About Us

• Founder of MAKE Mental Health

• 20+ Years of boxing and muay thai experience

Gareth is the founder of MAKE mental health, a group dedicated to helping hundreds of people overcome challenges with the mental wellbeing through understanding, connection, and support.

With over two decades of experience in Muay Thai and Boxing, Gareth has spent much of his life in and around the sport, using it as a platform to build resilience, discipline, and confidence. He previously owned Russells Muay Thai and Amateur Boxing, where he supported people from all walks of life in developing both their physical and mental strength.

After facing his own struggles with mental health and addiction, Gareth made the difficult decision to step away from running the gym. Rather than letting that define him, he used the experience as motivation to learn, grow and give back. By taking courses in mental health and wellbeing, he turned a personal challenge into a powerful opportunity to help others.

Now, Gareth combines his lived experience with his sporting background to empower people who may feel lost or alone. He understands what its like to face those battles, and his mission is to ensure that no on else has to face them without support.
