Your Nervous System Expert: STEPPING BACK INTO ALIGNMENT
Before I became a coach, I looked “fine”.
I had the career. The house. A family. I was holding it all together, at least on the surface. But underneath? I was constantly overloaded.
I’d been stuck in autopilot for years… and it was catching up with me. I had a very challenging upbringing, and like a lot of men, I’d internalised some deep beliefs:
“Work hard, don’t complain. Keep people happy. Be the strong one.”
It left me burnt out, physically unwell, and emotionally lost. I didn’t need a full personality transplant, I just needed to reconnect with who I actually was... not who I was trying to be for everyone else.
That’s what changed my life. And that’s why I do the work I do now.
I’M RUSS BIGNELL
I HELP EMOTIONALLY OVERLOADED PEOPLE STEP BACK INTO ALIGNMENT.
I’m a certified Level 5 Personal Development Coach, and I work with people who are tired of just surviving.
If you're navigating career shifts, parenting, or a pattern of putting everyone else first, I can help you slow down, untangle the noise, and start living from a steadier, more grounded place.
My job isn’t to fix you. It’s to give you space, tools, and support to finally hear your own voice again and finally act on it.
HOW I COACH
I use my SURGE© framework — a simple, supportive structure designed to help you:
Get clarity on what really matters (and what doesn’t)
Learn how your nervous system works so you can stop burning out
Take real, meaningful action — without pushing harder or “powering through”
I’m not here to motivate you with empty mantras. I’m here to walk alongside you, keep you accountable, and help you make choices that feel great.
My credentials include: TQUK Level 3 + Level 5 Award in Coaching & Mentoring (RQF) & RSPH Level 2 award in Understanding Mental Wellbeing
WHY I DO THIS
Because I know how it feels to lose yourself trying to hold everything together. And because I’ve seen what happens when you finally get the support you need. It’s time to come home to who you’ve always been.

“Working with Russ has changed the trajectory of my life.
I’ve never felt more connected to myself, more aware of my patterns, or more hopeful about what’s possible.
