Gain clarity, build confidence, strengthen resilience
- Wellness and Performance Coaching
About Me
Hi, I’m Dean, Director of a private practice called Personal Edge Consultancy.
I have been a registered nurse for over 36 years, with extensive experience in paediatric nursing, nurse education, and nurse management. During this time, I have had the privilege of teaching more than 600 nursing students across two states in both diploma and bachelor programs.
I have worked across public and private healthcare settings, as well as within not-for-profit and for-profit organisations. This diverse experience has given me valuable insight into relationship management, organisational change, and accreditation processes.
My journey has always been about growth, both personally and professionally. Since 2006, I have been immersed in the world of personal development, learning from some of the most inspiring coaches, leaders, and mentors in the field.
Today, as a certified coach and facilitator, I have delivered over 14,000 hours of one-to-one coaching and designed and delivered customised training programs for more than 5,000 healthcare professionals across Australia. My workshops focus on leadership, emotional intelligence, communication, workplace culture, grief and loss, mental health, and stress management.
I now host Wellness Retreats, bringing together experts in the fields of wellness, human performance, positive psychology, and ancient philosophy. The Wellness Retreat Series provides people with the knowledge, tools, techniques, and practices to become the best and most well version of themselves.
Who I Work With
I work with people from all walks of life, including professionals, leaders, carers, and individuals seeking sustainable wellbeing and personal growth. My clients are often capable and committed people who want more than simply getting by. They want to feel well, grounded, and aligned while living and working at a high level.
My work supports two closely connected pathways:
Mental Health, Wellness and Emotional Wellbeing
Wellbeing is the foundation for everything else. If you are experiencing emotional overwhelm, stress, or the weight of past experiences, I provide a calm and supportive space where you can slow down, be heard, and begin to restore balance.
Together, we focus on strengthening emotional resilience, improving self-awareness, and developing practical tools that support long-term wellbeing.
I work with people experiencing:
- Depression and anxiety
- Grief and loss
- Chronic stress and burnout
- Trauma and emotional overwhelm
- Life transitions and identity challenges
This work is not just about coping. It is about healing, restoring nervous system balance, and reconnecting with a sense of inner steadiness and self-belief.
Performance, Leadership and Personal Growth
Sustainable performance begins with wellness. For those ready to grow, lead, and perform with greater ease and impact, I offer coaching that integrates personal wellness with high-level performance.
This work supports you to show up with clarity, confidence, and presence without sacrificing your health or values. Areas of focus include:
- Communicating with confidence, clarity, and influence
- Leading with authenticity and emotional intelligence
- Speaking with presence and impact
- Building healthy and meaningful relationships, professionally and personally
- Strengthening self-awareness and emotional regulation
- Aligning performance with purpose and wellbeing
The goal is not burnout-driven success, but grounded and sustainable excellence.
My Approach
My approach is human-centred, practical, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique experience. I bring together professional expertise, evidence-based counselling principles, and real-world coaching frameworks to create a space that is both supportive and purposeful.
Our work together is collaborative and compassionate, with a clear focus on meaningful and sustainable change. Whether you are seeking healing, greater clarity, renewed confidence, personal growth, or enhanced performance, I meet you where you are and work alongside you at your pace.
The aim is to help you build resilience, restore balance, and move forward with greater ease, confidence, and self-awareness so you can live, lead, and perform from a place of wellbeing rather than pressure, and discover your personal edge.
