Helping individuals recover, grow and perform at their best, and organisations to develop stronger leaders and teams.
Men are often expected to cope, carry on and work things out for themselves. Many become very good at doing exactly that. But coping isn't the same as thriving. Men don't need fixing. They need to understand how their minds work, practical tools to strengthen their mental fitness and, sometimes, someone in their corner.
The Wingman Project exists to make it normal for men to invest in their mental fitness, and to help organisations create environments where people can develop, lead and perform at their best.
The Wingman Project combines practical coaching, neuroscience and solution focused hypnotherapy to help men navigate life's challenges, build mental fitness and perform at their best, and to help organisations develop their leaders, teams and people through a practical, forward-focused approach.
The focus is on understanding how we think and behave, what we can influence and what we can do differently, without assuming that change requires continually revisiting the past.
A Wingman is someone in your corner. Someone who helps you think clearly, regain perspective, challenge what’s holding you back and support you in moving forward.

For men dealing with stress, anxiety or challenging life circumstances. Recover helps you regain stability, rebuild confidence and develop the resilience to move forward.
For men who are functioning well but know there's more they want from themselves and their lives. Build confidence, purpose, resilience, stronger relationships and mental fitness.
For men whose performance matters. Develop the mental habits, confidence and focus to think clearly, stay composed and access your abilities when the pressure is on.
We start with a free initial consultation. It’s an opportunity to talk about what’s going on, what you’d like to change and how I might be able to help. There’s no commitment to continue.
If we decide to work together, we’ll agree the approach that best suits what you want to achieve. I’ll explain how we’ll work together, whether that involves coaching, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy or a combination of both, including some simple neuroscience to help you understand what’s happening in your brain and why the approach can help.
Helping leaders think differently, lead better and perform under pressure. I won’t tell you how to lead; through questioning, challenge and reflection, I’ll help you think clearly and discover how you want to lead.
Tailored programmes combining practical psychology, neuroscience, coaching and facilitated discussion to help men better understand themselves, develop useful skills and put what they learn into practice.
Helping people better understand themselves and develop practical tools they can use straight away. The Wingman Project workshops combine practical neuroscience, psychology and coaching with real-world commercial experience to explore how we think, communicate, respond to pressure and perform at our best.
We start by understanding what you want to achieve, the challenges you’re facing and who you want to support. From there, we’ll recommend the most appropriate approach, whether that's executive coaching, a workshop or a longer-term men's mental fitness programme, and agree the objectives, format and measures of success together.
