Phillipe Walker

Life Coach

From crippling debt and relentless workplace pressure to the devastating loss of two life partners, I have lived through financial collapse, professional burnout, and profound personal grief. I have also experienced homelessness and the quieter, equally devastating form of emotional homelessness that followed those losses — the disorienting sense of having nowhere inside to belong. Those years forced me to confront fear, shame, and isolation, and they taught me that vulnerability is not weakness but a doorway to healing.

Migration and belonging
I came to the UK from a country exhausted by years of internal strife and personal loss, carrying that history with me as I worked to create safety and stability in a new place. I have often felt like an outsider, with limited connection to those around me, and I have struggled at times to reach out. That lived experience sharpened my empathy and gave me a deep appreciation for the courage it takes to step beyond your comfort zone and ask for help.

Professional background
I bring decades of clinical nursing in HIV/AIDS and infectious diseases, university lecturing, and bereavement counselling—a blend of clinical rigour and human compassion. My practice is informed by evidence and shaped by real-world hardship, so I meet people where they are and respect that each story is unique. I understand the hidden burdens people carry: the unspoken anxieties, the loneliness that follows loss, and the bravery required to reach out for support.

Coaching approach
My coaching is person-centred and practical. I combine life-coaching techniques with NLP mindset-shifting tools and wholehearted empathy to create a safe, results-focused space for transformation. Together we work on reconnecting with others, reducing loneliness, converting exhaustion into renewed purpose, and turning loss into new possibility.

What I offer
I provide clear, actionable plans grounded in clinical knowledge and lived experience. I help people rebuild financial and emotional stability, restore meaningful connection, and create a sustainable roadmap for lasting change. If you’re ready to reclaim your life, I will walk beside you with honesty, strategy, and steady encouragement.
