My Story
As a professional Life Coach in Dorset, I want to help you reach your full potential. I’ve personally gone from being unfulfilled, anxious and depressed to building a family and business that I truly love. And I want to help you be happy and love your life too.
I’m passionate about making a difference in peoples lives and I use my personal and professional experience to bring about positive change.
Working with me means that you will feel more free to follow your passions and live a happy life, free from anxiety and overthinking, and being much more fulfilled.
With my friendly and light-hearted manner you’ll feel like I’m on your team and we will have a partnership where you will come to understand yourself, and your mind, and then you’ll smash through your mental blocks, feeling free to pursue your goals and what really matters to you.
As someone like you who knew that there was more possible beyond my negative beliefs, I’ve had some tough times too. I wasn’t born privileged. Life was pretty rough growing up. I just about survived childhood having a lot of barriers in my way, little money, little support, and never having anything handed to me.
I worked hard to achieve everything I have by following my passions and interests. I excelled in the environments I put myself in, always finding myself in leadership no matter what the sector. By my early-twenties I became a successful leader in the corporate world.
It was in this role working so closely with people’s development, my passion for human performance, psychology and coaching was ignited. At this time, at age 26, I met a life coach. This was when I woke up. Before then, it felt like I was just drifting through life.
This coach had the single biggest impact on the trajectory in my life. He truly helped me see past my limitations and he helped me discover my purpose, my passions and my dreams.
From that moment on, I wanted to do for people what he had done for me, (but I’ll come back to that later).
My coach helped me see past my fears and self-doubt, my fake confidence, and my mind-made obstacles.
Once that was out of the way, I went for my dream...
At this time, I wanted to train as a Psychologist and be the first in my family to go to university.
The first step was getting on a degree programme in Psychology, but my application was declined at university.
The thing was though, I had a fire in my belly, and I knew this was what I was supposed to do. I had woken up to my calling. I called them up and explained to them that I had never been more sure of anything in my life. I told them that I would be top of their class and would be their best student.
They heard me. And they let me on the programme...
Senior Lecturer in Psychology
Three years later, I graduated top of the class in Psychology. They even offered me to do a PhD.
I studied everything I could get my hands on. Every psychology training course out there, mindfulness, spirituality, coaching, you name it. If it’s in the field of human development then I’ve got the t-shirt. All so that I could get the best from myself, and others. And that’s what I do now.
I want to help you live the best life you can. I want you to wake up and realise how amazing life can be.
I went from someone who was unhappy, anxious and insecure, to joyful, inspired, and confident. I became a man that I am proud of. I became an expert in human potential. Now I really get how life works, it's much easier to play the game.
I don’t tell you this to brag. I tell you this because I want you to see what change is possible.
Now I do for people what that coach did for me. I spent 10 years in the NHS in senior leadership positions in wellbeing, and worked as a Senior Lecturer teaching psychology on a professional masters programme for mature students. You won't find anyone more qualified than me to understand how your mind works. Plus, I really do walk the talk...
From Surviving To Thriving
I want you to be really happy and love your life. I help you do that with my skills and experience. My qualifications back up my words…
I’m a Fully trained CBT therapist and worked for 5 years as a Senior Lecturer at University teaching a Masters in CBT. I also have a:
- First class Bachelor of science in psychology
- Postgraduate certificate in psychological therapies
- Masters degree in cognitive and behavioural psychology
- Mindfulness teacher training
- Certified Life Coach
- Transformative Life Coaching with some of the best coaches in the World
- Executive Coaching and Leadership Coaching
- Plus thousands of pounds worth of additional coaching training and workshops
I actually think the thing that qualifies me the most, is that I've created a life that I'm in love with. I'm guessing you want the same?
I've worked with housewives and entrepreneurs, cleaners and CEOs. People that want to find the motivation to join the gym, and former special forces operatives. What they all have in common is that they want to get unstuck and wake up to a better version of themselves.
My coaching works. I deliver life coaching in person in Dorset, and online anywhere in the world.
