"The Stoic Psychologist"

Life shaping Personal Development

Having spent 25 years studying the optimisation of human potential in sport, the military, aviation, education and business, I now work with individuals and teams to increase all round performance by focusing on personal character and genuine, sustained behavioural change.

I have learned from, and tested ideas throughout an eventful life, including playing international sport, 12 years as an Army Officer and combat helicopter pilot, operational tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, teaching Psychology in one of the UK’s top schools, as a professional development consultant in the Oil and Gas industry, running a residential personal development company in Zimbabwe, and more recently as founder of Metis Human Potential.  

I have climbed mountains, undertaken ultra endurance events and traveled the world, and have learned from my successes and failures.

My work  centres on the belief that the key to leadership and collaborative, effective, resilient, flourishing teams is individual character; as is the individual’s happiness, sense of meaning, and personal wellbeing.

My unique and engaging approach seeks to embrace the complexity of modern research, and produce clear, proven, practical steps to self improvement which have a positive impact on all aspects of life; personal and professional.

My aim is simple: to help to create genuine, enduring and positive change to support the life ambitions of the individual and team.
