Max is an ICF Certified Coach and experienced self-development trainer.
He specialises in helping busy professionals to achieve more joy, purpose and balance in their lives. Drawing on his background as a former lawyer & lecturer, he genuinely understands what it’s like to operate in high-pressure industries. Max is also passionate about helping his clients embrace their authentic selves and pursue their true aspirations. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, he knows firsthand what it’s like to feel like an outsider and suppress parts of oneself to fit in.
As an Accredited Transformative Coach, Max facilitates lasting change through questioning, active listening, insight, reflection, gentle challenge and accountability to shift limiting beliefs. He believes that everyone holds the answers within, and his role is to help clients unlock that ‘inner gold’. He adopts an integrative approach, drawing on tools and techniques from various disciplines, including NLP and transactional analysis. Additionally, as a skilled trainer in self-leadership, resilience and high-performance, he integrates these teachings into his work.
Max’s coaching style is both calm and transformative. He creates a safe, welcoming, and non-judgemental space where clients feel able to show up as their true selves and achieve their goals.
