Giles is a psychology graduate and former NHS surgeon who moved away from clinical practice to explore various alternative life-paths, in an accidental quest to find the source of fulfilment and happiness, ultimately realising it was there all along.

These days he writes a lighthearted “Daily Reminder” email for a growing community of like-minded people, hosts a monthly ‘GP’ surgery with a difference, has a monthly wellbeing column in the Focus Magazine, and delivers restorative coaching sessions for individuals, both online and outdoors in the Brecon Beacons National Park, where he lives with his wife and daughter.

He has worked extensively with busy Health & Social Care staff, and his 6 week “Reconnect Programme” was found by the UK’s What Works Centre for Wellbeing, to be the most effective way to improve staff wellbeing and mental health, out of 200 different interventions across the UK.

He has appeared on more than 50 podcast episodes as a guest, and audio versions of his writing are featured on the Insight Timer app.

When not working, he's usually riding his bike, somewhere in the hills.
