For men and dads who look fine, but feel like they’re running hot
Most of the men I work with are capable, driven and outwardly “fine”. Inside, it can feel like:
- reacting more than you want to
- second-guessing decisions
- losing patience at home
- slipping into habits that don’t match your standards
Coaching gives you a calm, confidential space to reset your headspace, tighten your choices, and move decisively.
I’m Jeff Dawson, a performance and leadership coach. I pay attention to what’s happening underneath the surface, such as stress patterns, triggers and the way pressure shows up in your body, without turning it into therapy-speak. This is future-focused coaching built around practical tools, honest reflection and consistent action.
Coaching built for men who carry responsibility
Choose the coaching that fits. Sessions are £75 for 60 minutes.
Dad Leadership Coaching
For dads of teenagers who want calmer communication, stronger boundaries and a more grounded presence at home.

Walk-and-talk Coaching
For men who think better side-by-side than face-to-face. You’ll leave with clearer thinking and a plan, in a setting that makes it easier to breathe, reflect and reset.

Working with Jeff has enabled me to explore areas of my mind that have never been accessed before.
I feel so heard and seen throughout our sessions. I feel like you notice me on such a deeper level and have helped me make sense of things, giving me the freedom to make better choices and transform my life. A big thank you.
You have given me the space to explore and make sense of my world and I feel in such a different place to what I was a few months ago. You have really given me the tools to cope in difficult moments and not become overwhelmed and I’m more excited for my future than I’ve been in a long time. Thanks Jeff.
Hello Jeff, amazing session today! Hard work, but enlightening for sure. Thank you for going above and beyond for me. I am so grateful.

Questions before you get in touch
How much does coaching cost?
Sessions are £75 for 60 minutes, paid upfront, and your first 30-minute discovery call is free. Walk-and-talk sessions outside Tavistock, West Dartmoor and the Tamar Valley carry an extra travel charge, which we’ll agree before you book.
Is this coaching or therapy?
It’s coaching. My background in youth work, education and counselling informs how I listen and how I pace our work, but what I offer is practical, future-focused coaching rather than therapy or counselling.
Who do you work with?
Men and dads aged 18 and over, including dads of teenagers aged 12 and over. Dad Leadership Coaching is for you, not your child.
Is it confidential?
What we discuss stays confidential, with exceptions such as a risk of serious harm, safeguarding concerns or a legal duty to share information. I’ll explain these before we start.
