ABOUT US

NICE TO MEET YOU

Welcome to Renewed Life, a relationship focused coaching and counselling practice founded by Toby and Sussan. Our work is centred on helping individuals and couples strengthen connection, heal past experiences, and build healthier, more secure relationships.

Toby and Sussan bring over a decade of combined experience in counselling and coaching, with a shared commitment to understanding how emotional patterns, life experiences, and the nervous system shape the way people show up in relationships. Their approach is grounded, practical, and compassionate, combining structured therapeutic frameworks with trauma informed care.

At Renewed Life, we believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported. Every session is personalised, intentional, and focused on real world application, helping clients move beyond insight into lasting relational change.

Toby and Sussan as well as studying counselling and social science have had the privilege of being mentored by world-renowned coaches such as Joel Brown, Kate Gray, and Jeffrey Slater—esteemed professionals who have shared stages with luminaries like Tony Robbins, Sir Richard Branson, Dr Joe Dimartini, Tim Ferriss and Frank Kern.

The insights and techniques learned from these coaching legends have greatly influenced their unique approach, blending proven strategies with heartfelt empathy to deliver transformative results.

At Renewed Life, we specialise in helping individuals and couples build emotional capacity, resilience, and healthier relational patterns. Our approach is tailored to the unique dynamics of each person and relationship, creating space for meaningful growth, deeper understanding, and lasting change.

We are committed to providing a supportive, respectful environment where clients feel heard, valued, and emotionally safe. Through personalised sessions and practical frameworks, we help clients move from awareness into action, equipping them with the tools to make sustainable changes within their relationships and daily lives.
