About Me.
I am passionate about entrepreneur mental wellbeing and performance.
Entrepreneurship is a mental game. To consistently deliver on strategy and execution, entrepreneurs need clarity under pressure, resilience, and the ability to challenge their own thinking.
As a former venture-backed founder turned psychologist (provisional), I have experienced the highs and lows of building something out of nothing. Entrepreneurs deal with a range of scenarios from scaling a company to making high stake decisions. Yet most are left to figure it out alone.
This is where I come in. I use my unique lived experience and perspective and offer proactive, founder-first mental support. I work with entrepreneurs and ecosystem enablers (including universities, accelerators, innovation hubs, and investment firms).
The best founders don’t just outwork the competition—they outthink them. My approach blends psychology, strategy, and real-world founder experience to help entrepreneurs:
• Navigate co-founder dynamics
• Make clearer decisions under pressure
• Build resilience through uncertainty
• Overcome internal blockers to performance
I want to help you lead and live better by asking sharper questions, challenging assumptions, and building the mental endurance required for long-term success.
If you’re a founder (or work with them) and believe that strong minds build strong ventures, let’s chat.
Then book a complimentary consultation.

Mental health is a key issue for founders as part of the entrepreneurial journey – including the high highs and low lows – over a time horizon that is often five to ten years or greater. Byron’s work in providing knowledge and tools for good mental hygiene is crucial. It not only protects founder wellbeing, but also supports them in achieving their personal and business objectives.

Melbourne Entrepreneurial Centre (MEC)
MEC focuses on setting founders up for success for a life long journey beyond their current endeavour or venture. We have incorporated Byron’s mental health and performance workshops into several of our programs, including our flagship Accelerator Program. His rapport and genuine care for our founders and participants is self-evident, with overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Byron stressed the importance of taking a proactive, long-term view on maintaining founder mental health. Often founders get stuck in the day-to-day and forget to realign themselves with their co-founders. The strategies Byron taught in his workshop were practical, insightful and most of all actionable.
