This is a 3, 6, or 12 month journey into who you are beneath the noise.
So many men look successful on the outside, but feel stuck, burnt out, and disconnected underneath. And it really affects their performance, their relationship and their sense of purpose and direction. They don't know who they are, or what makes them happy anymore.
They feel lost!
If you're feeling this then you're in the right place.
I help you get honest about what's going on for you and what needs to change. We look at the parts of yourself you have been avoiding and the story you've created that kept you safe until now, but it no longer serves you.
People come to me when they are close to breaking point and they need to change.
Maybe their relationship is falling apart, their direction feels unclear, the pressure of life is gtting to much, and they don’t know how to fix any of it.
My approach combines psychology, emotional regulation, spirituality and practical coaching with grounded, real-world application. No fluff. No endless talking without change.
I sit in the middle between clinical and woo-woo and provide a service that gets to the point, and gets results.
I don't deal with surface-level insight. I help you go deep and figure shit out, identify the patterns, behaviours, and internal blocks that are keeping you stuck, and we work to remove them, so you and the people around you can live in peace and joy.
It’s hard work though. I won't be holding your hand and agreeing with you. This is about taking radical responsibility and creating real shifts in how you think, feel, and show up.
So many men look successful on the outside, but feel stuck, burnt out, and disconnected underneath.
And it really affects their performance, their relationship and their sense of purpose, direction and authentic expression.
Honestly, so many men don't know who they are, or what makes them happy anymore….
And they feel emotionally isolated, unable to access their emotions and heal the parts of them blocking their growth.
So they come to me when they feel close to breaking point and they need things to change!
If that's you then you're in the right place!
Maybe your relationship is under pressure, you feel lost, or the weight of life is just too much and you're checking out.
This is where I can help.
I've helped countless men who reach a stage of life where they struggle with this. I help you identify the patterns, behaviours, and internal blocks that are keeping you stuck, and we deal with them together in a a safe and supportive space.
My approach
My approach blends: psychology, behavioural science, emotional regulation, shadow work and transformational coaching.
Clients have told me that my methods sit in the middle between clinical psychology and “woo-woo" spirituality, and feels like really practical and relatable coaching.
No fluff. No endless talking. Insight - Action - Change.
It's therapeutic, grounded, direct, and focused on results.
This isn’t surface-level work.
It’s about going deep, taking radical responsibility, and changing how you think, feel, and show up in the world.
So many men don't feel safe to open up, theres an quiet internal fear of being judged, ridiculed or feeling like a failure.
That's why I do what I do, because I understand how this happens, and no man should feel alone with his pain.
It’s not easy.
But it works.
My Story
Hi, I’m David. I’m a husband, father of four, coach and founder of Mantra Menswork, but more than that, I’m someone who’s been lost, disconnected, near suicide and built myself back up from rock bottom..
For a long time, I looked like I had it together. Career, family, direction. But underneath, I was burnt out, disconnected, and struggling with who I was meant to be; as a man, a partner, and a provider.
Before this, I was an elite-level Judo athlete and 2nd Dan black belt travelling the world competing for GB. My whole life was built around discipline, competition, and pushing through.
But when that chapter ended, I had nothing solid underneath it and becoming a father brought everything to the surface and I hit a my rock bottom.
I tried therapy and counselling. It helped me talk, but it didn’t change how I was living. It didnt change how I was showing up. I circled round the past and started to understand but couldnt embody the change.
The real shift came when I started doing the deeper work. Not just understanding myself, but rebuilding from the inside out. Learning how to regulate myself. Take responsibility. Reconnect with what actually mattered.
Over the last decade, I’ve combined my background in elite performance with deep personal work to create an approach that is both grounded and practical.
Discipline from sport. Compassion from family life. Knowledge from 10 years of training. And embodied experience of going through it myself.
Now I want to help any man who feels the way I felt, and support him to turn his life around.

I didn’t realise how much I needed this until I started. David created a space where I could finally be honest with myself. I feel clearer, stronger, and more connected than I’ve felt in years.

What are the benefits of coaching
Clarity and Direction
My coaching helps you cut through the noise and understand what you truly want, then build a path to get there.
Accountability and Progress
With regular sessions and clear goals, you're held accountable to the things you say you want, No more drifting, avoiding, or waiting for “someday.”
Break Through Limiting Beliefs
My coaching brings awareness to the stories, patterns, and blocks that have held you back and gives you the tools to move beyond them.
Emotional Resilience
You’ll learn how to respond to life with more groundedness, less reactivity, and a deeper sense of inner strength.
Greater Self-Connection
Reconnect with your values, your purpose, and who you really are beneath the stories, projections and expectations.
Improved Relationships
Whether it’s how you show up in partnership, parenthood, or leadership coaching helps you lead with more compassion, honesty, and strength.
Confidence & Self-Belief
Learn to trust yourself again. Build the inner confidence to make decisions, set boundaries, and stand strong in who you are.
Strong Self-Leadership
No more overthinking or second guessing. Leading your life. Less chaos, more clarity. Less firefighting, more stability. Feeling like you are in charge of your life instead of reacting to it.
Deep Inner Work
Face the parts of yourself you avoid; the anger, fear, shame, insecurity, or need for control - and turn them into strength, clarity, and self-respect rather than self-sabotage.
