Hi, I’m Dave Patten, Life-change coach

My passion for helping others has led me here. I am on a mission to transform lives.

I guide individuals seeking to effectively navigate significant changes in their lives—at work or at home.

My coaching sessions are held online, providing flexibility and convenience.

I am based in Tunbridge Wells in the UK but work with clients from around the globe, helping them achieve their personal and professional goals.

My journey into coaching

My entire working life has been about understanding people and helping them achieve their goals.

I hold a Ph.D. in psychology and enjoyed a 25-year career in marketing research as a senior global leader.

Throughout my career, I lived and worked in London and Chicago, guiding people in their careers and supporting countless clients and brands worldwide.

In 2023, I had a turning point. My drive to help brands grow and build market share had waned, and I realized my true passion was helping people create purpose and fulfilment in their lives. From that moment, I knew this had to be my focus.

I retrained as an accredited Life Coach and a Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner to expand my skills and develop a broader toolkit. Launching this coaching business is the culmination of my journey—a step that feels deeply meaningful and aligned with who I am.

Now, let me help you shape your future too.
