From Stuck, Burned-Out, and Self-Doubting to Clear, Confident, and In Control

I help successful men in London, Surrey & Sussex break free from the life they’ve built but don’t want—and create one that actually fulfils them.

You've achieved what you thought would make you happy. The job, the income, maybe the relationship. But something's missing. You feel trapped by your own success, paralyzed by self-doubt, and exhausted from pretending everything's fine.

 

I specialise in getting men unstuck—fast. Using proven NLP techniques and a no-BS coaching approach, my clients gain clarity on what they actually want, build the confidence to go after it, and take action on decisions they've been avoiding for years.

One of the best investments I’ve made!

I’ve been in the personal development industry for the last 5 years now and so I have invested quite a lot into personal growth. But investing in coaching with Shawn has definitely been one of the best investments I’ve made. He genuinely cares about getting you the results you are after and will hold you accountable to your goals and will ensure you stay on track...

Is This You?

You're successful on paper, but:

  • You feel empty despite achieving your goals — The promotion, the salary, the lifestyle... none of it feels like you thought it would

  • You're burned out and trapped — Working 60-hour weeks with no time for yourself, and you can't see a way out

  • You know something needs to change, but you're paralyzed — Should you leave your job? Your relationship? Start over? The uncertainty keeps you frozen

  • Self-doubt is crippling your decisions — You second-guess everything, overthink opportunities, and watch other men take action while you stay stuck

  • You've tried fixing it yourself — Books, podcasts, gym routines... but nothing creates lasting change

If this sounds like you, you're in the right place. This isn't about your work ethic or your intelligence—it's about the limiting beliefs and mental blocks that keep high-achieving men trapped in lives they've outgrown.

Real Men. Real Transformations.

These men were stuck, self-doubting, and unfulfilled. Here’s what changed:

  • Left a toxic 10-year relationship → Now in a fulfilling partnership with someone who truly gets him

  • Stuck in underpaid corporate role for 8 years → *Negotiated £32k salary increase in 6 weeks*

  • Paralyzed by self-doubt, couldn’t make decisions → *Launched the business he’d been avoiding for 4 years*

  • Burned out, working 70-hour weeks → *Now works 35 hours, earns more, actually enjoys life*

  • Trapped in “golden handcuffs” job he hated → Left to pursue passion career, happier than he’s been in a decade

  • Constant anxiety and overthinking → *Makes bold decisions quickly, trusts himself completely*

  • Felt empty despite outward success → Rediscovered purpose, wakes up energized and fulfilled

  • Afraid to have difficult conversations → *Set boundaries with family, partner, and boss—relationships improved dramatically*

 

This is what’s possible when you stop making excuses and commit to transformation.

What My Clients Achieve

 Unshakeable Confidence

You’ll stop second-guessing yourself and start making bold decisions with certainty. No more analysis paralysis or waiting for the “perfect moment.”

Crystal-Clear Direction

You’ll know exactly what you want from your career, relationships, and life—and have a concrete roadmap to get there.

The Courage to Act

You’ll take the actions you’ve been avoiding—the difficult conversations, the career moves, the lifestyle changes that terrify you but you know you need.

Genuine Freedom

You’ll break free from the expectations, obligations, and limiting beliefs that have been running your life. You’ll finally feel like yourself again.

You’ll break free from the expectations, obligations, and limiting beliefs that have been running your life. You’ll finally feel like yourself again.

Within 90 days, my clients typically:

  • Make major life decisions they’ve been avoiding for months or years

  • Experience a 30-50% increase in confidence and self-assurance

  • Leave toxic jobs or relationships they knew weren’t right

  • Start businesses, pivot careers, or negotiate significant salary increases

  • Report feeling “lighter,” more energized, and genuinely excited about life again

My Proven Framework: The Breakthrough Process

Unlike traditional therapy that takes years or generic coaching that’s all mindset and no action, I use a targeted approach that creates rapid, lasting transformation.

1

Identify the Real Block

Most men think they lack motivation or discipline. That’s almost never the actual problem. Using NLP and deep-dive coaching, we uncover the limiting beliefs and unconscious patterns keeping you stuck—often within the first session.

2

Rewire Your Mindset

I use advanced NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques that rapidly shift how you think and feel.

*Here’s how it works:* NLP interrupts the unconscious patterns that create self-doubt, fear, and limiting beliefs—then replaces them with empowering ones. Think of it as updating your mental operating system. Instead of years of talk therapy, we target the root cause and eliminate it in weeks, not decades.

These aren’t affirmations or positive thinking—these are proven psychological tools that eliminate self-doubt, fear, and limiting beliefs at their root.

3

Take Bold Action

Insights without action are worthless. You’ll create a clear plan and take concrete steps immediately—with accountability and support to ensure you follow through when resistance shows up (and it will).

*What Makes This Different:*

  • No fluff or woo-woo* — Practical, proven techniques that create measurable change

  • Rapid results* — Most clients experience breakthroughs in the first 2-4 weeks

  • Holistic approach* — We address mindset, lifestyle, health, and environment—not just one piece

  • Relentless accountability* — I’ll push you when you need it and support you when doubt creeps in

Choose Your Breakthrough

I offer three levels of transformation depending on where you are and where you want to be. Investment ranges from £3,000 to £9,000+ depending on your goals and the depth of transformation you’re committed to.

All programmes are customised during your free breakthrough call to ensure they fit your specific situation.
Traditional therapy: £80/session × 52 weeks × 3 years = *£12,480+* for gradual progress

*Payment Options:*  Pay in full or 6 monthly payments of £1,600

*Why a mountain retreat?*

The 3-day intensive in the Italian Dolomites isn’t a luxury add-on—it’s a strategic breakthrough environment.

Here’s why it works:

- *Physical challenge builds mental resilience* — Hiking at altitude forces you to push through discomfort, which is exactly what transformation requires
- *No distractions* — No work emails, no obligations, no hiding. You can’t avoid yourself at 8,000 feet
- *Intensive coaching in breakthrough environment* — Extended 1:1 sessions in a setting designed for clarity and transformation
- *Proven effectiveness* — Clients consistently report this as the turning point where everything “clicked”

The retreat is included in Tier 3. If you genuinely can’t make it work (family, work constraints), we can replace it with additional intensive sessions—but I strongly recommend you find a way to make it happen.

Frequently asked questions

WHY ME

Why Men Choose to Work With Me

I’ve been where you are—successful on paper, empty on the inside. I built the career, hit the goals, checked all the boxes. And I still felt stuck and unfulfilled.

It wasn’t until I stopped pretending and did the real work that everything changed. Not just my mindset, but my entire life. That’s why I became a coach—because I refuse to watch capable men waste years being stuck when I know the path out.

*I’m a Certified Master NLP Practitioner and Life Coach who specialises in getting successful men unstuck—fast.* My approach combines proven psychological techniques with no-BS accountability. I don’t do fluffy motivation or surface-level pep talks. I help you identify what’s actually holding you back, rewire it at the root, and build a life that’s authentically yours.

### What Makes My Approach Different:

  • *Advanced NLP Techniques*  
    As a Master NLP Practitioner, I don’t just talk about mindset—I use proven techniques that rapidly eliminate self-doubt, fear, and limiting beliefs at the unconscious level. This creates change in weeks, not years.

  • *Specialization in Men*  
    I only work with men because the challenges you face—performance pressure, emotional suppression, identity crisis after success—require specific strategies. I get it because I’ve lived it.

  • *Relentless Accountability*  
    Weekly calls are great. Daily WhatsApp check-ins are better. I don’t let you ghost on your goals or make excuses. You’ll either make progress or get honest feedback on why you’re not.

  • *I Practise What I Preach*  
    I’ve completed ultra-marathons in the Italian Dolomites (UTMB Lavaredo Ultra Trail), rebuilt my own life from rock bottom, and I use the exact same tools I teach you. I know what it takes to push through when your mind screams at you to quit—that’s exactly what transformation requires.

  • *Based in Surrey - Available Throughout London, Surrey & Sussex*  
    Prefer in-person coaching? I offer face-to-face sessions throughout Surrey, Sussex, and Greater London. Or we can work online if that suits your schedule better.

- Certified Master NLP Practitioner (advanced psychological techniques for rapid mindset shifts)
- Certified Life Coach
- UTMB Ultra-Trail Runner (I know what it takes to push through when your mind screams at you to quit)

Working with Shawn has been  really eye opening

Working with Shawn has been really eye opening. It's allowed me to see that long term change can happen and any goal can be achieved but it takes a relentless approach to navigating your focus. Working with Shawn allows that process to become visible and that enables you to personally define what your route can be. I think the key thing I learned is that this can provide instant results by putting positive actions into motion straight away but also you need to keep doing those things to change course permanently, reflecting on what's important for you as each you take each step.

And in that way you gradually define what your journey needs to be.
