About Me

As a Transitions Coach, I help my clients learn to cope with major changes in their life. I embark on a journey with them to help them understand and ultimately overcome their emotions as they prepare to make a big change.

At a core biological level, our primitive brain wants to keep us alive and comfortable. Yet, a life transition often involves stepping into the unknown, and that can be highly uncomfortable as our brain is not able to process any reliable data during this phase. Navigating change and uncertainty means that the threat/protection and safety-seeking system of our brain is highly activated, generating feelings of anxiety, anger or disgust. These feelings ripple through our bodies urging us to take action against the threat. This is when our fight, flight, freeze and fawn mechanism comes into play, causing us to have unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

I have been trained as a transformational coach, which means the way I work with my clients is guided by a psychological approach, exploring their world, both inside and out and helping them create paradigm shifts. I have also qualified as an NLP coach which enables me to help my clients understand the way their subconscious mind works and what they can do to manage their internal state, to stay resourceful during stressful times and to get to a higher degree of behavioural flexibility in difficult situations.

I bring the power of compassion to my coaching conversations and work with my clients to develop a compassionate mind to help them increase their courage and resilience.

I have chosen to focus my work on transitions because I want to bring more awareness about the internal process and experience of being in transition and how our brain works as this will inform the way we can navigate a major change.

I have experienced a few “lifequakes” in my work life and in my physical and mental health. I have also come out as a gay man after years of bullying and relocated to a foreign country which is now my home. I have embraced a life where I constantly work on my consciousness and where I train my brain to generate alternative thinking to balance my mind and support my growth.

If you are going through a disruptive phase in your life and would like to make sense of the initial chaos and how to make a major shift, feel free to schedule an appointment.

I generally work outside of my corporate job with private clients who are experiencing distress and negative thinking due to a major change in their life.
