Enquire with Unicia

Based in: Christchurch. 

Broader area of facilitation: Online nationwide, face to face in Christchurch and face to face in surrounding areas if required. 

Sorted at Work sessions I'm available to facilitate: Money Bites, Sorted Women, Get Invested, Get Started, Pathways to Your First Home and Planning for Retirement. 

Professional qualifications: I’m a financial adviser, chartered accountant and ex-financial mentor, and also have a certificate in adult tutor training. 

What inspired me to become a Sorted at Work facilitator: I began my career in audit, where I quickly realised that although I was good with numbers, what I really enjoyed was working with people. During the career break I took to raise my young family, I became heavily involved in community financial education and mentoring, which led me to meet the Sorted team in 2014. Becoming a Sorted facilitator has allowed me to combine my skills with my passion for helping others, and I’m incredibly grateful for that opportunity. 

What people can expect from my sessions: You can expect plenty of stories and shared experiences, along with practical tips you can put into action immediately. The atmosphere is one of authenticity, encouragement and humor and, most importantly, my sessions are a judgment-free zone. 

What I enjoy most about being a Sorted at Work facilitator: I love hearing how course attendees have used the information we’ve discussed to make real, positive changes in their lives. It’s incredibly rewarding to hear that these conversations continue at home and work. By normalising discussions about money, I believe we’re making a real impact on the financial wellbeing of our community.

    Your professional experience gives you a unique insight into New Zealanders’ thoughts, feelings and behaviours around money. Why does everyone benefit from the kinds of kōrero Sorted at Work sessions open up? Talking about money isn’t something many of us grew up doing, so creating a safe space in which to have those conversations can be powerful. These sessions make it easier for people to reflect, learn and make decisions with confidence, and they remind us that everyone’s figuring out money as we go along. 

    Does it matter what stage in their money journey people are at? Not at all. Whether someone’s just starting out, juggling a mortgage and family, or planning for retirement, there’s always value in pausing to get clarity. Sorted at Work sessions are designed to meet people where they’re at and help them take the next small step that makes sense for them. 

    How do you suggest a workplace should go about selecting the best sessions to suit their staff? The best place to start is by listening to what your staff are curious or concerned about. A quick survey or a conversation with team leaders usually highlights the key themes. In my experience, the most valuable sessions are often the practical ones that quietly build confidence in everyday decision-making. 

    Why is money spent on improving staff’s financial wellbeing money well spent? When people feel confident about managing their money, it reduces stress and frees up energy for the things that matter most at work and home. Many participants describe the sessions as empowering and say they walk away with clarity and a sense of calm. That’s a return on investment that benefits both people and workplaces.
