Brent is a coach and counsellor with first-hand experience in grief, trauma and loss, and has made it his mission to help other people experiencing similar challenges.

An American who first moved to Singapore over twenty years ago, he had high-pressure jobs in financial services and the corporate world, before moving to Bali.

In 2021, his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, and shortly thereafter, his mother was also diagnosed. After a two-year battle, his beloved wife Anoushka, and mother, Tracy, died within a few days of each other in late 2023.  In the same week, his stepdaughter he had raised since she was a baby was taken to Australia; since then, he has chosen to use his own real-world experience with trauma, grief and loss to help others that might be experiencing similar situations.

Brent has first-hand experience with grief, trauma, loss, depression, financial hardship, and child custody issues.  He has real-world experience with the challenges of supporting a spouse with cancer and a deep understanding of the emotional rollercoaster traumatic events bring.  His focus is on helping adults who need support through their own traumas, whether current or past.   Brent’s approach is using a mix of emotional support, empathy and mindfulness, as well as integrating tools to help his clients cope, learn, manage and thrive, no matter their circumstances.

Brent has certificates from Harvardx in Managing Happiness, KVLeuvenX in Existential Well-being Counseling and the University of Cape Town in Executive and Management Coaching.
