot into an income and a life you're looking forward to
• Inheritance or losing someone close: taking your time and getting it right
• Selling a business: what next, for your money and for you
• A promotion, new job or change of career: making the most of the change
• A growing family: planning ahead before the baby arrives
Why a coach, not an adviser?
A financial adviser recommends products. I don't. My job is the conversation before the advice: what matters to you, what you need, and what you're worried about. Clients often tell me they wish they'd had that conversation years ago. And if you need regulated advice, you'll go to an adviser knowing exactly what you're asking for.
Where we meet
Face to face at my garden office in Cheadle, not far from Stockport. Or by video, whichever suits you.
How it works
1. Free 20-minute call to talk it through.
2. Clarity Session (£199): one focused session on your decision.
3. Financial Clarity Programme (£799): three sessions and a written plan.
Common questions
Do you only work with people in Stockport?
No, I work across Manchester, Stockport and Cheadle face to face, and anywhere in the UK by video.
Do I need a lot of money to work with you?
No. People come to me at a big decision, whatever the numbers. What matters is that the decision is important to you.
What happens on the free call?
You tell me what's going on, I ask a few questions, and we see whether coaching would help. If it won't, I'll say so.
When something big happens in life, I'm the person to come to.
Not only did I get answers and a clear plan of action, I felt galvanised and inspired to actually implement the plan, which felt very achievable. Nick is both very knowledgeable and approachable.
Money isn't often an easy subject to discuss, for many reasons, but Nick created an environment in which I felt comfortable discussing everything I needed to.”

I found Nick to be non-judgmental and very experienced about financial matters. Nick has a calm and reassuring manner and is willing to be challenging in a supportive way.
Our video coaching sessions were well structured and flowed. At the end of each session, we had set mini goals to work on and by the end of our time together we had successfully covered the whole topic I wanted to reduce my exposure to property, I was asset rich but cash poor.
I would recommend Nick to anyone looking to review and reset the way they think about and manage their money.”

I’ve worked with Nick for the past year and he’s been extremely helpful in supporting the growth of my property portfolio.
He has a real ability to provide a bird’s-eye view, helping me clearly see where changes and improvements should be made.
Nick brings years of experience, and I always feel a sense of calm, clarity, and understanding when speaking with him.
On top of that, he’s genuinely an amazing person to be around. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
ALEXANDER . L
Where Nick shines, is how he translates seemingly complex challenges into simple steps.
He listens with care and quickly inspires action with his carefully chosen questions.
I cannot recommend Nick highly enough as a coach.
Engage with this man if you are serious about changing your relationship with success and finance.”
