Stuart & Paul.

Stuart didn’t set out to run a men’s group. He set out to do better coaching — the kind that meets men where they actually are, not where the wellness industry imagines they should be.

What he kept finding, in 1-to-1 sessions and in rooms full of professional men, was the same thing: men who looked fine on paper, doing the things they’d been told to do, and quietly running on empty. Successful. Functional. Unheard.

Fellas is the answer he’d been looking for — a structured, four-week space where men do the actual work of being heard, of saying the thing out loud, of testing a different way of carrying it. He keeps the group small — max ten men — because that’s the size at which honesty actually fits, and he follows up on WhatsApp because the work doesn’t stop when the chairs go back.

My name is Paul. I’m nearly 60 and have been in recovery for 15 years following a severe cocaine addiction. Recovery has included therapy, group work, and fellowships such as CA, AlA and SLAA, all of which have helped me better understand myself. I’ve been involved with Fellas for the past 8–9 months, and I find both the support and contributing to others really valuable. I’m a dad, a son, and a brother who cares deeply about family. I love sunshine, spend time in Spain, and value peace, growth and connection. Learning about myself and continuing to grow remain important parts of my life.
