Turn inwards and create a different life.
Turn inwards and create a different life.
My own journey to finding a different lifestyle has given me insight into the many challenges one encounters. This enables me to bring a high level of empathy, respect, and understanding.

Life isn't a dress rehearsal - its the one we have right now so take a small step in designing it exactly the way you want it.
At the end of 2022, I was at a stage in my life where I was feeling a little stuck. I was wanting to progress my career (both with my NHS role and private physiotherapy business) but felt unsure about what to do next. I share these thoughts with a colleague, who highly recommended Alex and kindly gifted me a complimentary session with him.
From our first interaction, Alex was very empathetic, open and curious about me and my aspirations, which gave me immediate confidence that he was the right person to help me to gain clarity about how to progress in my career.
I met with Alex regularly between January and May. Our sessions were dynamic and diverse; Alex used various written and verbal exercises and activities, including role play for mind-maps, dream weekly timetable, financial calculations, elevator pitches, networking lists, interview prep, etc. Some of these were familiar and comfortable, while others encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, challenging my status-quo and prompting deeper self-reflection. I felt this way of thinking start to spill into my day-to-day between sessions. Alex would keep in touch between sessions and share thought-provoking writing with me that was relevant to the work we were doing.
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Alex. Since the start of this year, I have gained a clear vision of what I want from my career and my life in general. I have a realistic plan for my private business with a steady stream of clients, paying a higher rate than I was charging before I started working with Alex. I have progressed within the NHS into a Band 8 role, which was not something I imagined I would achieve at the age of 30! I have also made some other significant life changes, such as getting married and moving out of London after 10 years. It has been a big and busy year and I feel starting 2023 working with Alex helped me transition from feeling passively pushed and pulled by life, to proactively pushing my life in the direction that I want!
I would recommend Alex to anyone who can relate to my experience, who is looking for a dedicated, kind and challenging coach who will care about your goals as much as you do! Thank you so much always Alex!
I started working with Alex towards the end of 2021 when my life was shifting around quite a bit and my focus for the business and the environment I wanted to create changed. I was feeling in limbo and wasn’t sure how to create or embrace the role I wanted within my career.
I have previously worked with coaches and had always fallen off the bandwagon as I didn’t feel it gave me the strategies I needed to make the changes in my life. Running my own business means that work is a huge focus, and I do a lot of it, but I wanted to be able to make some time for my personal relationships.
I dived head first into working with Alex and within the first month I noticed the change in myself. My goal was to be able to find my calm and patience, even in the most stressful days. I also wanted to find boundaries so I could have more of a personal life. I wanted to be more fulfilled. By 3 months I was actually making time to cook properly and eat better. Within 6 months I had become consistent in the gym and found a community around my new area. All this may sound small but it was something I hadn’t done in over 7 years and was making a genuine change to my own quality of life.
I filled in the wheel of life twice and the difference was stark. But more than that, I felt it in myself. I wasn’t getting as tired or even wound up by the little things and felt like I was able to deal with the big things much better. I was consistent in my approach to my own health, and I started to pass this on and into my own working environment with my team. All this I believe is helping me to strengthen the environment we have.
I would strongly recommend working with Alex if you are looking to create change in your life or need help finding your own fulfilment. It is a commitment. However, because I can see, and feel the change, I can honestly say it is time worth finding.
"I came to coaching with Alex in a moment of my life where I had a lot of information and insights about myself, but I needed the transformation and the action to move forward with all of it.
For a year, he guided me on a journey about values, goals, discovering and overcoming limiting beliefs and implementing small, and big changes that have had a meaningful impact on all areas of my life.
Alex has also been the catalyst for the two biggest shifts of my life: being able to recover my very stranded relationship with my brother and, therefore being able to be an active part in my niece’s life, who I absolutely adored.
And the second one, he saw my own inner abilities and potential to help, uncovering for me a true sense of what my life mission is and how I can hone into those abilities to empower others.
I truly believe I couldn’t have done any of these with any other coach. Alex is awesome. He is immensely patient, observant and his humanistic approach to each session creates a space where thoughts and possibilities flow very naturally.
I am forever grateful for the time we worked together and the positive ripple effect that my coaching with him still has in my life, nine months after we finished!"
At the outset I was quite sceptical at the concept of coaching but Alex's ability to ask all the right questions to elicit responses which made me really take stock and think was so worth it. It's all done in a gentle, guiding way to encourage you to make big changes which often I hadn't really realised I'd implemented until we next sat down together. I can highly recommend Alex - he is personable and really cares about helping you achieve calm in a busy life whilst realising your goals and ambitions.
I have been working on a feature film script for a couple of years but always found excuses for why I didn’t have enough time to write it and get stuck in. I had the long term goal but I didn’t feel like I had the motivation or plan to achieve it. Working with Alex has really refocused me and reignited my passion for writing again. We set out short term goals to ensure I could schedule in writing each day around my job and keep focused throughout the process. My new routine feels like the norm now and everyday I look forward to writing and moving closer towards my finished script.
Alex’s coaching sessions have boosted areas of creativity in my job as well as my script writing and made me feel much more confident overall. I felt really comfortable talking to Alex and knowing that he was always listening and there to support and guide me and I am truly grateful.
Working with Alex has been the perfect start to guiding me through some huge changes in my life. He has allowed me a safe and confidential space to explore every option available to me as well as ones I did not know existed within me yet. Alex’s calm and purposeful approach has left me feeling empowered and more confident in my own abilities than ever before. He has an innate ability to build rapport and offers absolute sincerity in the time he dedicates to the coaching session and your progress. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone seeking guidance for any goal in life and my biggest takeaway moment from our sessions together is the art of patience!
I had five sessions with Alex, all of which were extremely unique, discussing some of the main relationships in my life. Topics I wanted to explore. I don't think I'll ever forget the second session we had. We discussed my relationship with myself. It was a really profound session and at the end I was left with a feeling of confidence, self-admiration and more energy for further persistence.
There are a lot of life coaches out there. But most of them don't leave you with the feelings I felt after my second session with Alex.
Alex was instrumental in helping me see the wood for the trees. I was struggling with anxiety and perfectionism at work which was really affecting the qquality of my life. I had recently become a father and was motivated to get my house in order as best I could. I don’t want to pass on my worse traits to my daughter. However I was focusing on just getting through the day. We took it back to basics. He gave me several tasks to fill out around my values and my goals and assessed how happy I was in the different areas of my life. We also looked at my values. This was really interesting and allowed me to focus on setting my goal which was to become the go to dance physio in London. The work with my values showed that my family and having leasure time were big priorities for me along with work success. Along side this he helped me with conflict resolution at work and in my family life. I had great ideas in blue sky thinking but Alex helped me break them down into managable day to day goals or tasks otherwise I would have never even started exploring the possibility of making it happen.
Fast forward and I have moved countries and have set up my own business. I’ve more confident and strategic and will continue to use the tools that I learnt from Alex to plan my life and move forwards. I am earning a higher wage, have a lot more free time and spend lots of time with my family. I am fast becoming the go to physio in Gibraltar. My values are being lived too and I’m immeasuarbly happier. All thanks to Alex.
