From the kitchen floor
to the coaching room

I've been where you are. I've run the passes, managed the teams, absorbed the pressure, and learned — sometimes the hard way — what it actually takes to lead people in this industry.

After three decades on the front line, from crew member to general manager at some of the UK's most demanding establishments, I stepped back to answer a bigger question: why does hospitality keep losing its best people?

The answer wasn't complicated. It was leadership. And so My Mental Kitchen was born — a consultancy dedicated to transforming how hospitality leaders show up for their teams, every single day.

Mission: better leadership

Leadership that people
actually want to follow

Leadership Coaching

One-to-one and group coaching for hospitality leaders ready to move beyond firefighting and into genuine, sustainable leadership. Built around accountability, not fear.

Team Culture Training

Bespoke programmes that transform workplace culture from the ground up. Based on the 30% Rule and the principle that guest hospitality is impossible without employee hospitality.

Mental Health Facilitation

Facilitated mental health discussions for whole companies — positioning leadership alongside their teams, not above them. A powerful reset for any hospitality business.

Live Fire Catering

Through The Gipsy Hill Smokehouse, I bring premium live fire catering to events across South East London — the craft of hospitality made visceral and memorable.

"Guest hospitality is impossible without employee hospitality. Accountability flourishes through care and clarity — never through fear."
