I help people who've had enough of trying to fix themselves, and are looking for real change that lasts.

Who I work with
The people who find their way to me have usually tried lots of things. They've often spent time in the world of self-help, dabbled with therapy, or meditation, medication, CBT, books, apps, coaching even, or AI support… and found that while some of it helped, none of it really stuck.
If you're here, there'll be something on your mind, that's weighing you down. It might be showing up as anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, insomnia, self-medication, anger, relationship difficulties, bad habits or just a feeling that you're teetering on the edge of holding it all together. (There's really no limit to the way in which our minds can make our lives a misery! 😩)
Medics, healthcare workers and other high-functioning professionals make up a good chunk of my clients – people who are very good at their jobs, have achieved success and are baffled as to why that's not enough.
I don't do any of those things and would rather be honest about that than waste your time.
What's involved
Six 1hr sessions over Zoom, held over a three month period of support. I don't prescribe medication and you'll get no homework in the conventional sense – no journalling, worksheets or daily practices you have to commit to.
What I offer is a conversation that points you back to something you already have, but may have lost sight of: a natural, inbuilt state of clarity and okayness that doesn't depend on circumstance. Your Innate Health.
It's insight-based work, meaning that you get an entirely different perspective on how problems are being experienced, which in turn helps to resolve them naturally, and in a way that's just right for you.
Most people begin to feel better straight away, and after a few sessions, when the pieces of the jigsaw fall into place, things will appear quite different. As one client put it, “It's deep and thought provoking but it is actually quite simple!” – it's not difficult in any way and time spent together is lighthearted.
If you're a Daily Reminders reader, you'll know roughly what you're in for. If you're not, then this one lets you know the three basic requirements for change to occur:

“You will not regret it!” 👍
“I had been through a childhood abuse case where the perpetrator was convicted in the midst of which I had an acrimonious divorce with court battles. The fallout of all the above still continued while being a single working parent to three young kids. I'd had extensive therapy in the form of EMDR and had also been on anti-depressants.
“The reality of the situation was I found someone I enjoyed talking to and discovering new things about myself and life. Giles makes you feel as though you are just having a chat with a friend and yet so much ground is covered. He is happy to be challenged and he will challenge your thoughts in a very conversational way. He has humility and will happily share when he also struggles and that nobody is zen all the time!
“It was not hard or difficult. The biggest impact is that I have changed the way I think on a day to day basis. I can see when I am becoming ruffled and can stop it on most occasions. I'm living in a way that makes me happy!”
~ RP, UK
“Life changing!” 😲
“My home life was extremely stressful and I was finding it difficult to cope each day. This had been going on for 2 years. I knew I needed something to be different but didn't know what it was. Giles had been recommended by a colleague who had taken sessions with him. I'd used all my self-care arsenal like meditation, yoga, journalling, and had counselling too, but nothing provided what I was looking for.
“An insight that came in the first 30 minutes of working with Giles helped me to see that my own mind was keeping me prisoner. I find I am much lighter now. I don't feel the levels of stress I once did. I feel significantly happier despite the external circumstances of my life not changing at all. My partner has noticed I am far more light hearted and my children are finding it easier to talk to me about what's going on in their lives.
“I love how easy Giles is to engage with and frankly I’ve found it quite fun working with him. I would encourage contacting him as I can say that my life has been changed! I feel that now I can ‘see’ what's happening, I can't ‘unsee’ it.”
~ PM, UK
“Eye opening!” 👀
“I was working as a hospital doctor and really struggling with anxiety around work. I was consumed by worry about decisions I'd made, dreading going in, particularly on call. It was affecting my relationships and my overall mental health. I'd tried medication and CBT. I'd seen Giles talk at a conference and eventually plucked up the courage to contact him.
“Giles took me right back to basics and it felt so comfortable to talk to him. He helped me to see that 99% of my worry was made up by my own mind. It's not true! I can now catch myself before I spiral. I am present more often and am generally happier and more content.
“Giles will transform the way you see your thoughts for the better!”
~ HW, Senior Clinician, UK
“A fun journey” 😃
“I was up against a fairly constant inner monologue of inadequacy, self-doubt and frustration that my life didn't really match up with what I thought it should look like. I'd read all the books, tried the apps, had CBT, meditated, and had done some work-life balance group coaching. I wanted to be less blown around by my thoughts and feelings as I was getting quite depressed about what they were telling me.
“Speaking with Giles made me appreciate that there is nothing you need to do about the thoughts and feelings – it's just helpful to notice them and have some perspective about the fact that life is happening on one level and your thoughts and feelings are happening on another level - but they aren't really linked.
“Speaking 1:1 has given me multiple insights that I wouldn't have gained by reading books and trying to link them to my own experiences. I have realised that I'm always ‘okay’, regardless of thoughts I'm having. I would especially recommend working with Giles if you get the sense that more strategies and homework aren't what's going to change the way you feel. I had that sense, and I'm glad I followed the intrigue.”
~ Nick, NHS, UK
“Remarkable and rewarding” ☺️
“My sleeping patterns were awful, I was miserable most of the time, I had several habits which were mentally and physically unhealthy, I was emotionally illiterate and unsupportive of those who I wanted to help. I was also distracted by unwelcome ‘thought storms’ and the feelings that went with them, and wasn't really present much of the time.
“I liked that it was evidence-based with a sound scientific basis. It does require an openness to new ideas and ‘ways of being’ but I knew I was ready. I'm not saying life is perfect now, but it's a lot better, and when I do have crap days I know it's just thoughts and feelings passing through. I really liked Giles’ sense of humour – we'd fall about laughing when I realised some of the assumptions I'd been operating under!
“I'm in much better moods, optimistic, creative, empathic. I can concentrate much better, with sport, work and family stuff, it's bleedin’ awesome! Money very well spent.”
