About
It's been one heck of a ride
I grew up in small-town New Zealand on a flower farm, surrounded by colour, nature, and my two younger brothers. My parents were loving, present, and deeply committed to our family.
It was an idyllic childhood – until I was seven years old, when my father took his own life.
That loss quietly shaped everything that followed: how I saw the world, how I related to others, and how I related to myself. My mother never remarried, and in many ways I grew up fast, carrying a sense of responsibility and emotional weight that didn’t have words at the time.
As I moved through life, I learned how to function. I became a high achiever in the tech world – teaching myself design and development, freelancing, launching startups, and building outward success. From the outside, things looked good.
Inside, it was a different story.
Beneath the achievement lived a deep fear of abandonment and a persistent sense of not being enough. Those wounds showed up most clearly in relationships. I hurt people I loved. Eventually, the strategies I’d used to survive stopped working. The pain caught up with me, and I could no longer outrun it.
I was exhausted.
Owning this journey became the turning point.
Over the past years, I’ve done deep personal work – facing patterns I once avoided, learning to sit with discomfort instead of escaping it, rebuilding trust, and reconnecting with who I truly am beneath the armour. I’ve become a more present father, a steadier man, and a more compassionate human.
And I’m still very much on the path.
Today, I draw on what I’ve lived through – grief, addiction, breakdown, repair, resilience – to support others. Not from a place of having it all figured out, but from having walked the terrain myself.
This work isn’t only for people in crisis.
Whether someone is navigating loss, burnout, leadership pressure, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck or disconnected, I offer grounded, non-judgemental support to help them reconnect with themselves and what matters most.
This isn’t just professional work for me.
It’s personal.
It’s a way of giving back.
And it’s a way of staying aligned with what I know to be true:
We’re not broken – we’re just waiting to come back home to ourselves.
What to Expect
Personalized Support
This work isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re navigating personal growth or team wellbeing, I tailor each session and program to meet you where you are—with compassion, clarity, and care.
Honest Communication
Expect real talk. I offer a space where truth is welcome—spoken with kindness. Together, we’ll build trust through open dialogue, clear expectations, and respectful feedback.

Transformation doesn’t end when the session does. I’ll support you to carry insights into everyday life, so the shifts we create can grow deep roots and lasting impact.
