I was a pro-bono client of Mike Williams when he was undertaking the coaching programme. Initially, I had my doubts as to whether someone in his very early 50's would be able to understand, let alone, coach a feisty Asian lady in her late 60s! Long story short, I had one of the best coaching sessions ever. Ever! Thank you Mike for taking the time and for making the effort to slowly peel away the crust and get to the core of what I was resisting. You're the real deal!

I witnessed a very moving presentation at Staff Days 2026. Detective Senior Sergeant Mike (kiwi) Williams presented on a topic to over 150 staff members. A topic I believe isn’t spoken about within the Police, especially with our “men” serving. 30 years’ service was shared with the reality of what our people deal with daily. Whilst leading multiple homicides and investigations, Kiwi would hold himself to the highest standard in front of his peers and portray a “Leader” who delivered these outcomes whilst his own personal struggle with mental health was present. I would dare to say, that there were many serving comrades in that room, that fought back the tears or remembered a moment during their service they found difficult based from what Kiwi presented. I found the presentation moving. I applaud Kiwi for his bravery to speak up in a world where the “Alpha” or “macho” man dominates, you are incredible to stand up and make a change in a world where people with mental health are treated differently, when in fact all we need is to support each other better.

Your presentation was quite simply, groundbreaking. Being able to share your story and it being so well received, was phenomenal. I have no doubt that what you said and how you delivered it, will have lit a spark in someone to reach out for help. Mission achieved.Your vulnerability and your passion for change is inspirational and I for one, are super proud of you, for both your personal courage and your willingness to share. Thank you.

“When my marriage ended, I didn’t need clichés or quick fixes. I needed steadiness. Separation is disorienting. It shakes your identity, your confidence, your routines, and your future. I was navigating grief, legal processes, business pressure, and the emotional fallout that comes with untangling a long life together.
What stood out about working with Mike was his calm. He didn’t overreact, didn’t dramatise, and didn’t minimise what I was going through. He created space for the hard conversations about anger, regret, fear, identity, and what comes next.His background means he understands pressure and consequence in a very real way. But as a coach, he brings something even more important: clarity without judgement. He helped me slow down my decisions, regain perspective, and rebuild my confidence step by step. He didn’t tell me what to do, he helped me think clearly enough to choose well. During one of the most destabilising seasons of my life, he was steady, practical, and deeply respectful.I came out of that chapter stronger, clearer about my values, and more grounded in who I am now. Not who I was before. If you are going through separation or divorce and need someone who can hold both the emotional weight and the practical realities, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
