—FORGED
No generic advice. No one-size-fits-all programs. Targeted support for the specific
challenges you're facing — from someone who has faced them too.
Support for understanding emotional breakdowns, custody issues, identity loss and the process of rebuilding after it all comes apart.
Coaching for men carrying the weight of long rosters, isolation, relationship strain, and the mental toll of performing under pressure away from everything that matters.
For men carrying too much, juggling too many pressures, and feeling the weight of responsibility for too long.
Practical support for single fathers managing parenting, rebuilding stability, and dealing with the identity of being both parents.
I don't do soft-pedalling or hand-holding. I do direct, honest conversation and practical tools that actually change things.
Most men come in pretending they're fine. We get real fast. How long has this been happening? What's really driving it? What have you been ignoring? No sugar-coating. Just direct clarity.
This isn't your fault—but recovery is your responsibility. Nobody else can fix this for you. Waiting for someone else to change doesn't work. We build a plan. You commit to it.
You don't "get better" by accident. You rebuild with intention. We focus on what actually works—nervous system regulation, stress management, boundaries, and sustainable performance. You get rebuilt stronger, not just patched up.
I’ve been where you are. I grew up with no guidance, no mentor, no male role model worth following. I’ve lived burnout. Dealt with trauma. Gone through separation and divorce. Raised my kids as a single father. I know the pressure. I know what it actually costs — and how hard it is to hold it all together without falling apart.
I Spent years in high-pressure environments — commercial kitchens, FIFO operations, business ownership. I was the first to bring a world-recognised gym brand from Melbourne to Western Australia and built it into a success while my personal life was falling apart. I rebuilt from nothing.
I trained as a counsellor and men’s coach — not to change careers, but to do this work properly. With the credentials that give it structure and the lived experience that gives it truth.
I’m not here to offer a lecture. I’m here to help you get clear, get control, and rebuild — from someone who’s done it, not someone who read about it.
Diploma of Counselling (AIPC) Qualified Counsellor, Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management, Men's Coach, Abuse Counsellor, Relationship Counsellor—specialising in grief and loss, trauma recovery, and high-pressure environments.
Former FIFO Superintendent, Professional Chef, Personal Trainer, and Business Owner. First to bring a world-recognised gym brand from Melbourne to Western Australia — built it from the ground up. Led teams, managed pressure, rebuilt from nothing.
Direct, practical, no-nonsense support. Real tools for real pressure. Built for men who perform under stress but need help managing the cost.
The first call is simple. We talk honestly about where you're at, what's clearly hurting, and whether this is the right support for you.
You don't need to dress it up. I've heard it all. We talk honestly about what's actually weighing you down—the pressure, the breakdowns, the struggles. No need to hide it, minimise it, or put a brave face on.
We cut through the noise and identify what's actually driving the mess. What's keeping you stuck, what patterns keep repeating—we get clear on what the core issues are.
You don't need sympathy—you need a clear path. I'll tell you whether this is the right fit and what working together actually looks like. No pressure. No awkwardness. Just straight answers.
If you're ready to stop pretending, drop your mask, and take an honest look at what needs fixing—this call is where it starts. No pressure. No commitment. Just a 15-minute conversation to see if this is right for you.
Learn how to manage pressure, stop overthinking, and regain control of your nervous system without feeling like you're falling apart.
Clear support that keeps you actually moving forward instead of spinning in the same cycle. No hand-holding — just honest accountability.
Get clear on what matters, what needs to change, and how to rebuild identity and purpose that isn't tied to work, relationships, or performance.
No fluff. No breathing apps. No journaling nonsense. Practical, evidence-based strategies for managing stress, emotional regulation, and sustainable performance.
What we discuss stays between us. Your employer is never involved.
In-person, phone, or video sessions—whatever works for you.
Book online or via phone. No waiting weeks.
Evening and weekend appointments available. Built around your life, not mine.
Clear pricing upfront, No hidden costs.
