About Tim.
I’ve walked both sides of the success story.
I’ve launched, led, and exited businesses. Helped entrepreneurs raise capital. Scaled startups from early revenue to major exits. Led global marketing campaigns with $100m budgets. Built consumer brands that reached millions. Worked with some of the biggest names in tech and publishing.
And for a long time, that success made sense. Until it didn’t.
Behind the highlights was another story. One marked by grief, burnout, emotional collapse, and the kind of questions success can’t answer. I lost my first wife to cancer shortly before a major business sale. I pushed through. I built again, launched again. But I was carrying more than I realised. My first business failed. I shifted into corporate life. And for a while, I was flying again – working on billion-dollar launches and leading at scale. But underneath, the disconnect grew.
Eventually, I broke. Not all at once. Slowly, then suddenly.
After another loss – this time, my second wife’s mum to the same cancer that took my first – I walked away from another high-growth startup. I jumped into consulting, mentoring founders, and giving back. It helped for a time. But in early 2019, the breakdown came.
What came next wasn’t recovery. It was a rebuild.
Therapy gave me the space to begin unpacking what I’d buried. But it was the walks afterwards that changed me. I’d empty the bucket in each session, then head into the woods to process what was left. Photography crept in again—a quiet act of presence. So did mindfulness. Gratitude. Spiritual reflection. I began to feel my way back to solid ground.
I rebuilt my life around those practices. And when I was hit with critical illness again – sepsis, in 2024 – those same practices gave me peace even when I couldn’t breathe unaided during my 2-month ICU stay, never mind walk or hold a camera.
What surprised me most was what people said along the way. Messages from the medical team looking after me, as well as from colleagues, friends and clients began to show a pattern. Gratitude. Encouragement. Words like “inspiring,” “anchoring,” “quietly transformative.” That was the thread. I’d been helping people for years. Coaching was simply a way to do it more intentionally.

Let’s talk about those niggling thoughts – no pressure.
I don’t coach to fix people. I coach to help them hear themselves again.
Most of the people I work with aren’t broken. They’re just overwhelmed, stretched, or silently questioning everything that used to feel clear.
They don’t need a new system. They need space. Accountability. Presence. The courage to confront what’s actually going on, and the support to rebuild on their own terms.
Sometimes that work is structured and strategic. Sometimes it’s creative and intuitive. Often it’s both.
I don’t offer hype, hacks, or blueprints. I offer a quiet partnership through change. My role is to hold the space, ask better questions, and help you stay accountable to the life you say you want.
If you’re at an inflection point – or suspect one’s approaching – I’d be honoured to walk that stretch with you.
You don’t need to blow everything up like I did. Sometimes, you just need clarity – and the courage to act on it.
