Claer Barrett is an award-winning journalist and broadcaster who focuses on personal finance.
As an Associate Editor at the Financial Times, she presents the FT's weekly Money Clinic podcast, which addresses listeners' financial dilemmas. She also writes the Serious Money column for the FT Weekend newspaper.
With over 15 years of experience in consumer and personal finance journalism, Claer has developed a straightforward approach to discussing money. This has made her a frequent guest on various TV and radio programmes, including ITV's Lorraine, where she appears every Wednesday morning, finance phone-ins on LBC, and shows like Watchdog, Rip Off Britain, and You & Yours on the BBC.
Her bestselling book, What They Don't Teach You About Money, was released in 2023. It expertly debunks the myths that keep many people stuck in personal finance paralysis.
Slicing through the financial world's jargon, Claer's hallmark is communicating key financial know-how in easy, practical steps—with a dollop of humour on the side. She is a regular on the after-dinner speaking circuit and is a trustee of the FT-supported charity, the Financial Literacy and Inclusion Campaign.
