Kia ora, I'm Lee.
I help people to find clarity and balance & achieve meaningful, sustainable growth.
I'm a dad, a coach, a designer, a pizza fiend, a student arts therapist, and a little bit of a coffee snob. I live in Tāmaki Makaurau with my partner, our kids and our dog Ludo. I love being outdoors and get outside as much as I can, whether that is hiking, kayaking, running or just taking Ludo out to some of our beautiful west-coast beaches.
My practice is based on curiosity, empathy and trust. My methods are simple, backed by solid training and decades of experience, and I deliver tangible, practical results with an inclusive and gentle approach; free from shame or judgement. I'm a firm believer in the therapuetic capacity of nature, and the power of creativity as a catalyst for change.

Life Coaching
Simple, down-to-earth life coaching that helps you be your favourite version of yourself without any of the shouty motivational speaker hard-sell or woo-woo spiritual guru cliches.
No bullshit, no pressure and no judgement.
A lot of my clients are creative folks - designers, artists, makers, or people who work in product and technology, and for a lot of us, our brains work a little differently.
This means that a lot of the tools and approaches used by a lot of coaches and counsellors that work well for others arent always helpful for us.
I do things differently. My practice and methods are down-to-earth, client-led, inclusive and neuro-affirming. I provide accountability without judgement, Focus without pressure, and my approach is built on developing a strong coaching relationship of mutual respect and understanding.

"Lee has an uncanny way of asking difficult questions in order to get to the real issue at hand. I worked with Lee for professional development and he helped bring awareness to some underlying issues that had been affecting both my professional and personal life - that I had no idea existed before! While it was confronting, it really helped me build an understanding of aspects of myself that were holding me back. Since that conversation, I can see when my unhelpful tendencies arise and can use mindfulness skills that Lee also taught me to not let them control my behaviours and thoughts."
