After over 30 years in the UK emergency services, I chose to challenge my self-perceptions and pursue a new path. Initially drawn to Achology, the Academy of Modern Applied Psychology, for personal development, I later shifted toward my long-term goal—helping others beyond rigid, institutional solutions.

Now, as a mentor in conscious awareness, I integrate my studies and life experiences to offer insight and support, particularly to those navigating difficult or unconventional challenges in life and relationships. My passion is empowering others to live their best lives, regardless of where they start.

I was the first member of the Academy of Modern Applied Psychology to achieve Master Achologist status, with practitioner certifications in Mindfulness, Counselling, Life Coaching, NLP, CBT, and Mindfulness for Leadership and Management, among others. My certifications are accredited by the CPD Standards Office, and details are available on the accreditation page. I have completed and facilitated hundreds of hours of online training, practitioner courses, and live coaching. Additionally, I lead the Academy’s mandatory Code of Ethics training, which is CPD-auditable.

In the emergency services, I was a police tutor in both uniform and covert roles, spending most of my career in covert policing. As a Paramedic, I mentored student paramedics, focusing on clinical skills and patient care, while also working within the criminal justice system to advocate for patient rights and ensure legal compliance. Across all roles, my career has been dedicated to mentorship and coaching, a commitment I continue through Modern Applied Psychology and Modern Shamanic Practice.

I am also an independent TRiM Practitioner and Manager. Developed by the military and King’s College London, TRiM (Trauma Risk Incident Management) is a risk assessment tool for individuals exposed to extraordinary events. It identifies those at risk of chronic mental health conditions, provides education, and connects them with professional support.
