My Story

You already know something needs to change

Are you wanting more? To actually fulfil your potential, to have a flourishing life of connection and contribution, to bring yourself most fully to the world?

Fear's got you stuck, unable to break out of your patterns. You're feeling restricted by a sense of obligation to others. You think you'll fail if you try.

But maybe if you go on like this, you'll look back and know that you missed the chance to live the life you actually want.

There's more to life than this. And there's more to you than this.

I've been where you are

I went from stuck, lost, lonely and broke to feeling radically alive — living a life of transformation, adventure, deep belonging and meaning, and profound connection everywhere I go.

I was
  • Living at home with my parents, back in the town I grew up in
  • Thousands of dollars in debt
  • Never had a girlfriend
  • Stuck with no idea how to get out
  • Scared, bored and alone
Now I
  • Have lived across dozens of countries on 4 continents, building community in each place
  • Land six-figure jobs
  • Cultivate life-long friendships and community with wonderful humans
  • Have dated incredible, high-achieving women, including a six-year relationship
  • Built consistent secure attachment
  • Coach some of the world's most successful people

This transformation wasn't an accident

I don't come to coaching as a detached expert. I lived the problem deeply. After university I was broke and lost — no idea what to do with my life, no idea how to find the answer. For a while I was just searching for a map.

It took a few years, but gradually I stumbled into tools, frameworks, and entire communities that helped me find myself. Through a decade of transformational work on my character and my career, through training and continually putting myself at the edge of my comfort zone, I found the version of myself I always knew I could become.

I help people wanting radical transformation

Together we:

Map your entire life
Figure out the beliefs, fears and patterns that have you stuck
Work out what you really want
Plan the actions and build the strategies to guarantee change, both inside you and externally in the world
Create accountability mechanisms to ensure progress is continual
Build the orientation to yourself so you act from joy and excitement rather than obligation and self-criticism

If you want change, take action. If you wait another year you'll still be stuck, and you'll be a year older. Act now, and in a year your life could be transformed more than you can imagine.

Message me now to take the first step. Just say "Hi Simmo, I want to change my life. Let's talk about coaching."

If you don't make the change, you risk being ever more stuck. Inaction leads to inaction. The longer you wait the harder it gets.

I'm selfish: I want a world full of people bringing their gifts and living with full authenticity. Below are some testimonials from people I've worked with. Get in touch now, if it's time for you to shake things up.

Is This for You

Does this sound familiar?

You're accomplished, yet something keeps you from living fully
You're socially capable, but something keeps you on the outside of real intimacy
You've tried new cities, projects or roles, hoping the next context would solve it, but you still haven't found what you want
Fear, inertia or old patterns prevent you from stepping into your potential
You want to build a life that feels alive, expansive and self-directed
You struggle to choose clearly, set boundaries or commit to what matters most
You crave community but keep ending up in loose networks rather than real belonging
You're ready to do something different. Not just small tweaks

What This Is

How we work together

A flourishing life isn't stumbled into. It emerges through trainable capacities and deliberate choices about how to live, relate, and engage with the world.

Coaching with me is structured experimentation, honest reflection, and real integration. Not therapy, not passive, not advice-only. A rigorous process of moving from stuckness to clarity to action.

Three Domains

Where the work happens

We work across one or more of three interconnected domains, depending on what's most alive and necessary for you.

01
Presence & Aliveness
From stuckness or anxiety to responsiveness and courage. Living fully, cultivating energy, attunement and readiness to engage with challenges, people and opportunities as they actually are.
02
Agency & Self-Trust
From self-betrayal to self-sovereignty. Owning your boundaries, choices and commitments without compromise or avoidance. No longer beholden to others' approval or the weight of old guilt.
03
Life & Engagement
From drift and isolation to meaningful action and belonging. Designing and inhabiting work, projects, communities and routines that reinforce growth, fulfilment and genuine connection.

What Clients Say

In their own words

"During a major breakup, I was about to handle things in a way that would have made everything astronomically worse. Simmo's coaching was pivotal and made the whole process go a million times better. Hard to overstate the impact. The shift has improved multiple aspects of my life and relationships."
Alex Large
Former Head of Knowledge, Alvea
"Through coaching, I finally did the most important thing in my life that I had been avoiding for years. The shift has transformed multiple aspects of my life."
Johnson Ramsaur
Research Project Manager, RAND
"Simmo will force you to review your life, clarify a goal, and act on it within a few sessions. I'd recommend coaching especially to people in my position."
Alex Kleinman
Co-founder & Director of Operations, Panoplia Laboratories
"I found our session particularly useful in helping me break down a big decision and sort out what I actually needed to know. This helped me approach others with clear questions rather than trying to figure out in the moment what mattered."
Cate Hall
CEO, Astera Institute. Former World #1 Female Poker Player
"When I reached out, I was new to a city, had no community, and felt anxious about taking action in my life. I wanted connection, impact and clarity, but didn't know where to start. Working together, I realised my avoidance and dread came from masking and overthinking rather than a lack of ability or desire. I learned to step into life directly, even when uncomfortable. I went to events I had been avoiding. Not only did they expand my social network, but they led to meaningful friendships and opportunities I would never have had otherwise. I now approach my choices with clarity and confidence. I actively seek experiences that make me feel alive. My anxiety around taking action has drastically decreased."

Foundations

Practices I draw from

My coaching synthesises a range of evidence-based and practitioner-developed modalities, chosen for what actually works in real life.

Needs-based communication for navigating conflict, expressing difficult truths, and building empathic understanding in relationships and groups.
GROW Coaching
Goal-oriented structure for supporting individuals in moving from stuck to clear. Applied across 1:1 coaching to help clients move from insight to action.
Applied Rationality (CFAR)
Cognitive tools for clearer thinking and reducing motivated reasoning. 4-day CFAR immersion graduate; applied to help clients see their patterns more clearly.
Conflict & Repair
Supporting people through hard conversations, interpersonal ruptures, and the work of rebuilding trust. Drawn from NVC, AR, and years of direct facilitation experience.
Somatic Awareness & IFS
Body-based approaches to emotional processing combined with Internal Family Systems parts work, for deeper, more embodied access to what's actually happening inside.
Meditation & Mindfulness
Two 10-day Vipassana silent retreats and years of sustained practice across multiple traditions. Informs coaching presence and the capacity to sit with difficulty without reacting.
Attachment Theory
Understanding how early relational patterns shape present behaviour in friendship, romance and work. A core lens for helping clients build more secure ways of connecting.
