DISHA – Financial Counselling provides valuable advice to help you maintain your financial health and well-being. We endeavour to assist the vulnerable and disadvantaged consumer in financial crisis by analyzing their situation, counselling and advising, and providing options.
Do you have money problems? Maybe we can help you. DISHA – Financial Counselling is a free and confidential service. Our financial counsellors are well-trained, supportive and caring, and we treat people with dignity and respect.
Our clients come from all walks of life, though most of our clients are on medium and low-incomes. We can help whether you are in the midst of financial difficulties or a crisis, or simply wishing to avoid a crisis. For example, you may:
•
want to learn about financial products and product features.
•
want to know more about how to invest.
•
have a difficulty paying debts.
•
have budgeting problems.
•
be worried about your financial future.
It’s best to seek help early so your problems don’t get out of control. Most financial problems only get worse unless you seek help. Financial counselling can help relieve your stress, resolve your immediate financial problems and help you plan for the future.

•
Listen in a non-judgmental and caring manner
•
Analyse and assess your financial situation

Give you information about credit and debt issues
