Jake is an accredited trainer, consultant & speaker on the use of force, and a registered expert witness, risk assessor and member of the Security Institute (MSyI) and the National Federation for Personal Safety (FPMemNFPS).
As a personal security professional and modern applied psychologist, Jake is capable of inspiring change within organisations.
Jake’s personal characteristics and working experience in public and private sector organisations, and educational institutions across the UK, mainland Europe and the United States mean he approaches every engagement with a cross-cultural, intergenerational clarity.
Jake has proven successful in a variety of different arenas and continues to make transitions throughout his life: from self-described “an unconfident overweight” child to professional rugby player, world champion martial artist, author, practical psychologist, master’s degree graduate, and security professional with experience in the provision of security for Heads of State, high net-worth individuals, music artists, and Olympic teams and committees internationally.
Jake knows that through his mentoring, training, and coaching, others can experience personal and organisational success and believes that “there is nothing more satisfying than achieving what others thought you couldn’t”.
Jake believes that Integrating modern psychology principles, personal security strategies, and valuable life experience into relevant practice is an essential part of accelerating overall mental and physical wellness and personal and professional growth and development.
By teaching and mentoring others, and through personal experience, Jake quickly realised that feeling and being safe and secure plays a large part in overcoming anxiety and stress, and maintaining a healthy work/home balance.
Jake holds an MSc in Security Management and is also a university graduate in Education, Law (CUBS), and Sports Management.
Jake has also studied the social and behavioural sciences for over twenty years including modern applied psychology, forensic psychology, and philosophy. In addition, he has studied other expressions of applied psychology including psychotherapy, NLP, CBT, life coaching, and PTSD identification.
