When the Way Forward
Feels Unclear
A reflective practitioner,
grounded in experience.
For much of my life, I have been interested in the questions people ask when familiar ways of understanding themselves and the world no longer seem sufficient.
Sometimes this happens in work. Sometimes in relationships. Sometimes during periods of change, loss, transition, or success. What brings people here is often not a single problem but a growing awareness that something feels different, uncertain, or unresolved.
My professional background spans more than three decades across leadership, management, education, coaching, mentoring, supervision, consultancy, hypnotherapy, and spiritual practice. Throughout this time, I have worked with people from a wide range of professional, personal, and educational backgrounds.

A Different Way Forward
What People Are Saying
Thank you
Balancing a demanding leadership career, family commitments and postgraduate study was never going to be straightforward. At times, the workload felt overwhelming, and it would have been easy to lose momentum or question whether I could meet the standard I was aiming for.
David provided exactly the support I needed. Rather than simply offering academic guidance, he helped me stay focused, motivated and accountable throughout the process. He challenged me when I needed challenging, encouraged me when confidence dipped, and consistently helped me keep sight of the bigger picture.
His coaching has played a significant role in helping me navigate the demands of a Master’s degree while continuing to perform in a senior professional role. As I approach completion of my course, I am on track to achieve a Distinction, something that seemed far less certain before we started working together.
I am genuinely grateful for David’s support, encouragement and belief in me. If you’re looking for someone who can help you stay on track, unlock your potential and achieve goals that feel just out of reach, I would recommend David without hesitation.”

He has helped me to see my strengths and build confidence in my abilities. His support is encouraging, insightful, and always focused on helping me move forward with clearer direction and focus.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend David to anyone looking for supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring educational coaching and a hypnotherapist.

I was unsure about Reiki, but wow, I really felt the energy shift and the weight lift from my shoulders, there is something special going on.
My son, T, had been struggling with the contact side of rugby. As the players around him grew bigger, stronger, and more physical, his confidence seemed to decline, and an underlying fear became increasingly noticeable. We had already worked with a sports psychologist for several months, but despite our best efforts, we weren’t seeing the progress we had hoped for.
We were then introduced to David and decided to try hypnotherapy. The transformation since then has been remarkable.
After only a handful of sessions focused on managing fear and building confidence, T became a different player. He is now far more confident on the rugby pitch, communicates much more with his teammates and coaches, and approaches challenges and contact with a completely different mindset.
What has impressed me most is that the change hasn’t been limited to rugby. Shortly afterwards, T attended a Scout camp where he conquered fears that would previously have stopped him in his tracks. He successfully climbed a 30-metre rock face and even jumped from a 10-metre cliff into a rock pool whilst ghyll scrambling, something I would never have imagined him doing only a few months earlier.
The confidence, self-belief, and resilience he has gained in such a short period have been incredible to witness. I cannot thank David enough for the positive impact he has had on T’s life. If you or your child is being held back by fear, anxiety or a lack of confidence, I would wholeheartedly recommend speaking with David.”
