"I worked with Piers for 8 months. During this period a number of miracles occurred in my life and Piers is at the source of these. I generated £275,000...I healed many emotional issues.

Piers has the type of listening that is a rarity in these times – one can HEAR his listening.

He was an immoveable stand for everything I wanted to heal and accomplish.

Financial goals – I generated £275,000 revenue into my business whilst building an amazing pipeline of deals for the future.

I healed many emotional issues that had left me limited in what I wanted to achieve - Piers lifted the lid on what was possible.

He is beyond kind and caring. I have worked with many business coaches however with Piers you get the X Factor because this is not a business transaction to him.

I have my life back and I am forever grateful to this beautiful human.

One of the best investments I ever made was doing the coaching with him. If you have come across Piers then it is no coincidence – reach out and watch the synchronicities show up in your life!"

"I’ve always been suspicious of the words “life changing”, because I’ve spent a decade or two trying to change my life without success. But those words do apply to Piers.

A few months ago I googled “boarding school survivor”, and his website appeared - as soon as I started reading, I felt a connection with Piers as someone who had experienced what I was feeling, not just a professional who had trained off somebody else’s experience.

This has been the key to our work together, that Piers makes it clear that he is still working on himself, and that the traditional teacher/pupil relationship does not apply - we have been learning together, using his great wealth of experience, study and hard work, and also drawing in everything I have been doing for many years, so that it is not wasted.

Piers has this skill, this gift, to lead you on your own journey, walking the new path together, but it is your path.

He helped me pick up all the threads I had dropped over the years, and he truly changed my life, bringing those threads together through his own warm, joyful and open-hearted presence.

Thank you Piers."

"Piers has given me a marvellous toolkit of methods and mental models that have transformed my life and allowed me to be present in the moment. "

"As an ex-boarder who was sent away aged eight, I have struggled for many years with feelings of abandonment, alienation, anger, detachment, lack of self-worth, and a nagging sense of victimhood that coloured everything.

I’d made great strides to move beyond many of these feelings, when I was diagnosed with cancer in 2016. This, and the treatment, undid all the previous efforts and left me in a very dark place, unable to progress, reverting to ancient patterns of thought and behaviour from my childhood.

The impact of meeting Piers, and the coaching sessions I have had, has blown away these painful thoughts and patterns.

Piers has given me a marvellous toolkit of methods and mental models that have transformed my life and allowed me to be present in the moment.

I am extraordinarily grateful for the time we have spent working on my journey together and would encourage anyone struggling with similar issues to contact him.

"Working with Piers was such a useful experience.

He was practical, effective, patient and very technically able. I liked his no nonsense approach and thought he balanced it really well with a very warm and non-judgmental attitude.

We identified and worked through some significant things with a lot of ease and no drama. Just what I needed. I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”

"If you are looking for someone to help you free yourself from a boarding school legacy, you should get in touch with Piers sooner rather than later and begin freeing yourself from the emotional blocks that may still be with you...

"I have been working with Piers for about 7 weeks now and I am amazed how different I feel. There are deep changes afoot within me and I am excited by the new world that is beginning to open. I stumbled across the concept of a “Boarding School Syndrome” on the internet and read “The Making of Them” by Nick Duffell and found such a connection with what Nick writes about that I was compelled to find someone to work with on the issues I recognised from my own boarding school experience.

I read about Piers and the work he does on this subject, read extracts from his book and watched some of his podcasts. When we met via Zoom, I immediately felt he was the one to guide me as his gentle and understanding approach made me feel straight away that I could trust and engage with him in this deep and personal work.

Having had a tortuous journey himself, the understanding he brings is special. I feel very lucky that our paths have crossed and can only recommend that if you are looking for someone to help you free yourself from a boarding school legacy, you should get in touch with Piers sooner rather than later and begin freeing yourself from the emotional blocks that may still be with you."

"Over just a matter of weeks my world has changed from a place of despair to one of hope and excitement...

"I was near rock bottom and very close to another marriage ending with all the associated trauma and drama. On and off over the years I have been through what i have come to term as conventional 'how does that make you feel' counselling and the sad writing once again seemed to be on the wall.

The approach Piers takes is very different, very effective and with his help, over just a matter of weeks my world has changed from a place of despair to one of hope and excitement. It has been a tough, tearful journey at times but Piers has taught me to deal with past difficulties and to enjoy the journey. I now also have an armoury to deal with the inevitable future challenges. Thank you Piers."

Martyn, UK, March 2021

"He has helped me to connect with and let go of much of the fear, anger and grief that I now recognise I have been carrying from my youth into my adulthood...

"I have been working with Piers for 6 months and over that period he has helped me to connect with and let go of much of the fear, anger and grief that I now recognise I have been carrying from my youth into my adulthood.

His support and guidance through a very well held process of identifying and addressing challenges has been invaluable in helping me explore and engage with my healthy masculine.

I highly recommend Piers as a transformational coach and therapist."



Rajni Patel, UK, March 2021

"He has helped me to explore my upbringing in boarding schools and to accept the parts of myself I have denied or forgotten about in my rush to push ahead in my career...

 Original Review (Nov 2019): "Recently, I have begun working with Piers and wanted to share a small part of my experience working with him. As someone who came to him looking to understand (and work through) how events in my life have shaped me, I must say working with him as been wonderful.

He has been so kind, open-hearted and willing to share what has worked for himself as we develop my personal practice, healing, and insights together.

I feel I am beginning to learn for the first time what it means to be a more balanced and connected man.

Very much recommend reaching out to him whether it is here, by email or a call. He is responsive and displays a rare level of authenticity in these times."

"One year later: I have now been working with Piers for a year and can confirm everything that I said in my original review still holds true - and more.

Since working with Piers I have continued to develop a connection to my feeling side that I have struggled with for many years. I have found within me a hunger and need to connect with stories of our past, of what it means to flourish as a man in today's world, and how to bring my inner/outer selves into balance.

He has helped me to explore my upbringing in boarding schools and to accept the parts of myself I have denied or forgotten about in my rush to push ahead in my career. There is much more to life than your career, and I cherish what Piers has taught me about all of these other areas of life.

I cannot recommend working with him enough. It all starts with reaching out to him just to talk. You will find him a welcoming and accepting mentor." (Nov 2020)

"I ask all men who are interested in change to work with Piers, knowing you are in the best hands.

"Recently I had another heart-opening session with Piers, where I could feel so close to myself like I have not experienced it for years.

I am so grateful for his work. It's an honor to know him and to work with him. I highly appreciate his passionate dedication, his empathy, and incomparable sense for what's really going on.

Associated with this incredible gift, that when working with him, you can sense that there is nothing wrong with you. This prepares the ground for total trust so that every man can show up in his vulnerability, that healing is possible.

I ask all men who are interested in change to work with Piers, knowing you are in the best hands. Be ready for miracles because they will occur.
Thank you, Piers!
