Welcome to a simple, yet meaningful life.
Are you someone in midlife trying to figure out what’s next?
Sometimes that question shows up around relationships.
Sometimes around work.
Sometimes as a quieter sense that life is shifting and something needs to change, even if it isn’t yet clear what.
I offer a private, one-to-one space to think things through and talk honestly about where you are and where life might be leading next.
Most of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware. They’re not starting from scratch — they’re at a point where something in them is ready to look more closely, question more deeply, and live a little more honestly.
About Richard
I work privately with people who find themselves at a point in life where something is changing, and they’re trying to work out what comes next.
Many are in midlife. Some are earlier or later. What they tend to share is a seriousness about looking at themselves honestly and a willingness to question the direction their life has taken so far.
I grew up in the UK and now live in California. Like many people, I’ve moved through my own periods of change — in work, in relationships, and in how I understood myself. Over time, I became interested in the quieter moments when life begins to shift: when old roles no longer fit in quite the same way, and the next chapter isn’t fully clear yet.
That in-between space can be unsettling, but it can also be important.
The work I do is simple and private. It’s not a programme and there’s no fixed agenda. It’s a place to slow down, talk things through, and look carefully at what’s happening — in your life, your relationships, and your sense of direction.
Many of the people I speak with are already reflective. They’ve done a lot of thinking, and often a lot of adapting. What they’re looking for isn’t advice so much as a steady space where they can be honest, make sense of things, and begin to see what the next stage of life might be asking of them.
I work one-to-one, online, with a small number of people at any time.

If you feel you might be at a point where something is shifting, and you’d like a space to talk things through, you’re welcome to get in touch.
You don’t need to write anything formal. A few lines about where you are in life and what’s on your mind is more than enough.
I’ll reply personally, and we can take it from there.

My articles explore many of the questions that tend to arise at turning points in life; identity, relationships, direction, and the quieter process of trying to live more honestly with yourself.
They’re where I think things through in public, and where many people first recognise something of their own experience. You’re welcome to begin anywhere and see what resonates.
