Emma Boardwell is the founder of Emotional Finance, uniquely blending her extensive background as a psychotherapist with her qualifications as a financial coach (DipFA). She specializes in helping financial professionals develop the relational intelligence and soft skills needed to build deep, trust-based client relationships. Colleagues describe her as warm, thoughtful, and insightful.

Outside of work, Emma is an avid cook who enjoys thinking about her next meal. She sings with the Neighbourhood Voices choir in Sheffield, loves watching cricket, and finds joy in solo trips to the cinema. She is a mother to three grown sons and cherishes small moments like a morning run or a quiet coffee.

Her career in finance was unexpectedly sparked by a personal finance book she bought for her teenage son, which he never read, but she did, and it changed her life.
