About

Life can be overwhelming, especially when you find yourself caught in a cycle of worry, overthinking, and self-criticism. These challenges can leave you feeling stuck, drained, and disconnected from the life you truly desire. That's where I come in.

I founded The Life Raft in 2012 with my wife, Sally, during our own journey of overcoming PTSD following a near-fatal knife attack. Through our personal experiences and extensive training, we discovered powerful tools and resources to help individuals navigate the choppy waters of life and find their way back to inner peace, confidence, and happiness.

I believe that the biggest challenges offer the greatest opportunities for growth and transformation. My mission is to provide a safe haven where you can learn and implement practical strategies to break free from the grip of worry, quieten the noise of overthinking, and cultivate a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

At The Life Raft, we offer a range of services tailored to your unique needs, including one-on-one coaching, workshops, and online resources. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and holistic well-being, recognizing that true transformation comes from nurturing the mind, body, and spirit.

Whether you're facing personal struggles, professional challenges, or simply feeling lost in the daily grind, The Life Raft is here to support you.

The Life Raft

I'm married to Sally & we live in the beautiful Eden Valley. We have 3 children between us, a crazy Tibetan Terrier called Indi and a pantomime horse called Ned. I love to be outdoors and enjoy sailing, running (very slowly), mountain biking and swimming in the river or lakes nearby.

I’m a former senior Special Ed. Teacher and behaviour consultant but my focus these days is on giving people the skills to manage their emotional and mental state more skillfully. I’ve spent a huge part of my adult life in an immensely stressed & burned out state – not sleeping properly, chronic pain, fatigue, depression etc. and am now in a position to pass on tools and methods that really help people going through similar issues.

I train clients in 1:1 and group situations. I teach our main  programs and work with school senior management teams, businesses and corporate clients through our Resilience program. I also offer psychotherapy sessions from our home in Armathwaite and online. 

I'm a qualified mindfulness/meditation coach and trainer, Qigong teacher and breathwork coach. I'm currently in the final stages of my training to become a psychotherapist with Human Givens College. I've also undertaken training in The Lefkoe Method, Non-Violent Communication, EFT  and Mindful Self Compassion.

"I was very stressed before the course. I worried a lot and was unable to relax. I felt responsible for the happiness of my whole family. I am now finding it much easier to stay relaxed and not become stressed. I am able to stay calm in stressful situations and to focus on NOW rather than worrying my life away. I am enjoying life again."
