For those looking for a more detailed bio, hello 👋

I set up Wilkes Wood in 2018 with my best friend, James.

James is a truly great creative and, whilst working as a freelance marketer, I frequently had reason to collaborate with him on projects. Eventually, we realised we should join forces officially, and Wilkes Wood was born.

My role is split between strategy and project management, helping to bring clarity to thinking and ensuring that resources are always being utilised in the most effective way.

I hold an MSc in Data Analytics and Digital Marketing - something I decided to embark on upon our second year of business. 

Despite the obvious furthering of my understanding of data and how best to draw insights from analytics, the most critical learning journey from this course was around strategic thinking.

This has had a profound impact on nearly every element of both my professional and personal life. I was lucky enough to be tutored by some truly amazing individuals like Dr David Norris, who have helped me reframe how I approach problem-solving, balancing long-term thinking with data-led action and constant, iterative improvement.

Outside of my professional activities, I am an avid photographer, shooting mostly on analogue cameras. This helps me slow down a little and create with more intention.

Having grown up in the heart of the Peak District, I am a big outdoors enthusiast, taking great joy in hiking, camping and exploring whenever my schedule allows. 

Aside from these, I’m incredibly fond of cooking, creative writing, and literature. All of these interests sort of morph and meld together.

I am driven by purpose, opportunities to learn, and also by the diverse array of people I get to encounter through my work and hobbies. 

I live in Sheffield with Amelia, my wonderful partner of many years, and Aubrey, our slightly boring yet increasingly large tortoise.

If you’re local and fancy a coffee somewhere green and pleasant, let me know. If not, please reach out via more digital means 😊

Teacher

I deliver high value training, therapy and corporate coaching using bespoke motivational tools and techniques to create rapid and sustainable change

I have worked with vulnerable people for over 25 years, and in that time worked with people from all walks of life including prof footballers, politicians, tech entrepreneurs, Glastonbury headliners, care professionals through to our most disadvantaged. 

In my therapy practise I work with people in crisis, usually suicidal, often deeply affected by traumatic events and all acutely vulnerable. I use a mix of humour, logic and a precise assessment of need to create a pathway to recovery. Whilst as a coach I use the same tools to move people to excel in their careers.

I am the go-to-guy for many complex cases such as those whose ex partners are psychopathic, narcissistic acute manipulators (Dark Triadic personalities) and people with very complex needs such as psychosis.

I founded Betterminds  because I wanted to deliver the training I felt I needed when I was a frontline worker. I wanted to know the HOW to do it , as well as the WHAT to do, in order to deliver best practise for those we support.

Betterminds delivers the science based tools and techniques that create sustainable positive changes. 
I have spent the last 15 years amassing the best techniques to help with motivation, change and to build self-esteem.

Betterminds courses systematically address all the issues that evolve from the start to the conclusion of the treatment process and build the ‘how to’ toolkits which complements each training course we deliver. 
For example the MI course has over 200 specific solutions to deal with each motivation related issue that we face as practitioners. Betterminds offers training on:
• How to get people to attend (Reducing DNA's) 
• How to motivate service users (Motivational Interviewing, persuasion science, MI, CBT, ACT, Key working, advanced key working)
• How to manage destructive people who are undermining recovery (Codependency, Managing Dark Triads and Healthy relationship courses)
• How to engage the community (Peer Mentoring and Group work)
• How to manage the typical barriers to recovery (Preventing Lapse, Relapse prevention, Working with destructive emotions, depressive conditions, acute anxiety and complex needs
• How to create Sustainable exits (Fulfilment works)

Whenever you need a passionate and dynamic trainer, coach or therapist, drop me a line and we can have a conversationabout how we can support each other.
