About me
I'm the co-founder of Firestarter.
At Firestarter, we work with entrepreneurs and leaders of purpose-led businesses on a mission to scale and make a positive impact. We fuse creativity and psychology to support businesses and entrepreneurs as they discover their unique value,
Setting up and scaling a business can be exposing personally and professionally. Success rarely comes without both practical and psychological costs. I am fortunate to work daily with business owners and leaders worldwide, giving me diverse experience and a deep appreciation for the demanding pursuit of entrepreneurial freedom.
I've also made a fair few leaps into the unknown in my time moving from public to the private sector and from big corporate to start and scale up - so if you're ready to switch things up but haven't (yet) ventured out into unchartered territory, then I've been there too.
I hold registered status as a coaching psychologist and counsellor/therapist My approach most often integrates these disciplines as well as my own lived experience as a founder, father and foster parent.

Professional memberships & certificates
I'm a registered Member of both the British Association for Counseling & Psychotherapy (MBACP), the International Society for Coaching Psychology (MISCP) and am a Member of Division for Coaching Psychology (DoCP) within the British Psychological Society.
I'm also an accredited Strengthscope Master Practitioner (the only strengths assessment available with BPS registered test status), and as such, I can use the full range of these strength-based profiling tools in my work where relevant.
Professional qualifications & academic credentials
My doctoral research focused on risk and resilience, and these themes continue to inform my practice today.
I hold postgraduate degrees in Integrative Coaching and counselling, Applied Positive Psychology, Child Rights & Development, and an Executive MBA.
I spent nearly a decade working with and managing social work services for children and families in need, child protection, looked after children and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children.

Other areas of coaching I deal with
Due to my integrative approach, many years as a children's services social worker and as an approved foster carer, we can cover pre-disposing and presenting issues that can be traced back to our early life experiences, including harm and abuse, as well as challenges encountered as a working parent if this is relevant for you.
