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

With over 20 years of experience in psychology, mental health, and high-performance coaching, I help high-achieving individuals perform, connect, and lead at their highest level—without compromising their wellbeing.

My work sits at the intersection of human behaviour, perfectionism, and executive performance. I support senior leaders across finance, law, Formula 1, and public life—those operating under intense pressure and scrutiny—who often need a trusted, strategic partner behind the scenes. I specialise in perfectionism and how it both fuels success and quietly undermines clarity, relationships, and sustainable growth.

As a coach and consultant, I work closely with CEOs, founders, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to strengthen emotional regulation, decision-making, and relational intelligence—core foundations of high performance. My approach blends psychological insight with commercial awareness and discretion.

I’m also the Founder & CEO of Reddi, a private matchmaking app for extraordinary singles. Built on attachment theory and AI-led introductions, Reddi challenges the speed and superficiality of modern dating. We partner with the world’s top private matchmakers to create intentional, lasting connections for high-calibre individuals.

Through L’Amour Privé, Reddi’s luxury event arm, I created The 10K Club—an invitation-only private dining experience for elite singles, public figures, and UHNW individuals. These gatherings offer something rare: curated, discreet spaces where chemistry and conversation matter more than profile or performance.

I hold an MSc in Organisational Psychology from Goldsmiths, University of London, and am a Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN), with additional certifications in cognitive behavioural coaching, psychometric testing, and project management. My approach draws on a wide range of psychological models—including ACT, DBT, CFT, MBT, and SFT—adapted for high performers to improve emotional regulation, resilience, and clarity under pressure.

Whether I’m coaching in confidence, facilitating private connections, or helping someone recalibrate how they show up in the world—my focus is always the same: depth, intention, and sustainable excellence.

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.

Whole Man Academy

It's not exactly a newsflash that men aren't very good at talking.  And I wanted to help guys build inner strength. 

But, after experiencing awesome personal development events in the USA, I looked about and wondered where the opportunities are for men in the UK. 

So, in 2018, the Whole Man Academy was born.

I first created events for men to get together and hear from other guys with inspiring stories... we were sponsored by Gieves and Hawkes and the London Sock Company and saw up to 65 guys attend our events.

We then announced style Icon David Gandy as our official Ambassador, which helped when he shared his podcast with his 1 million followers. 

Lockdowns ruined our plans and halted our growth overnight. So I quickly trusted my gut and switched to online events and started the Whole Man Academy podcast.

Fast forward to 2023 and we reach men worldwide with over 500 editions of The Whole Man Journal, 130+ podcast episodes, and The Network, a membership for men with a desire to succeed. 

I also wanted to offer something more bespoke and personal, so in 2021 we launched the Whole Man Coaching Program - which guides professional men to get where they want to be in life.

I've also spoken at household names including Spotify, Aviva, Barclays Bank, Soho House Group, Credit Suisse, IHS Markit, Daily Mail Group, Proctor and Gamble, Lloyds Bank, HAVAS Media, Lloyds Pharmacy, and also a few festivals.

Always happy to hear from people or organisations who want to collaborate, gift their staff a thought-provoking talk, or just connect.

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.

Over the last few years, I’ve:

✔ Hosted 140+ podcast episodes with inspiring men
✔ Run 30+ in-person events and 70+ online meetups
✔ Created tools, courses and content used by thousands
✔ Spoken at corporates on performance, men, mindset, fatherhood, and purpose
✔ Built The Adventurer — a 2-day reset experience in the Cotswolds
✔ Published 700+ articles on men’s health, mindset, and modern masculinity
✔ Written 'Ignite' - the book that relights the fire in men ready to improve their life


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.

'Move to the Cotswolds', they said.

'All that gardening will do you good', they said.

Five bulk bags later and it still wasn't done.

I roped in my two eldest sons to help me...
...but the piles of trimmings was over their head.

And my shoulders hurt.

And now we have to get rid of it somehow.

So, next year I'm putting on an Exclusive event for men.

It's err.... a hedge trimming competition. 

Whoever does it best gets taken to Pats Baps up the road for a fully English.

Who's in?

Helping ambitious men who’ve ticked the boxes, but feel something’s missing. The Network: a private group of switched-on guys done living on autopilot.

Ex-police and serving Policemen are members of 'The Network'.

It's a group of ambitious men working on improving one or more areas of life.

What we've seen is that it's easier (and more fun) to work on things...

...when you have other solid men with the right attitude and intentions around you.

And I find it interesting to hear the stories of their time in the 'force'.

What I do know is that it takes a special kind of man...

...to want to show up day after day to help people, work though the nights when the rest of the country is asleep...

...go in to dangerous situations, and deal with the dark side of policing.
