Peter Hughes - Lifestyle & Life Balance Coaching
for former and current
First Responder, Emergency Service and
Trauma Care Specialists
I’m a Lifestyle & Life Balance Coach, specialising in programs for former and current First Responders, Emergency Service and Trauma Care Specialists. I value making a positive difference and I have shown that through my actions both in life and at work. I have over 30 years' experience in the NSW Police, and I am an experienced Life Coach. I help those who are dedicated to helping others and, anyone who could use some support, direction and authentic guidance to get them from where they are now to where they want to be.
I know first-hand the responsibilities, challenges and experiences that come with serving the community and performing in a high-pressure role. I also have a deep understanding of the complexities of daily life and the difficulties in maintaining a work life balance. It can seem unwinnable, overwhelming and out of reach for most people during different periods of their life.
My life’s challenges have helped teach me how to find balance when change is continuous, how to make time for fun, enjoyment, and purpose by living within my values. I also understand that for me a fulfilling life needs a balance of purpose, passion and action.
Personal Growth is a core value in my life, and I have always jumped at the chance to gain more knowledge and skills. I hold qualifications in Youth Work, Welfare & Wellbeing, Mental Health First Aid, Diversity Liaison, and Leadership. As an experienced practicing Life Coach, I am accredited in Advanced Life Coach Mastery, conduct NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) coaching, and am certified in Conscious Hypnosis Therapy.
In my personal life I am passionate about mountain biking, camping, good music, travel, healthy food, 5 am mornings, (quietly getting into yoga) and great relationships, connections and community. I don’t always get it right, (just ask my wife!) & the balance shifts regularly, but I've learnt to deal with the negatives, appreciate different perspectives, be vulnerable, learn from mistakes, fail forward and appreciate the little things in life.
If you’re ready to explore what’s next for you (or maybe you have no idea), if you need some support to get you to where you need to be, I invite you to connect with me at Open Mind Collective. I will be that helping hand that you need to bring a new perspective into your life and help you find more happiness and fulfilment. Coaching isn’t therapy—it’s a partnership for creating real, lasting authentic change. Let’s have a chat and discuss how I can help you take that first step toward a better life.
What people are saying
"Loved everything so far"
"I’ve been working with Peter at Open Mind Collective, and it’s been such a positive shift for me. As a mum navigating perimenopause, finding time for myself isn’t always easy — but this work has been so worth it. The coaching and hypnosis have helped me feel more confident, build better habits, and actually start seeing real progress in my wellness, fitness and health journey. So grateful for the support and mindset boost."
SOPHIE G
"Day Retreat was Amazing!"
I loved the day retreat, it was so relaxed and had great energy. Peter and Veronica made their different styles work so well together. I was able to discover some fears that have been holding me back, I know what to do now, my mindset has changed. Thanks for the amazing day.

Lifestyle and Life Balance Coaching
I help anyone who wants to break free from overwhelm, stagnation, and uncertainty. I'll help you find the power to move forward with clarity and confidence.
