What qualifies me to help you?
I've always been fascinated by human behaviour.
I've studied and trained in NLP, CBT, transformational coaching, positive psychology, personality profiling, philosophy and the principles of success and happiness.
I've progressed through sales and leadership roles, founded businesses, travelled the world and changed career.
My mission is to empower millions to live healthy, balanced, and fulfilling lives through coaching, speaking, and writing.
I'm certified by the International Coaching Federation.
My Journey
For much of my life, I was caught up in the hustle, unable to sit still or fully appreciate what I had. I constantly worked towards the next goal, trying to do it all. In 2019, I took 14 months out to travel the world. I stopped for the first time in over a decade. Unburdened by the distractions of a job and 'normal life', I experienced greater clarity and learned the true value of being present.
I decided to follow my purpose: to use my passion, skills, and experience to help people live their best lives.
When I began coaching in 2020, I realised how many motivated people also struggle to guiltlessly switch off and find a balance between work and life. Since then, I've been empowering driven people like you (and me) to find a balance in life so they can thrive. My clients define what success means to them, and then they create it.
My Life Now
As well as psychology and coaching I love learning new things and being active. To name a few: diving, surfing, snowboarding, motorcycling, juggling, spinning fire staffs, hiking, tennis, swimming, cycling, climbing and photography.
I spent ten years in London (with breaks to travel). In 2022 I moved to just outside Bristol to get closer to my country routes, friends and family. I live here with my fiancé, Katie.

My Philosophies and Values
I believe that we have a duty to make the most of our lives and all the opportunities and gifts we are blessed with.
To me, making the most of life means appreciating what we have while, seeking meaningful experiences, growth and ways to positively contribute to the world.
My three key values are integrity, growth and kindness. Aligning all my actions and decisions to them, ensures that I'm being the person I want to be and living the life I believe in.
The Happiness Trap
Society today leads us to define our success by wealth and professional achievements. But to be truly successful, we have to look at life more holistically.
When you prioritise your health, meaningful relationships, passions and hobbies, fun and adventure, you will be happier and more successful than you ever imagined.
Life is happening right now - we get one shot at it, which is why we need to find the courage and determination to prioritise the things that are really important to us, and build them into our lives.
Five beliefs that help me live a very healthy, balanced and fulfilling life:
1
Everything’s a matter of perspective; choose perspectives that benefit you.
2
Rather than criticising others, see what you can learn from them.
3
The harder something is to do, the more you will gain from doing it.
4
Always seek win-win outcomes - benefit yourself and others.
5
Focus on working smarter, not harder.
