Skip to content Counselling & Coaching for Men
Many men reach what looks like success on paper. The career milestones, the business, the family, the stability, all ticked.
Yet underneath, life can feel heavy. Stress accumulates, relationships strain, and direction fades. There’s no obvious place to pause and take stock.
I know this stretch well. I’ve spent time in my own no man’s land.
After 20 years in the WA Police and opening the first CrossFit facility in Western Australia, I was living at full speed: performance, pressure, responsibility, forward momentum at all costs.
That pace came to a sudden halt when my then partner was involved in a life-threatening car crash.
I closed my business to care for her through recovery, PTSD, and a prolonged legal battle with an insurance company. It was an intense, exhausting decade that demanded resilience, patience, and emotional control under sustained pressure.
A decade on, weeks after her compensation was finalised, she left. The relationship ended. Our three dogs were gone. The life I had built collapsed almost overnight.
I was forced to make major decisions about my future while navigating grief, psychological injury, and profound loss. Everything familiar disappeared at once.
That period asked for more than coping.
It forced me to stop, reassess my values, and decide who I wanted to become. A man with direction, purpose, and a solid footing on the inside.
This became the foundation of my work.
Through the years, I have immersed myself in learning and application. I have worked with elite athletes and high-performance coaches. I studied as a counsellor. I explored practical methods for building mental strength, a level head, and clear decision-making under pressure.
What became clear is this:
Change happens through action, structure, and skill, not insight alone.
There are simple, trainable steps men can take to reduce noise, stabilise their internal state, reconnect with what matters, and move forward deliberately.
That understanding now sits at the centre of how I work.
I now work with men who are capable, responsible, and outwardly functioning, but internally overloaded, reactive, or directionless.
My background spans over 30 years across policing, coaching, crisis response, and counselling. That combination allows me to offer coaching-led support grounded in real-world pressure, not theory.
Counselling skills are used where something needs settling or working through. Coaching leads the work forward; helping men clarify direction, build capacity, and apply practical tools consistently.
In addition to one-to-one work, I am a Mental Health and Crisis Support Trainer, a Crisis Support Volunteer and Mentor with LifelineWA, and a lecturer within the Community Services field.
15-minute, no-pressure conversation
My work is built around the idea that challenges are training grounds.
I help men build awareness, draw on what they already have in them, and get skilled at using it under pressure.
The work centres on helping men:
Stay calm under pressure
Strengthen mental resilience
Regain clarity and direction
Lead themselves and their relationships with confidence
Like many of the men I work with, I’ve faced trauma, loss, injury, and sudden life change while continuing to carry responsibility. I’m a dad. I’ve worked shift work. I’ve built and closed a business. I’ve had to make decisions when the ground was unstable.
My lived experience, combined with formal counselling education, allows me to guide men in a way that is practical, grounded, and respectful of who they are.
