I have gained so much insight from the coaching sessions with Adrian. He is incredibly skilful at being able to deeply listen, condense your thoughts into the core issues and then set exercises that actively clarify a way forward. This has been extremely helpful for me to align my actions with my values and feel like I’m working from a strong and balanced foundation. The sessions have honed my sense of purpose plus boosted my confidence and drive to achieve set goals. As well as all of this, it’s just been a pleasure spending time with Adrian, talking about topics we are both passionate about, and enjoying his grounding presence. - James

My husband went on retreat with Adrian last year. I was happy to support him to do this because we’d had a challenging few years during which time he was very over-stretched, and he needed some time away from family commitments and space to clear his head and reflect. I didn’t really have any expectations of what it would do for him, or where it would lead. I thought if nothing else it sounded like a good break, in a beautiful part of the world, with tasty food and maybe he’d meet some interesting people. When he returned he talked about it a bit, in very glowing terms, but it has taken me quite a while to really understand the depth to which the retreat experience affected him. I think the 24-hour solo in particular changed his life. In the months since his return I’ve seen a real transformation. His self-belief is so much stronger, he is happier in himself. He is reinvigorated and more in love with life. He is less frustrated, with better mental health. His emotions seem more in flow, and balanced, he is more consistent and it seems to be more effortless. I think the time with other men to explore what constitutes a good man was enormously helpful for him. The opportunity to really talk about his own masculinity as well as his own emotional life, has had such a positive impact. In Adrian he found a guide, a teacher and a friend – someone he can look up to and be honest with. The retreat has led to a long-term shift, both in James’s personal life and in our family as a whole – and the benefits seem to keep on growing! - RG - past Coachee's partner
