From Inner Chaos
to Inner Freedom

Adam Mayhew is a Transformational Coach, Meditation Teacher, Speaker, and Co-Founder of A-Game Consultancy. His mission is to help you get free from the mental constraints that are holding you back. Through awareness, stillness, and the inner tools you were born with.

Adam is also a Qualified Nutritional Therapist (CNHC).

He and his team at A-Game Consultancy have worked with more than 500 clients, including senior leaders, company founders, and professional athletes. The common thread across all of them is the same: high performance on the outside, and real struggle underneath. That is exactly what his work is built for.

He has delivered workshops and talks for respected organisations, coached executives through high-pressure periods, and helped athletes find the mental clarity that makes the difference.

But none of it came from a textbook. He got sober, rebuilt his life, trained as a meditation teacher, studied nutrition and stoic philosophy, completed ultra marathons, and became a father. Every part of what he teaches he has lived. If you want to know more about the journey behind the work, his full story is below.

My Story

I was 26 years old, sitting in a flat in Australia, thousands of miles from home, and I had no idea who I was.

I hadn't moved to Australia. I'd run away to it. Away from the debt, from the pressure, from the version of myself I'd been performing for everyone around me. I was drinking heavily. Taking drugs to numb whatever I didn't want to feel. Keeping busy enough that I didn't have to stop and actually look at what was going on underneath.

After a year, I came home.

Without the escape, everything caught up with me. The depression hit hard. And then came the moment I'd been dreading most. Sitting down with my parents and telling them the truth. That I was in significant debt. That behind everything I'd been presenting to the world, things were a mess.

That conversation broke me. In the best and worst way.

I didn't know who I was. I didn't know what I wanted. I thought about taking my own life. That period, the shame, the confusion, the sheer weight of not knowing how to be, was the darkest of my life.

But I didn't. I got to work.

It took me 3.5 years to pay back every penny. I'm proud of that. But here's what I didn't do in those years. I didn't actually change. I was still chasing validation. Still people pleasing. Still drinking, still using, still holding onto an identity I thought other people expected of me. The debt was clearing. The noise inside wasn't.

Then I met my wife.

We moved to Dubai in 2016. It felt like the answer. Fresh start, new chapter. The debt was gone, the money was good, the lifestyle was everything I thought I'd been working towards.

I was still unhappy.

That was the hardest one to sit with. Because this time I couldn't point at circumstances. The circumstances were good. Really good. So why did the emptiness follow me there too? Why did I still feel like something was off, no matter what I added to my life?

I genuinely couldn't figure it out.

And then something became clear. Not in a lightning bolt moment, just a slow, uncomfortable truth that I couldn't keep ignoring.

Nobody was coming to save me.

Every time I'd chased something external, I'd been waiting for it to fix something internal. A new city, a clean slate, more money, a better lifestyle. None of it worked because none of it was ever the real problem. The only thing that was going to change my life was me deciding to take responsibility for it. Not when I had a perfect plan. Not when everything felt right. Just me, showing up, taking imperfect action, and being honest about where I actually was.

That decision changed the direction of everything.

I started meditating. I stopped drinking. Not with a big announcement or a dramatic turning point. I just stopped numbing and started paying attention to what was actually there when things got quiet.

What I found surprised me.

Peace. Clarity. A version of myself I barely recognised, because it was so different from the one I'd been performing for years. I trained as a meditation teacher. Studied nutrition. Went deep into stoic philosophy, performance, and the psychology of identity. I ran 80 kilometres through the mountains to prove to myself I could do hard things. I became a father, which added something no achievement ever had. Real purpose. Legacy. Love with nowhere to hide.

And slowly it all made sense.

The drinking, the debt, the running away, the Dubai dream. None of it was the problem. It was all the symptom. The real work was always internal. It was always about stopping the performance and starting to live as who I actually am.

What I found, after years of looking in the wrong places, was that the person I was searching for was there all along.

This work is not something I do. It is something I live. Every day I commit to my own growth, my own peace, my own alignment, because I know what it feels like when I don't. That commitment to myself is what makes me useful to you.

Your journey is your own. But you don't have to walk it alone. I'm here, and I'm honoured to be part of it.
