About Me
Hello, I’m Russ. I’m a change coach but I prefer to describe myself as a ‘self-help facilitator’ or human Sat Nav (of positive change), as this describes the coaching process I adopt to empower people like you - who MAY FEEL YOU’RE NOT ON THE RIGHT PATH IN LIFE, OR ARE STRUGGLING WITH HEALTH , IDENTITY OR CAREER BLOCKS - to discover your ‘new’ direction and make positive change in your life. You may simply know you want to ‘change’ and improve your life, but don’t know how. I want you to feel happier by making yourself the priority! I want you to believe that LIFE HAPPENS FOR YOU, NOT TO YOU.
I affectively collapse time for you to ensure you get where you want to get to sooner rather than later.
Whilst my coaching works for everyone, I specialise in supporting MEN of all ages at a cross roads in their life, perhaps feeling lost, stressed, burnt out or treading water. Whether that’s career, lifestyle, health, relationships or simply life path. We create ACTION for that change. We figure out WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOU WANT. You will explore and redefine your goals. Through small steps you will find a better direction and regain a sense of control. You will discover what is MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU……AND WHY!
I’m compassionate, creative-minded and fully committed to helping you. Helping others is my purpose and passion and I’ve found that I’m good at it, so I intend to empower many more humans!

“Russ's life coaching has been amazing for my confidence in setting up my business. His tailored approach and insightful guidance helped me push myself, when I needed it the most. With his support, I've shifted from hesitation to determination, embracing challenges with newfound clarity. His emphasis on recognising the strengths within me and being there to listen to all the issues I create and turn them into a positive is something I have really needed on this new journey. I highly recommend Russ to anyone seeking a growth in overall confidence and a guide in the right direction.” Tom
How I Help YOU
Through my coaching process, you will come to understand that you have all the resources and answers you need to turn things around. I invite you to deep dive with me into your mindset, your purpose, your passion, your environment, your core values and find out what it is you have to bring to the world. I will be here to unlock your true-self, guide you to your goals, boost your career and your way of living.
My mission is to help you tap into your innate strength, realise your unique power and guide you towards your full potential.
Together we will:
Focus on what you want to work on – establish clear goals
Explore your current reality and understand your mindset as we begin to shape a new one
Start to challenge any limiting beliefs and recreate new neural pathways. A brand new mindset. Help you to realise that the quality of life is only as good as the quality of your thoughts.
Bring self-awareness to unhelpful behaviors that have been learnt, igniting power in you to find solutions.
Help clarify what you DO want through creative thinking and inner exploration.
Plan clear SMART actions and define clear strategies so you WILL achieve your goals. You are your actions!
Reflect on your progress and reinforce positive actions
‘THERE IS NO FAILURE, ONLY FEEDBACK’
How it works - My coaching process
I use a range of coaching models that provide structure and a framework that deliver on specific, measurable and achievable outcomes through:
Inwardly-led client solutions
o Empathetic listening techniques
NLP-based reasoning
o Powerful questioning techniques
GROW, OSCAR, FUEL, ACHIEVE models
o Thought reframing processes
Goals/Outcomes
o Reflective/Review practices
Accountability
*I explain the coaching process, how I work and your commitment during the first free ‘discovery’ session (online or phone). Every session you go away with something we choose together to work on.
Sessions are an hour long and generally conducted online.
What I do NOT do
Direct or mentor (this is a different method)
Judge (non-judgemental)
Give opinion (what I think is irrelevant)
Sympathise (not counselling – empathetic listening)
Pressurise (you alone are accountable for any agreed actions – what you put in, is what you get out. I will encourage you to challenge your existing thinking)
Lie! (I will always be honest and truthful with you - if I think you need other tailored help or if you have gained what you need from my coaching it may be time to fly the nest!)
I will be here to support you all the way and act as your cheerleader and sounding-board.
Who I work with
I only work with people who are committed and open to change and to the coaching process. You will be responsible for your own self-development but I will provide accountability and ongoing reflection.
Together we will work on setting achievable outcomes, removing any barriers and reaching your desired goals.
It can be challenging as you discover your new path but the rewards are life-changing. The first steps are the hardest but little by little your small agreed actions build up to become game changers.
I know what it feels like when you recognise you need help but you’re not sure what or from whom. I understand being hesitant to reach out. But you’ve already made that first important step which will shape your positive future. Investing in yourself is not only allowed, it is vital for growth.
I get a huge buzz from seeing these transformations and watching clients in a happier, healthier state of mind.
“Russ has got an incredible way of making you feel totally engaged and listened to. He helped me to identify a clear goal and steps to get there. Within one week I had been more proactive and productive than I had been in the last month, meaning that my other goals no longer feel unattainable.”
— Amanda S.

Value of my coaching
Many people question the value of a life coach and think they can achieve the same outcomes by studying and reading common theories themselves. I was one of these – how wrong could I have been. Whilst I wouldn’t discourage this self-guiding work, by working with me, clients soon appreciate the value that a coach brings them.
My programs are designed to be short and cost-effective because I want to empower you to help yourself going forwards and not to rely on me. The skills you learn in our short time together will last you a lifetime. Of course, I will support you through your journey and will always be on hand to help with any new directions or goals you set your heart & mind to….
If this resonates with you then I very much look forward to meeting you.
I’d be more than happy for you to contact me for a free no-obligation call to discuss your needs.
In fact, whether it’s me you choose or another coach out there, honestly don’t waste time – just make that next step. If you’re reading this then it’s probably because to date you haven’t invested in you (I would know). In the long run it’s honestly going to help you grow, better, sooner. Whilst a cliche, it’s true - Life’s too short.
