Hi, I’m Alex and I’m a resilience coach
I’m also a recovering over-achiever and someone who spent many years with low levels of resilience. Back then, I gave up at every little setback, held myself back, missed opportunities, and got caught in negative narratives – all because I lacked self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-belief.
I started my career as a City lawyer, then moved into publishing, and eventually found my way into the creative industries as a writer. I continue to write today and also host a podcast.
Resilience became the foundation and fuel for living more adventurously and wholeheartedly. By developing confidence, courage, clarity, and the ability to trust my intuition, I transformed from feeling stuck, numb, and dissatisfied to being open, enthusiastic, calm, and confident.
Even now, as a resilience coach, I still have days when I feel the opposite of these things. But now I have tools, strategies, and reserves of resilience to help me navigate those moments — and a perspective that allows me to keep moving forward.
This is exactly what I aim to bring to every life I work with as a resilience coach: the skills, insight, and energy to help people build resilience, trust themselves, and thrive in all areas of life. Helping people achieve this transformation is why I became a coach.
Are you ready to make a change?

You’re a resilience coach so why ‘Shore’?
I love the sea. As well as being a resilience coach, I’m a cold water swimming super fan and I love surfing. I’m pretty terrible at the latter. The sea for me is a place of challenge and exhilaration where you’re always going to be on the edge of your comfort zone. The shore is where the inherent natural strength of the land meets the transformative energy of the ocean – that combination of natural strength and transforming energy perfectly represents what being a resilience coach is about for me.
I came out of the sessions feeling as though I had gained huge insight, learnt some fantastic tools, and really changed my thinking..

“My sessions with Alex helped me turn on its head the way I was thinking about ‘change’ and ‘decisions’, and instead to come at the process from a range of new angles. I explored loads of new ideas which have been very constructive and applicable to a range of situations. The sessions felt very practical, I enjoyed the rigour of the research and the process that it took me on. I came out of the sessions feeling as though I had gained huge insight, learnt some fantastic tools, and really changed my thinking on a range of topics which were in some way limiting previously. I highly recommend coaching with Alex.”
