Clarity, Conviction, Confidence.

I help founders, leaders, and legacy builders make better decisions by revealing the hidden patterns behind success and conflict—from celestial timing to organisational dynamics.

"You don’t have to believe in astrology—just in timing, relationships, and patterns that repeat."

Before: A business succession stuck in gridlock.

After: Progress unlocked by recognising deeper dynamics—a Saturn return, a family script, a shift in roles.

Join the Clarity Revolution

Success can bring a strange kind of disorientation.

The systems still run, but the spark has gone.

Timing feels off. Decisions stall. Something no longer fits.

I’ve known that feeling—the slow shift from momentum to murk.

That’s when I learned to step back, trace the deeper pattern, and realign with what actually moves things forward.

That’s the work I do now—not with noise, but with calm, clear direction.

Over the years, I’ve worked across systems—social care, psychotherapy, education, and business—helping people untangle complexity when it matters most.

From consulting for local authorities to training at the Maudsley, from guiding family businesses to advising yacht company founders, the thread has been the same:

Find what’s stuck. See what’s shifting. Make the next move count.

I’ve written about psychoanalysis, Zen, and family systems.

But the real work?

That happens in conversation—when something clicks, and a new direction emerges.

If you think we’d work well together, we probably will.

There’s no rush.

What Brings You Here?

When Success Creates Distance

Rebalance work and home before the gap

becomes too wide to cross.

Quietly. Thoughtfully. Without blame.

You’ve built something real. Solid. Functional.

The business moves forward. The meetings go well. The hotel room is clean, and your team is sharp.

But back home, it’s different.

Your partner’s drained. The house feels noisy and chaotic.

The children—if we’re honest—are getting harder to reach.

And you feel it: the quiet distance widening.

This isn’t therapy.

It’s a space to speak plainly, to trace how things have drifted, and to begin the work of returning—steadily, without blame, and with more hope than you thought was still available.

Where Family and Business Intersect

Untangle roles, restore trust,

and plan for what’s next —

without losing what matters most.

Most businesses are family businesses—even when no one says so.

There’s trust, history, and loyalty.

But there’s also tension: blurred roles, silent expectations, and decisions made without alignment.

Sometimes one person carries too much—at work and at home.

Sometimes another feels quietly pushed out.

Whether it’s a small firm or a legacy enterprise, the same questions emerge:

Who decides? What’s fair? What comes next?

I help families find clarity—so the business can grow without losing what matters most.

Knowing When to Act — and When to Wait

Spend wisely, act deliberately,

and move in rhythm with what’s ready —

not just what’s urgent.

Some decisions need momentum. Others need patience.

The skill is knowing which is which.

In business—and in life—timing is what separates the rushed from the wise.

I help clients recognise inflection points: when to act, when to pause, and when a so-called ‘opportunity’ is just a polished distraction.

We look at cycles—economic, emotional, even celestial—to move in rhythm with what truly serves.

Not every cost is waste. Not every delay is fear.

Sometimes, the most powerful move is the one that waits until the time is right.

Moments That Matter

What Changes When You Reconnect

Clarity returns.

Decisions feel less reactive—more intentional.

The home becomes a refuge again, not another source of pressure.

Conversations with your partner soften. You reconnect with your children—not just as a provider, but as someone present.

The tension fades.

You stop drifting.

Direction returns—both professionally and personally.

Distractions lose their pull: fewer quick wins, fewer shiny colleagues.

You’re no longer trying to fix emotional distance through ambition or acquisition.

Instead, you invest where it counts—time, energy, money—used with clearer purpose.

You act in time. Not too early. Not too late. Just right.

When the Business Feels Less

Like a Battle

Roles become clearer—reducing friction and second-guessing.

Delegation improves. The founder steps back, and the business keeps moving.

Growth resumes—no longer blocked by unspoken tension or power struggles.

Family conversations shift—from reactive to constructive.

Succession planning becomes real, not just a future promise.

The next generation feels respected—recognised and actively included.

Decisions become quicker. Trust builds. Tension eases.

You stop confusing job titles with family roles.

The founder’s legacy is protected—financially, emotionally, ethically.

Hard choices happen earlier—saving time, money, and regret.

Momentum returns—to the business and the family.

When Timing Becomes
a Skill

You make better-timed decisions—not rushed, not missed, but right on cue.

Distractions lose their disguise. You see noise for what it is.

Investments become intentional—not reactive or driven by fear.

You spend wisely—knowing what’s waste, and what sustains growth.

Marketing and communications are funded when they should be—not cut in panic.

You protect your energy by pausing where needed, not pushing endlessly.

Cycles become visible. Downturns rarefy surprise you.

You stop over-correcting—because you’re responding, not reacting.

Decisions align with your broader goals.

You move with the grain. Risk becomes a tool.

What to Expect When We Talk.

Step 1.

Book a Free Consultation

This is a 20-minute call, held online, to see if we’re a good fit—nothing more.

I’m based in the UK, with availability on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday mornings.

You’re welcome to bring questions. I’ll ask a few too—just enough to see whether it makes sense to continue.

Step 2.

Reflect Without Pressure

If we both feel the connection is right, I’ll suggest a next step.

But there’s no urgency. Many clients take time to reflect—and that space is part of the process.

It gives clarity a chance to settle before decisions are made.

Step 3.

Begin When You're Ready

When the timing feels right, we begin.

Whether it’s a single session or a longer process, we’ll move with clarity, agreement, and the kind of calm structure that allows space to breathe—and think clearly.

What Others Have Found

Some insights are best described by those who lived them.

There’s a strange isolation that comes with success. Everyone thinks you have it sorted, but underneath you’re holding contradictions no one sees—ambition and doubt, confidence and guilt, momentum and fatigue.

Having Stephen on retainer has been like gaining a second consciousness—one that’s calmer, sharper, and entirely outside the drama. I don’t need to catch him up every time we speak. He remembers the deeper threads. He notices what’s changed. That continuity has been priceless.

Over time, I’ve stopped reacting from pressure and started responding from clarity. And oddly, things feel simpler now. Not easier—but simpler. I trust my timing more. I trust myself more. And I know who to call when it gets complicated again.”

Enough Skills To Set Up A Clinic

Stephen Bray is very important in my life and our association of Child Mental Health and Guidance (Care-der). Before he consulted with us at Care-der we had no family therapy clinic, and no training program. He provided us with the skills needed to set up not just a clinic, but also a training program.

The Way I Work—And Why It Matters

What You Can Expect With From Me:

Responsive When It CountsI prioritise what’s urgent—and reply quickly when timing matters.
Informed by Markets and MomentumI draw on current trends, structural shifts, and strategic signals.
Foresight Rooted in Real CyclesI use progressed charts and historical rhythms to help you anticipate, not react.
Clarity You Can Work WithMy reports are clear, elegant, and designed to support decisive action.
Insight as CollaborationYour perspective is part of the process—what we see together matters.
A Wider Lens Than MostMy background spans business, systems psychology, and timing—so you get more than one frame of reference.

What You Might Encounter with Others

Many consultants focus narrowly—on natal charts or business timing—without integrating family or psychological dynamics. Their advice is often standardised, slow to arrive, and hard to apply.
Therapists offer insight, but often miss the timing, structure, or leadership tensions that shape business decisions.
Astrologers may give accurate charts—but leave clients with generalities, not direction.
Executive coaches focus on goals, but not the deeper patterns beneath them.
Family business consultants help with structure, but may overlook emotion, timing, or personal stuckness.

Each has value—but few bring it together

I work at the point where timing, systems, and emotional insight converge—so you can move forward with clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to know anything about astrology to work with you?

Not at all. You don’t need to know your chart, your rising sign, or what Mercury is doing. I handle that part—you just bring your questions.

2. Is this therapy, coaching, or something else?

It’s a blend. I draw from psychology, systems thinking, and cycles including astrology to help you see patterns—then act on them. Some people come with business challenges. Others with family ones. Often, they overlap.

3. Can this really help with business or family decisions?

Yes. Timing matters. Roles matter. Dynamics matter. I help you see what’s playing out beneath the surface—and what’s trying to shift.

4. How are sessions structured?

Most clients start with a 20-minute consultation (via Zoom). If we are a good fit then I offer regular meetings, with suggestions for you to follow. After that, I may provide a written summary or continue with follow-up sessions, depending on your needs.

5. How soon can we start?

I respond quickly and keep space available for new clients. If something’s urgent, I’ll do my best to prioritise.

6. I’ve worked with astrologers before—how is this different?

Many consultants focus on charts. I focus on context. My background in therapy and business lets me connect the dots others may miss—and help you make decisions with more confidence.
