You’ve spent years being the strong one, but you feel like you're falling apart behind the scenes...

Hey, I’m Russ, a certified personal development coach who works with emotionally overloaded guys who look like they’re doing fine… but feel anything but.

Maybe you’re successful on paper, but burned out underneath.

Maybe you’re overthinking everything, snapping at the people you love, or numbing out just to get through the week.

If you’re navigating ADHD, work pressure, identity shifts, or old baggage from a life that’s felt too much for too long, I’ll help you slow down, untangle what’s going on, and reconnect with who you actually are.

Because this isn’t about continuing to push through. It’s about finding a better way forward.

I support men facing challenges like…

Burnout, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown

Low confidence + constant self-doubt

Fatherhood, identity + the pressure

ADHD, exec function + rejection sensitivity

Unhealthy habits or self-sabotaging cycles

Old belief systems from unsupportive upbringings

Work stress, change, or stagnation

Difficult or disconnected relationships

Limiting mindset + negative self-talk

Starting a business or switching careers

If you struggle with one or more of the above, request a free discovery call

It'll be a safe space to talk, completely pressure-free… What have you got to lose?

“Although reluctant to explore coaching, I'm so glad I did. Russ helped me with self reflection and to learn how to appreciate and be grateful for the things I have rather than seeing things as a chore. This gave me a better perspective on life which in turn made me a happier person. He also helped me to grow in confidence and not care so much about what other people think. He has taught me to be more focused on what I want to achieve and making time for myself to achieve my goals in life while remaining healthy. I would recommend Russ to anyone who isn't sure of themselves and is lacking in confidence”

I started working with Russ at the end of last year. And the difference is incredible. He’s helping me towards my new and exciting future with three steps: foundational work, such as practising mindfulness (I walk several miles each day), comfort level (this includes challenging limiting beliefs and watching how I talk to myself). And then realising my ambitions, which is to start my own ‘Roast’ dinner club. I’m getting really close to making this a reality. I have fear, where it’s only you and your tasks that stand between you and your dreams. And this is where the coaching is most useful, as I realise that my fear of failing is the same as doing nothing, I’d be in the same place. So, I need to give my dream a go. I need the accountability and support I’m getting from Russ. He’s helping me set up my new future, and this is his dream, to support people like me to pursue our own dreams. The support is effective and I’m happier than I’ve been for years. Wherever you are right now, if you want to get on the express train to a more fulfilling life, I’d recommend reaching out to Russ.

Biggest challenge was being scared to do the work and procrastinating around doing it, all whilst not being able to look back and know I’d not been giving it the right try! I enjoyed having accountability which in turn made me realise what I’m capable of when taking baby steps towards my bigger goals. You gave me lots of useful insights into helping my mental game which is a huge part of trading. It’s possible for me to keep on working through my task without mental overload, knowing setbacks are ok and something I can deal with. I’d say go for it - everyone needs support in achieving their goals - it’s all about having the right team around you - nobody achieves greatness alone!
