Testimonials
“Contacting Max was the best thing I did last year. I wasn’t sure at first if ‘life coaching’ was for people like me – I thought it was for high flying business people! However, my assumptions were wrong.
Being able to talk openly and frankly without fear of judgement is such a release. After each session I fell so much more relaxed and calm – ready to face everyone and what ‘life’ has to throw at me.
It’s not all been easy – having to face up to the realisation that my actions create behaviour both in myself and in others, and recognise things that I have to take responsibility for and change.
Life coaching has helped me in all aspects of my life. I’m learning to take time, stop and think and maybe, things aren’t all that bad. I’m now in training to see more of the positive and less of the negative, it’s not an overnight fix.
The best thing is realising that my thoughts and fears are normal. That we are all important – including me, as well as my family, friends and colleagues.
That it’s OK to be me and it’s OK just to be.”

Max’s open-minded and non-judgemental approach towards how to deal with the stresses, challenges and problems of today’s living is the most comforting and reassuring assistance anyone could want from a life coach.
I must have seen a dozen counsellors over the years but it wasn’t until I met Max that my life finally started to turn around.
His help has been invaluable in restoring my confidence to go forward with my business, my relationships and that most elusive of things – starting to like myself again!

“After some major personal upheavals I felt that I had come to a crossroads in my life. I needed to get over the bad things that had happened to me and still effected me nearly everyday and to refocus my life and find new purpose. I had been to several counsellors in the past – but they did not help.
I discovered Max’s website and decided to contact him.
Over the course of about 3 months with Max’s help and guidance I have managed to get my life back on track, I no longer fear the future like I used too, and have seen some major positive changes; the most significant was being re-united with my family after 4 years.
I cannot recommended Max highly enough, if your looking for some personal guidance, a shoulder to cry on, or something deeper, then give him a try – at the end of the day you have nothing to loose and everything to gain.”
- George, Manchester
“I contacted Max after I felt I was ‘drowning’ at work and increasingly unable to cope with the stress in my life. I have to say as someone who has never had any type of ‘therapy’ and didn’t want to go down this route, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
I found that each time I visited I felt so much better afterwards.
Max is both patient and friendly, and extremely positive, he always managed to turn a negative into a positive. He is able to drill down to what is really going on in your life, but most importantly provide some solutions as to how you can deal with things, not in great giant leaps, but little steps that accumulate.
Sometimes I think its important for someone not connected to you to give you some perspective and provide some unprejudiced solutions.
I tried most of the ‘exercises’ some worked some didn’t but somehow all of them were quite useful, some of them really got me out of hole. I have found visiting Max extremely useful and would recommend him to anyone wanting practical solutions to the various problems that life can throw at you.”
- Lesley, Manchester
“If you’re apprehensive or slightly cynical about life coaching, you’ll change your mind after talking to Max. His enthusiasm was uplifting, and, I left the conversation feeling motivated and more positive about my body hang-ups. Speak to him and I swear you’ll be left feeling pretty amazing by the end of the conversation!”

“Max is like the Baal Shem Tov meets Jim Morrison, meets Johnny Rotten. Knows some things, gets what pisses people off… feels deeply… a bit of a rebel in a time where being a rebel is quite ordinary… He’s a sixteenth century kinda dude living in the age of the sound bite.”
