Of all the hats I wear, the most cherished are as a husband, father and grandfather. I am a Registered Counsellor and Trauma Practitioner with over 7 years’ post-graduate experience. My journey into the profession of counselling was an outcome of adversity and an identity crisis in mid-life. I’ve served on the CFMA RIM and MROP teams for the last 5 years and carry a passion for the personal and relational healing and transformation of all who cross my expressions of service.

I am a passionate lover of nature in all its forms, in particular human nature.  I love to see the potential released all things from buildings I have worked on as a tradesperson, old furniture and houses I have restored and renovated and people who I walk with as a therapist and guide.

I work in ways that are nature-based and wholeness-focussed, not merely wanting people to not be struggling, but rather creating the conditions for thriving:  Uncovering gifts and living them into the world.

I am a husband of 26 years, Father of 4 grown children, Businessman for 25 years, Tradesman, Counsellor (Since 2008), Group Facilitator & Soul Work Guide.  I have been involved in Centre for Men since 2004, as a counsellor, Group facilitator, retreat leader, Board member & MROP Elder.

Having worked with many businesses, large and small, it never ceases to amaze me that businesses do not see learning and development as a competitive advantage. So many business leaders spend time fighting fires rather than preventing them through a learning and development strategy.
