Hello, I'm Dr Lewis Thomas.
I'm a certified life coach and GP.
I specialise in helping professionals break free from unfulfilling careers and rediscover their passion.
I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to leave a path you've trained for years to follow—I spent over a decade as a doctor in the NHS, feeling disillusioned.
After completing my training as a General Practitioner in 2019, I worked as a Locum GP in Manchester.
Now, I’m channeling both my medical experience and my skills as an accredited coach to help you build a career you can genuinely love, with confidence and clarity.

From Burntout Doctor to Fulfilled Life Coach
My transformation from GP to Life CoachÂ
Â
The Hidden Cost of a Calling
Living with sickle cell anaemia has defined much of my life, causing episodes of severe pain in my bones, muscles, and joints, triggered by stressful times.Â
It fuelled my drive to help others, leading me into medicine.Â
But the reality of practising as a doctor was far from what I’d envisioned.
The long hours, systemic failures, and personal sacrifices turned my dream into a constant struggle, often resulting in sickle cell crises.
When Passion Becomes Pain
The strain of working in the NHS, combined with my health challenges, often left me exhausted and questioning my purpose.
The more I gave, the emptier I felt.
Quiet quitting, financial fixes, even escapism—I tried everything, but nothing brought the relief I needed.
A Life-Changing Realisation
In a rare moment of peace on holiday, I had a breakthrough.
While reading Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, I realised I hadn’t experienced true satisfaction in my career in years.
I’d been waiting for joy to find me, but maybe I needed to create it myself.
Through deep reflection and supportive conversations with fellow GPs, I discovered my true calling was life coaching—a path that allows me to inspire and empower others every day.
Turning My Pain into Purpose
Driven by this clarity, I committed to coaching, investing in professional training and working with clients who felt similarly trapped in unfulfilling careers.
My journey taught me that personal development is the foundation of meaningful change.
Today, I help clients cultivate traits like self-awareness, proactivity, and resilience so they can create fulfilling careers, just as I have.
A New Path Awaits
I’ve gone from a disillusioned doctor to a fulfilled life coach, finding purpose in helping others unlock their potential.
Now, I invite you to take this journey with me. If you’re ready to create a life and career that genuinely excites you, let’s explore how coaching can transform your path.
