Credentials & Qualifications

My work is built on a simple standard: if I’m asking men to raise theirs, mine has to be solid too.

I bring 6+ years of professional practice and experience supporting 100+ families and individuals. Today, my focus is high-performance coaching for men and dads - grounded in evidence-informed practice, strong ethics, and real-world results.

Postgraduate Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring (Distinction)
My primary coaching qualification. It underpins how I work with performance, leadership, communication, values, and behaviour change - turning insight into consistent action.

MA Education (Distinction)
Advanced study in learning, development and change. This strengthens how I help clients build new habits, shift perspective, and follow through under pressure.

BA (Hons) Youth Work (2:1)
A foundation in relational work, communication, and creating safe, respectful spaces where people can be honest and move forward.

Level 7 Diploma in Counselling Teenagers (IATE) (background training)
Advanced training that deepened my understanding of human development, trauma-informed practice, safeguarding and therapeutic ethics. While my work is now coaching-led and focused on men and dads, this training still informs how I understand stress responses, behaviour and relationships.

• Enhanced DBS Check
• Safeguarding (Level 2)
• Professional indemnity insurance in place

BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy)

I complete 30+ hours of CPD each year, focused on evidence-informed practice and working effectively with men under pressure.

Recent learning includes Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, non-violent communication, and mindfulness - alongside specialist learning focused on men (including Men and Therapy – Key Approaches to Working with Men).

I’m also currently completing a Certified Outdoor Therapist qualification, strengthening how I deliver structured, walk-and-talk sessions in the West Dartmoor area.

I receive regular professional supervision to maintain quality, reflect on my work, and keep standards high.

Working with men and dads
A calm, direct space built for men who carry responsibility - focusing on clarity, leadership, performance under pressure and decisive action.

Trauma-informed, pressure-aware coaching
Not clinical, not crisis-led but informed by how stress responses and past experience shape behaviour and relationships in the present.

Communication and relationships
Practical tools for steadier conversations, stronger boundaries, and less reactive patterns at home.

Outdoor coaching (West Dartmoor)
For men who think better with movement and space - structured sessions with clear outcomes, not a ramble.

Coaching isn’t regulated in the UK, which means anyone can call themselves a coach. My qualifications, memberships and ongoing development demonstrate that I’m trained to professional standards, work ethically, and take responsibility for the quality of what I do.
