Meet Patrick

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me outdoors. Climbing, canyoning, or just spending time in nature is my happy place. I’m also part of a specialist canyon search and rescue team where we take on some of the country’s most technical missions. Before that, I led a large outdoor club in Australia, guiding hundreds of people and learning firsthand how courage, fear, and resilience show up for all of us.

That experience lit the spark that eventually led me here. I found myself wanting to work with people one-on-one, helping them through life’s emotional and mental terrain, not just the physical kind.

I also spend a lot of time reading, reflecting, and exploring ideas. I’m drawn to philosophy, psychology, and the deeper questions about how we live and grow. I love a good board game, quiet chats, and books that engage the mind. Alongside my outdoor work, I’ve helped lead a crisis support group of over 600 people and spoken at events on mental health, growth, and human behaviour. 

Over the years, I’ve come to see that people aren’t just looking for someone to ask “how did that make you feel,” or even hand them a few tools. They want someone who brings the work to life and helps them experience change, not just talk about it.

Like most people, I’m no stranger to struggles. I’ve had my share of hard moments, and I know how vulnerable it can feel to ask for help. Looking back, I often wish I’d done it sooner. We lose so much time stuck in our heads. That first step can feel like climbing a mountain, but it’s the beginning of something better.

My professional training is both extensive and practical. After completing a comprehensive two-year programme with PREKURE, I qualified as a certified Mental Health Coach and Master Coach. I’ve also invested hundreds of additional hours in specialised professional training and supervision across Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural approaches, Motivational Interviewing, and Compassion-Focused Therapy. I also complete regular professional supervision with a registered psychologist, and I seek specialist supervision for areas like workplace wellbeing training and couples coaching. Beyond formal training, I’ve spent more than a decade studying psychology, behaviour analysis, philosophy, and human development, and I’ve intentionally built a wide background through work in trades, sales, project management, 3D design, music, and leading community groups. This blend of evidence-based training and real-world experience is what shapes the way I work today.

Through this work, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of people overcome challenges, reconnect with what matters, and take meaningful steps toward better lives.

These experiences shape how I work with clients. My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on real life and what works for them.

So while this page is about me… the coaching is all about you! Let’s work together to get you unstuck, find what matters most to you, and help you take meaningful steps forward!
