Pachira Wealth was founded by Kathleen Blenkharn-McBride in 2023 following over two decades of working in financial services as a Financial Adviser both with large banking institutes and within St. James's Place. Drawing on her vast experience and passion to help people with their financial planning and wealth management needs, Kathleen decided to set up her own business so that she could deliver a highly personal service that is underpinned by care, communication and mutual trust with her clients.

Kathleen’s experience is such that she can specialise in both business and personal financial planning and is dedicated to guiding both individuals and business owners toward their financial aspirations by truly getting to know them. As a business owner herself and someone who has dedicated her entire career to helping people plan for their future, whilst ensuring they live for today, Kathleen understands the various challenges faced throughout both the personal and business journey, allowing her to offer tailored advice.

What sets Pachira Wealth apart is its exceptional client experience, where clients feel truly heard and recognised, instilling confidence that their financial well-being and future are prioritised, with care. Long term collaboration and nurturing lifelong working relationships with her clients is also what sets Kathleen apart. Her view of working with clients is not about creating transactions. It is about truly understanding her clients and helping them achieve long-term goals by having open and honest conversations where she strives to understand what is important and continues to build upon goals and objectives over the years.

Kathleen looks at life through her client's eyes, understanding their story and working together with them to make a financial plan that delivers. Working together, developing and maintaining a close relationship and rapport is what drives Kathleen. Kathleen, believes it is important  to be there for her clients through all the highs and lows of life and will become a close family confidante that her clients can rely upon. Kathleen enjoys getting to know her clients and their extended families and provides multi-generational financial planning regularly. She is passionate about providing holistic financial advice and helping people achieve financial security.
