About Me
Before we speak about what I offer, let me tell you who I am.
I have more than 20 years of experience as a risk management professional in the financial industry. I am also a father, coach, counsellor, author and survivor of complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
My journey towards healing
Early childhood trauma affected many aspects of my daily life, including my relationships, career and happiness. What began as family counselling eventually uncovered the deeper issues behind these struggles and led me into an eight-year journey of therapy and healing.
Turning experience into service
During that journey, I discovered the value of giving back through mindfulness work with inmates in prison and coaching for underprivileged women.
Seeing first-hand how counselling and coaching could benefit others changed my perspective. Today, I share what I have learned with a wider audience through coaching, counselling and public speaking.

What I Do
So what can I do for you?
I offer transformational coaching and counselling, in which I help you understand why your current behaviour and thinking do not lead to the desired outcomes, and help you develop new approaches, uniquely attuned to your needs.
Once we have established a solid trust basis, I will prompt you to think about what drives you and will challenge your thinking where you are not being consistent. You will be surprised about how fast this process goes.
Reflect
Pause and reflect on life from a fresh perspective. Uncover triggers and emotions, gaining clarity and insight.
Transform
Develop mastery over behaviour and thought. Embrace tools for sustained change, refining personal growth and happiness.
Impact
Share the joy of transformation. Send ripples of positivity, restoring faith in yourself and inspiring others.
