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 truly believe we’re all worthy of leading a meaningful life. One where your doing what you want to do, surrounded by people you want to do it with. You can be a happier, more fulfilled version of yourself. My mission is to get you there.

““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.””

WHO I HELP

I support men facing challenges like:

  • Burnout, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown

  • ADHD, executive function struggles + rejection sensitivity dysphoria

  • Low confidence and constant self-doubt

  • Work stress, change, or stagnation

  • Starting a business or switching careers

  • Fatherhood identity + pressure

  • Unhealthy habits or self-sabotaging cycles

  • Old belief systems from strict or limiting upbringings

  • Difficult or disconnected relationships

  • Limiting mindset + self-talk

If you struggle with one or more of the above, book a discovery call with me. It'll be a safe space just to talk, completely pressure-free. What have you got to lose?

“THE WAY WE TALK TO OURSELVES MATTERS”

— Russ Bignell

My approach is one of establishing clarity with regards to your real issues, ongoing weekly support and check-ins to keep you on track, empowering you to take control of the troubling aspects of your life, and truly thrive as a balanced human being with great personal relationships, and a bright future. I’m your accountability partner, who won’t let you down. I’m your personal champion.

 I use my signature SURGE© framework of coaching. This is based on a surfing analogy, and includes you learning to identify and surf the best waves, metaphorically speaking, so that you can enjoy the ride.

 

Why am I qualified to guide you there?

I am a qualified level 5 life coach. I’m passionate about men’s mind health. I’m compassionate. But mostly I’ve been there too. I had a very challenging upbringing, and felt I was all alone trying to figure out my place in the world. I fell into certain traps - putting work first, believing I was stuck being the person I was with a very limited mindset, chasing conventional achievement rather than joy. This ultimately led me to serious illness and a message from my body that I couldn’t go on as I was. I had to change and move forwards with confidence and clarity, and an understanding of what makes us happy in life.

I retrained as a coach, as I was aware part of my path in life is to help empower others, and have since helped numerous men from different walks of life go from a very bad place to a very good place. I’m proud of this and of all my clients transformations to date but I won’t stop there. Coaching is incredibly powerful and transformative, and I want to spread that message as much as possible. But don’t take my word for it see my reviews page!

 

“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
