Prior to founding, Innate Thought and before embarking on a successful career in sales, Paul spent eight years working as a professional musician. Paul toured North America and played in venues across the UK and Europe. During his time as a musician, Paul discovered a natural ability to connect with people and in the year 2000 relocated to London to pursue a full-time career in sales. Paul worked in various corporate sales positions, establishing himself as a top performing sales professional. In 2011, Paul became a shareholder in an entrepreneurial technology business, helping to grow annual revenues from £5m to £23m.

Paul has always had a fascination with psychology and philosophy and, during his time in sales, came across the work of Sydney Banks. Since 2011, Paul has continued to immerse himself in learning more about the principles underpinning Banks’ philosophy and, as a result, experienced profound changes in both his professional and personal life. In 2014, Paul recognised a growing appetite for others to discover psychological freedom and wellbeing and set up Innate Thought Ltd. Paul has  worked with many people from all walks of life, from CEO’s to prison inmates, helping them to tap into their abundance of inspiration, presence and creativity.

Using the same approach, Paul also works with the pioneering social enterprise, Beyond Recovery CIC, who are changing the way the criminal justice system treats and views mental health and addiction. Beyond Recovery has been undertaking academic research studies, measuring the efficacy of their approach and have recently had their impressive results published in an edition of Sage’s ‘International Journal of Offender Therapy & Comparative Criminology (IJO)’.

Over recent years, Paul has also discovered a talent and passion for painting and has become an accomplished portrait painter. Paul regularly takes commissions and, when he is not helping clients, spends his time in his studio painting.

Paul is married and has a daughter, who he will often cite as his greatest teacher!
