writer & coach

How do we find a little balance and contentment in this over-stressed modern world? That was my quest in Urban Worrier: Adventures in the Lost Art of Letting Go, where I tried cliff-jumping, clowning, meditation and even naturism, before finding the answers I was seeking.

Now as a coach and trainer I’m privileged to accompany my clients on their own inner journeys of discovery – with a particular passion for mid-life transition, parenthood, creative process and male rite of passage. Go to my coaching pages for more information, testimonials, or to arrange a free consultation call.

As a passionate dad, I was particularly proud to spearhead 2016’s award-winning Year of the Dad campaign with the Scottish Government and Fathers Network Scotland.
