I am the founder of Osprey and a leading specialist in Couples Dynamics. We are a unique and niche business specifically for life partners who work together in their own businesses. Osprey supports those in leadership positions, often called C-suite partnerships, who share both their daily work and home life together.
This is the culmination of my extensive experience from my corporate, entrepreneurial small business advisory, and acquisitions background. This is combined with a deep understanding of human behaviour, personality profiling, and relationship mentoring. I go more into my background and who I am on Page 7, together with the rest of my team.
Born in the UK, I have worked in 47 countries at the leadership level for large international businesses and SMEs to improve teams, systems, and processes. After 19 years in Australia, I returned to the UK in 2019 and have been actively working with SMEs and individuals ever since. I am told my empathetic nature and wide range of skills allows me to build trust quickly.
I have a warehouse of skills, tools and technique that I select from when working with clients. I am also an Amazon best-selling author of two books: Second Chances for a Love to Last – The Ultimate Guide to Marrying Again and You are a Genius (Co-writer).
Back Office Wizard

After 50 years in Australia, Stephen is now in the UK delivering property projects and supporting Gillian with running Osprey. He is a pilot and loves flying, hence our theme of the Flight Plan, something that Gillian and Stephen have had in place for many years now.

At Osprey – Couples Dynamics we embrace the C.A.R.E approach:
Customer Centric:
We are committed to putting our customers first and providing tailored solutions that meet their unique needs and objectives. No two customers are treated the same.
Awareness:
The power of awareness of people’s individuality, values and needs. How by understanding and strategically managing the different personalities, this is the secret sauce to success both in business and in personal life.
Respect:
Relationships to thrive are based on respect, especially respect for each others uniqueness. Respect, trust and authenticity are at the heart of our business.
Empathy:
We approach our work with empathy and non-judgement, every business and couple have their own story with its challenges and opportunities, and we are committed to providing solutions that address their specific needs and help them achieve a commitment for success.
We bring a wealth of experience garnered from years of working in the Corporate world and with small businesses. We combine this with our extensive knowledge of human behaviours, relationship & family mentoring and entrepreneurial training.
Confidentiality is paramount – it stands as our foremost commitment. Your shared information is held in the strictest confidence, and rest assured, we uphold an unwavering policy of non-disclosure to any external party. Additionally, our team is highly qualified, ensuring that the services we provide are delivered with the utmost expertise and proficiency.
We operate a no judgement policy. We are all where we are by the choices and decisions we have made. We are about moving forward, and whilst we may look backwards for lessons learned or trends the emphasis is to change direction for the future.
We really CARE.
