I grew up on the south coast, about half way between the beach and the South Downs national park. I have travelled and worked all over the world, but always returned to this part of the UK as I love the mix of land and sea. I’m a big believer in spending time in nature.

Having returned to university after being made redundant I completed a masters degree aiming to get a career in construction project management. I achieved this and had the job I thought would fulfil my career high and my dreams!

It turned out I didnt really enjoy the role, the company was very poorly managed and had a unhealthy culture. Long hours, a lot of work and intensive pressure to prioritise the company over your health, family and others. I reached whats called professional burnout, many of my colleagues were also experienceing this, I was brave enough to reach out for help. Unfortunately, I wasnt supported I was ridiculed privately and was treated in a patronising way. A symptom of a weak system not designed to support and grow it’s team. I left this role to take stock of what I value in life. To build stong connections with my values as I believe that ultimately results in a healthy existance.

Along the way I discovered coaching, it resonated with me straight away, how the systems, and theories can be put into practice and used to give others guidance. To ask questions and to challenge limiting beliefs.

I founded the Men’s group Primal Warrior in 2022 to support Men and to encourage conversation, whilst I know conversation doesnt solve all lifes woes, it has a large place to make us feel valued, to make sense of situations and to support one another.
