About Ian

I am the founder of Personal Reset, a private one-to-one wellbeing and personal development service supporting people through periods of pressure, burnout, life transition, relationship difficulties, confidence challenges, emotional overwhelm, and times when something no longer feels aligned or sustainable.

Clients often describe me as approachable, easy to talk to, and able to help them gain clarity and perspective without judgement or pressure. I also understand pressure personally — rebuilding after setbacks, navigating demanding seasons of life, and recognising when something no longer fits.

My approach brings together evidence-informed psychology, wellbeing and human performance with practical life experience. I recognise that work, relationships, physical health, lifestyle, confidence, stress and recovery are often interconnected. Rather than relying on a single approach, support is tailored to the individual and their circumstances.

I hold an MSc in Occupational Psychology and a BSc in Psychology, and have worked across psychological wellbeing, neurodivergent support, behaviour change, resilience and performance-focused environments, including psychology roles within government settings. My background also includes personal training, health and fitness, and many years of supporting people through demanding periods of life and change.

Before this, I served as a Royal Navy Physical Training Instructor, where I learned how resilience, confidence and performance develop best when people feel supported, understood and able to remain steady under pressure.

How I Work

My work is collaborative, reflective and tailored to the individual.

Sessions provide a confidential space to step back from pressure, gain perspective, explore what may be contributing to current challenges, and identify meaningful ways forward.

There is no expectation to have everything figured out before you arrive. Together, we make sense of what is happening, identify priorities and develop practical ways forward that feel realistic and sustainable.

Some people find the Initial Personal Reset Session provides the clarity they need, while others choose to continue with ongoing support. Where further sessions are helpful, they provide space to build on insights over time, establish new habits and explore different ways of responding to challenges.
