Are you struggling with meaning, purpose and personal reinvention? Are you facing career changes, divorce or redundancy? Are you a father and partner looking to redefine your role beyond that of provider? Or are you feeling burnt out, lost, or unfulfilled?
I am a sounding board for men who want to talk through personal and professional challenges. We layout decisions and get under the bonnet to see what might be getting in the way of clarity and decisive action.
Through our work men learn the grammar, vocabulary and confidence to connect with, and describe, their emotions and desires. This work gets back in touch with their innate emotional capacity and through fostering compassion for themselves, and others, helps expand their relationships.
I create a safe space to practice new ways of communicating that show vulnerability, emotions and desire and create more congruent, defined people. Sometimes we can be laser focussed on a particular challenge or block and other times I can be a companion for an exploration of existential and experiential process as we learn to paint our lives more vividly.
The work is therapeutic but isn’t psychotherapy. We co-create a bespoke space that speaks to your individual needs and constantly re-contract what direction you want to explore.
My sessions are primarily online using Zoom or can be in-person by negotiation. I offer one-off or regular sessions, bespoke packages and affordable small business subscriptions for employee support.
I spent more than 20 years as a producer and location manager in the advertising and film industries. I understand the particular challenges of a freelance career and continue to work in advertising production in addition to my coaching work.
I am also a passionate advocate for Men’s Groups and run a fortnightly in-person group in South London.

I enjoy the process of self discovery, looking under the hood to see what we share and what makes us unique. I have long had an interest in people and have a degree in social anthropology from Cambridge University and a masters in visual anthropology from Manchester University, and have spent more than 20 years as a location manager and producer in advertising and film.
I have been a member of a men's group for 14 years and run my own in-person men's group in south London.
I am a graduate of the ICF accredited Animas Centre for Coaching and of the Centre for Gender Psychology Men’s Group Facilitator training.
J. Darby - Filmmaker
"Theo is an incredibly warm and supportive coach who is able to reflect not only where the client's enthusiasms and passions lie, but also, the places where self doubt has crept in. I have found Theos elegant solutions for managing doubt changed my whole energetic field and I have been able to get unstuck and complete work with a spring in my step.
Theo also helped me to embrace the fear of failure and work with it as a positive learning tool. I would recommend Theo to anyone in need of focussed attention yielding fantastically valuable outcomes."
T. Mehra - Coach
"When I contacted Theo, I had a lot of questions about my personal and professional life. Theo was able to pick up on so many things despite the limited time we had. It was fascinating to see how all of my concerns were linked to a single belief and aspect of my life. I wasn't expecting things to turn out the way they did. Theo provided a safe space for me to express myself and come to terms with my beliefs. Because of the acceptance that occurred during the session, my resentment had decreased and I began communicating from a place of love and care. I am grateful to Theo and his coaching style for assisting me in achieving emotional clarity."
P. Lynch - Consultant
"As a professional consultant, I am used to discussing and dealing with other peoples' issues rather than my own and I was apprehensive about my first life-coaching session. I found Theo very easy to talk with however and I felt a genuine connection, concern and trust come through. I was looking for someone with different insights to me and in the relatively short time we had together I came away with some clear action points and exercises to focus on."
