Vernon is married with four children and eight grandchildren and lives in Berkshire.
When I met Vernon, I was in a very dark place. My professional life was in crisis, my romantic relationship had broken down, I suffered from several mental health issues and I had no idea what to do next. After several coaching sessions with Vernon, which included teachings from The Way Course, things began to change. I understood better what had happened and why and how to take responsibility for my future. I practised new behaviours and, feeling progressively more positive, I took decisions that have changed my life and happiness. I feel I have the tools to deal with challenges that occur and which I now view as opportunities for growth rather than causes for fear and anxiety. I am in a totally different place now.
