Glad you found me
Hi, I'm Joe
I’m an award-winning writer and best-selling author who helps men navigate the emotional, physical and relational realities of midlife with clarity and confidence.
Nobody warns you about midlife, but it can grab you by the balls.Work stress builds. Financial pressure mounts. Mood, motivation and mojo dip. Life at home can feel chaotic. Maybe your partner is going through menopause, you’re raising young or adolescent children, or you’re supporting ageing parents. Maybe all three at once. You’re trying to keep everything together for everyone else, while quietly questioning whether this is really the life you wanted.I’m here to help you take control of the midlife rollercoaster, understand what’s changing, protect your health and headspace, and keep moving forward with clarity, confidence and purpose.Here's how I can help:
Midlife Clarity: Supporting you through the physical and emotional changes of male midlife and answering the questions it raises about purpose, identity and direction.
Perimenopause Support: Helping you understand what your partner is going through and giving you the knowledge and confidence to support her, communicate better and feel happier together.
Modern Fatherhood: Supporting you to show up as the father you want to be and raise kind, confident, resilient children in a rapidly changing world.
Why You can trust me
Midlife mayhem? I wrote the book!
I wrote Burning Up, Frozen Out: What Every Man Needs to Know About the Menopause (But No-One Told You) to help men make sense of one of the most confusing and under-explained stages of life.It’s grounded in science, real relationships and hundreds of honest conversations with experts, couples and men who’ve been quietly struggling.That experience now shapes all of my work - combining evidence, empathy and real-world advice to support men through midlife with clarity, confidence and purpose.
"An invaluable manual... no married man should approach middle age without it" Giles Coren, broadcaster and Times columnist
”Men - ignore this book at your peril. It could save your sanity - and your relationship” Jon Lipsey, editor Men’s Fitness
”Essential reading for every man who cares about a woman - and themselves” Ian Marber, nutrition therapist and author
