The process of questioning your sexuality is a profoundly personal experience that many have found themselves trying to navigate. Unfortunately society treats you differently, others don't understand or accept your choice to live as you wish and there may be places that you don't feel as safe or comfortable in. 

Many of the LGBTQ+ community have experienced this; exposing feelings that can leave you worried or isolated by the need to understand your own identity. With this, comes the development of emotional resilience, which is a quality needed in many areas of our life, like our careers.

Will’s personal journey began when studying sport and exercise performance at Portsmouth University and then moved his career into professional coaching as a therapist supporting transformative change; navigated corporate management, taught personal training qualifications, contributed to books, and delivered education. 

Following his mother’s battle with early-onset Alzheimers and her passing in 2016, Wills coping mechanism was overcommitting to work as a personal trainer and coach which lead into a Binge eating disorder.

By 2017, Will faced burnout and an addiction to the partying lifestyle after a relationship ended badly. Despite a thriving coaching business, he needed help. Therapy became a pivotal experience, leading me to become a certified therapist and achieve coaching accreditation.
