Founders & Owners: Health & Medical Professionals: 2025
I had both business and personal issues that needed attention. A friend recommended Stephen to me, and I’m so glad they did. What stood out about Stephen was his background in business. That meant I could bring business-related challenges into the room—most of which, for me, come down to people.At the same time, I’ve worked through many personal issues with Stephen. I find my time with him incredibly valuable. His unique combination of coaching and therapy is the game changer for me. Traditional therapy rarely offers this blend, and it truly feels like the best of both worlds. On top of that, he’s just a genuinely lovely human being. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending him, and everyone I’ve referred to him has thanked me afterwards.

Working with Stephen has been a transformative experience, both personally and professionally. I initially sought his support at a time when family bereavement tipped what had been an already hectic personal and professional life into overwhelm.

Stephen creates an incredibly safe and supportive space, which has allowed me to engage in meaningful and sometimes difficult personal exploration.

Global Enablement Leader: Software Development Industry: 2025
I had the chance to work with Stephen over 2 years, after a recommendation highlighting his extensive experience in personal and professional development. Initially the engagement started with my personal journey and enabled me to understand my story, both my strengths, weaknesses and areas that needed more focused attention. This part of our journey, fed into my professional life, where the questions asked and discussed empowered me to reset my personal goals and professional expectations, and to more importantly learn the tools to make better decisions and be a better leader.
I would highly recommend Stephen as a Therapist and Coach. His background in both helps to support all aspects of personal and professional growth.
Corporate Vice President 2024
Stephen has a gift for helping you to see your life and your story in a completely fresh light. I have been working with him for 6 years and in that time everything has improved because of the journey he has guided me on. Stephen’s process focuses on helping you to rediscover the stories that shaped you and trying to get a deeper understanding of how they affect you every day. For me, it’s like creating a blueprint of my head and I have found the discoveries I’ve made very powerful. On the days it really works you get a visit from your smaller self and learn something invaluable to make your life easier. Everyone should be doing this type of therapy.
One of the biggest questions which brought me to Stephen was how to work with family in business. He quite literally helped save and nurture our whole family dynamic within the family business. Whilst we have a very exciting business it is also challenging to balance the creative within a strict business principle. Working with Stephen helps create flow within the business and a greater understanding of how to maximize potential. The process can be personally challenging, but this is where coaching and therapy can blend to give a unique perspective to both life and business; especially a family business. I recommend Stephen 100%. He is special.
Family Business: Designer: Fashion 2023
At the time I met Stephen I was working in a highly stressful role with a tech multinational where no amount of work ever seemed to be ‘enough’ and consequently I felt that I was not ‘enough’. In both the personal and professional context, I found myself wanting to finally come to grips with the question of, “what is the way to live?” Working with Stephen led me to realize that working in this role was not the best fit as it did not align with who I am and what makes me happiest. I left this role to start my own consulting practice and to chart a professional path of my own. Working with Stephen has been nothing less than life changing. Stephen has led an incredibly full life from which he draws upon and delivers.

What makes working with Stephen so effective for me is not only has he helped me understand myself, but he has given me incredible insight into how to understand others; particularly colleagues, employees & suppliers.

Stephen is not just a smart and intelligent human being, who is wonderful company, he is also astute and commercially aware. What began as curiosity in me turned into incredible self-discovery and has ended up with my also having an insightful business coach. I couldn’t recommend Stephen highly enough.

I came to Stephen having just been made redundant from a role I had poured myself into for many years. My self-esteem had hit an all-time low and I found it particularly challenging to find the confidence to move forward and find my place in the world. Stephen was a a superb listener and more importantly he asked the right questions of me. With Stephen’s support I stepped into a fantastic new role, which I love. It hasn’t been without its challenges but Stephen continued to support me in stepping up and taking responsibility for myself. Stephen has a phenomenal ability to marry coaching and therapy. To achieve long term growth each is critical.
Director Of Corporate Relations
A career crisis led to a personal identity crisis, and this brought me to Stephen.

I have developed greater self-confidence which has facilitated significant career development. My relationship with Stephen has been a “game changer” for my career and has enabled me to better align my strengths, development needs and career opportunities. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen.

My relationships and my business are both healthier because of our work together.
Business Owner: Food & Hospitality 2023
I came to Stephen at a very low point in my professional & personal life. I didn’t know who I was, what I was doing, where I was going. Over the years Stephen gently led me down some very scary places, places I needed to go, that I had chosen not to hoping they would go away. As my personal life improved, I began to trust myself more and began to feel ready to take on the professional challenges I faced. My leadership of my school has improved. I am more pro-active, more engaged and more confident. It is a big statement, but I believe Stephen “saved me”. I highly recommend Stephen as mentor, coach & therapist. In school talk he gets an A+ from me.

I came to Stephen at a time in my life when I felt “lost” and frustrated. Broadly I came to try and understand myself and the path of my life. What I have attained is a greater awareness of my thoughts and how to “press pause” and subject them to careful scrutiny. I now have a greater awareness of how my past might be influencing my present. Stephen has helped me grow and achieve some wisdom. Stephen has a wonderful calm and gentle presence and exudes a love of his work. I would absolutely recommend Stephen and have done so to a number of my friends.

I worked with Stephen over Zoom as I live internationally outside of Ireland. Working with Stephen really helped me process the life events, professional and personal, that I had been encountering over the last few years. Stephen then gave me some “tools” to help me navigate through other life events going forward. I am grateful for the insights he has given me into my logical and experiential self. It is OK to not be perfect all the time! I am looking forward to my future.
