Dr. Su Lee is a certified life coach and PhD-holder based in Birmingham, UK, specializing in men who are succeeding on paper but feeling something vital is missing. With a doctorate in microbiology and ICF-accredited coaching credentials, she brings scientific rigor alongside deep intuition—helping clients cut through mental noise and get honest about what they actually want.
Her signature IDEAL Man framework moves clients through five stages: spotting blind spots, defining values, embodying confidence, building authentic connection, and leading with purpose. She's known for being direct without being harsh—a no-judgment space where men can drop the mask and do genuine inner work.
Beyond 1:1 coaching, Su works with corporate teams on emotional intelligence and leadership, and offers holistic wellness through YorkTest® health diagnostics. She's also a board member of the Men's Prosperity Club and an associate coach at The Lighthouse Charity, where she supports construction workers navigating mental health crises.
