You want the work to be built entirely around your life, your specific triggers, relationships and history You want the work to be built entirely around your life — your specific triggers, your specific relationships, your specific history.You want the work to be built entirely around your life — your specific triggers, your specific relationships, your specific history.

You want direct access to Barry, someone who can challenge you, support you, and hold you accountable in real time
You're ready to do the work seriously, and you want the most focussed, personal environment in which to do it.
HOW IT WORKS
Twelve weeks. Built around you from day one.
The 1-to-1 programme follows the same proven Five Shifts framework as the group programme, but every element is shaped around your specific situation. Before we begin, Barry takes the time to understand exactly where you are, what's costing you most, and what needs to shift first.
01
A deep-dive intake conversation
Before the programme begins, you and Barry spend time understanding your specific situation — your relationship patterns, your history, your triggers, and what you most want to change. This shapes everything that follows. No two programmes look the same.
02
Weekly 90-minute sessions
Every week, you meet with Barry for a full 90-minute coaching session. This is your time — to work through what's alive for you right now, to practise new skills, to examine what's still getting in the way, and to be challenged and supported in equal measure. Sessions are held online via Zoom.
03
Personalised practices between sessions
Each week you leave with specific practices, tailored to your situation, not a generic curriculum. Reflection prompts, real-world experiments, body awareness exercises, and NVC-based practices that connect directly to what you're working on. The work doesn't stop when the session ends.
04
Direct support throughout
Between sessions, you have direct access to Barry by message for questions, reflections, or moments when you need a steer. You're not left to figure it out alone in the spaces between.
05
Integration and forward planning
The final sessions consolidate everything, the shifts you've made, the patterns you've interrupted, the man you're choosing to become. You'll leave with a clear, personal practice to carry forward, and a genuine sense of what ongoing support, if any, makes sense for you.
The Framework
Five shifts Personalised to your journey.
The Five Shifts are the backbone of the programme. In the 1-to-1 context, each shift is explored in depth, at the pace you need, with direct attention to how it shows up in your specific relationships and patterns.
01
From Reaction to Pause
Learning to recognise your stress response, regulate your nervous system, and create space before reacting, instead of dealing with the consequences of your reaction.
"I have a choice in that moment."
02
From Blame to Responsibility
Moving away from defensiveness and towards ownership, awareness and emotional maturity. Owning your part, fully, honestly and without collapsing into shame or self-criticism. Understanding what is driving your perceptions, thinking and actions.
"I can own my part and still respect myself."

From Blame to Responsibility

"I can own my part and still respect myself."
03
From Control to Curiosity
Letting go of needing to win, fix or control, and learning how to listen and understand in a way that changes things.
"I wonder what's really going on here."
04
From Performance to Presence
Putting down the version of yourself you thought you had to be. Showing up without the mask and perfectionism and discovering how much more powerful that is.
"Being real is enough."
05
From Isolation to a Community of Practice
Doing this work alongside other men, being witnessed, holding each other accountable, and discovering that you were never as alone in this as you thought.
"I'm not the only one and that changes everything."

Meet Barry
Direct. Honest. On your side
My name is Barry Jones. I'm an internationally certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication, and I work with men who carrying patterns they didn't choose and struggle to show up the way they want to for the people they love.
I didn't come to this work as an outside observer. I've lived the conditioning I'm describing, the chin up, man up, be strong instruction that most of us absorbed without choosing it. I've experienced addiction and my own mental health challenges. I know what it costs to keep the mask on.
In the 1-to-1 programme, I bring everything I have, my training, my experience, and my genuine care for the man in front of me and to your specific situation. This is not generic coaching. It is close, honest, and built entirely around you.
