When behaviour, conflict, withdrawal or disengagement has become difficult to resolve. I work privately with families to restore direction, authority, communication and stability.
26+ Years of Direct Experience
I have spent more than 26 years working directly with young male's and their families. That experience informs the highly specialised private family work that I provide today.
My objective is simple: "to help the family move forward when they have reached a point where they no longer know what to do next".
Discretion Comes First
I work with high-profile individuals and families and maintain strict discretion around all client relationships. I do not publish personal testimonials or identify the families I have worked with. The privacy of those I support is much more important than public endorsement to me.

Private Behavioural Interventions for Families with Young Male's Aged 15–25
You May Be Here Because…
Your son’s behaviour has become increasingly difficult to manage and what once felt manageable within the family has become a source of persistent conflict, frustration or concern.
Perhaps there is increasing defiance, withdrawal, disengagement from school or university, a breakdown in communication or a growing loss of parental authority.
You may have tried different approaches, sought professional advice or simply hoped things would improve but they haven’t and you have reached the point where you are asking:
“What do we do now?”
This is often the point at which my private, experienced and directly delivered intervention's can make a significant difference.
The Outcome
The aim is not simply to manage behaviour. It is to create meaningful and sustainable change within the young male and the wider family.
Families working with me can begin to move forward from conflict, uncertainty and repeated breakdowns and head towards:
Typical areas of change may include:
re-engagement with education or purposeful activity; reduced conflict at home; improved communication; clearer boundaries and authority; greater accountability; reduced risk and a more stable family dynamic.
Every family is different, and no outcome can be guaranteed. The work is individually shaped around the circumstances, relationships and challenges each family is facing.
Why Families Choose to Work With Me
When a family is dealing with a young male whose behaviour, relationships or direction have become increasingly difficult, choosing the right person to become involved is an important decision.
I have more than 26 years of experience working directly with young people, families and adults who are experiencing complex behavioural, relational and family difficulties.
My professional background spans youth work, family support, counselling, psychotherapy, mediation and behavioural intervention.
Over the course of my career, I have worked with families dealing with difficulties including school attendance, behaviour at home, conflict, communication, boundaries, parental authority and strained relationships.
In 2008, I established TeenCamps-UK, working directly with young people, predominantly young males, through structured programmes combining behavioural support, mentoring, therapeutic work and family involvement.
That breadth of experience informs my work today.
I do not approach the young male in isolation but consider the wider family dynamic, relationships, communication, expectations, boundaries and authority and how these may be contributing to the situation.
Private Interventions
I offer a small number of highly focused private interventions, depending on the circumstances of the young male and his family. Private behavioural intervention for families experiencing persistent conflict, loss of parental authority, defiance, school refusal, withdrawal or other entrenched behavioural difficulties involving a young male aged 15–25.

For PAs, Family Offices & Trusted Advisers
When a family requires discreet specialist support, the first approach may come from a PA, family-office professional or trusted adviser rather than the family themselves.
PAs, executive assistants, family-office professionals and other trusted advisers are sometimes the first people asked to identify discreet specialist support for a family member.
I work directly with a limited number of families and can liaise with the appropriate family representative during the initial enquiry process.
All enquiries are treated confidentially and each situation is personally reviewed before a consultation is offered.
A Deliberately Limited Practice
I work with a deliberately limited number of families who are prepared to make a significant investment in resolving complex family difficulties.
This is intensive, highly personal work and meaningful change requires commitment from the family as well as a willingness to invest in the process.
I therefore only consider families for whom this level of engagement is appropriate, realistic and genuinely valued.
