Charles grew up in the Lake District which probably explains his love of wilderness and wide open spaces. Graduating from Umist with a Ph. D., the next 30 or so years were spent in manufacturing in a variety of locations in leadership roles. Over those years he was the architect of many successes delivering key points of differentiation for the business. In parallel to this he became interested in complimentary approaches to health and eventually in parallel with his regular job in 2004 he started training in clinical hypnotherapy. In 2008 he started training with Barbara Brennan, graduating in 2012 and in parallel to this he spent 3 years training to become a shamanic practitioner.
Following his years in business he set up his own practice as a personal change agent deploying the skills he continues to learn and integrate into his “coaching” practice. He believes deeply that people can achieve for more than they normally expect and that we can tap into this potential, often unrecognised, with appropriate guidance.
He has a busy practice facilitating change for individuals often with a business background who are looking to live a fuller life.
