Founder & CEO @ Reddi | The MatchMaking Dating App | MatchMaker | Executive Confidante | Coach | Award Winning Mental Health Practitioner | Educator of the Human Condition

I work privately with individuals operating under sustained pressure - leaders, founders, and public figures whose success demands clarity, emotional control, and discretion.

My background is in psychology and mental health, and my work sits at the intersection of human behaviour, performance, and relationships. I am particularly known for my work on perfectionism - how it drives achievement, and how it quietly erodes decision-making, connection, and long-term resilience when left unexamined.

I support people in senior roles across finance, law, elite sport, and public life. Many come to me when outward success is no longer matched by internal stability, or when the cost of performing well has started to show up in their relationships, judgment, or sense of self.

My approach is grounded in psychological practice and commercial awareness, with a strong emphasis on discretion. I work as a trusted advisor behind the scenes, helping clients strengthen emotional regulation, relational intelligence, and decision-making under pressure.

Alongside my private work, I am the founder of Reddi and L’Amour Privé - a private ecosystem for intentional connection - an elite singles community if you will. Through these platforms, I work with a small number of individuals and partners to create thoughtful introductions and curated experiences where depth, chemistry, and integrity matter more than performance or profile.

My work, whether in performance, relationships, or personal recalibration, is guided by the same principle: depth over display, intention over urgency, and excellence that is sustainable rather than performative.

Founder & CEO

REDDI is on a mission to disrupt the relationship industry by being the first exclusive private members-only dating app on the market which uses attachment theory to match members who want healthy relationships.
​
Recently launched and onto our first bootstrap round, we’ve already hit the headlines. 
​
We believe that as orchestrators of relationships, we also need to be socially responsible. Poor mental health outcomes are increasing, young people are not even hooking-up or having sex, and we’ve seen a rise in solo mums by choice, and single lonely depressed men. Something is going wrong, and we want to be the thought leaders behind changing that: not just for our current generations, but the many more to come.

The Vision…

REDDI’s guiding light, is to help people find and keep healthy and meaningful connection in the most efficient and enjoyable way. We weave in some science, and intimacy creating an exclusive experience that comes to life both on and off the app.

Our app is just the tip of the iceberg, and we have big dreams to create more products and experiences, both digital and in real life - we are creating a 'connecting, educational, and supportive coaching' platform designed to not be deleted - we want to be there for our members throughout all of their relationship lifecycles.

The Members…
​
REDDI values well-rounded, open, and honest people. People who are ambitious, smart, and aim high when it comes to their personal and professional lives – the kind who can make you laugh, but also think deep. Most importantly, our members are emotionally available, and don’t want to mess around.

The Whole Man Academy coaches and connects professional men via 'The Network' membership, events, bespoke 1-2-1 guidance, online courses, and corporate talks.

Since 2018, I’ve helped middle-aged men who look like they’ve got it all… but deep down, feel stuck.

Men who’ve built the life (career, house, family, money) but feel like they’re quietly drifting.

You are successful on paper but starting to wonder 'Is this it?'.

I call it 'The Midlife Mismatch', where what you’ve built doesn’t match what you really want anymore.

That’s where I come in.

I run the Whole Man Academy and its private community, The Network.

It's to help switched-on men stop coasting and start taking control again.

We analyse exactly where you are, what you want, and help you figure out what’s next.

Real talk, practical and proven tools, and some priceless direction.

⚡ If you’re feeling like this, take the MidLife Alignment Check — a 3-minute quiz to see where you’re out of sync, and what to do next.

I’m a dad of 3 boys.
An ex-City guy who did nearly 20 years.
And a man who knows what it’s like to look successful… but feel flat, lost, or just done with it all.

If you’re ready to get clear, get energised, and get back in control — I’ve got the tools, contacts, experience and ideas to help you do it.

Seeing my Whole Man Academy logo on the arms of every man who ran the Flawed Hero Marathon made me smile.

Because each one of those men was about to embark on a serious challenge …

…but no doubt each of them have parts of their life they want to improve.

And in a way that’s how I’ve positioned the support I provide…

Quietly sitting on your shoulder (or arm) as you go through challenges.

And I’ll be writing more about the FHM this coming week as it’s an incredible event to be part of. 

And a nod to the creator Phil Roberton for his tireless work bringing it together.

One ambitious man will take the tools and run to success with them, others will sit on the sofa with them and do sweet FA and be in the same position 12 months later.
