Who is Benney the Coach?

Hey, I’m Benney, real name Geraint Rhys Benney, and I’m a Life, Spiritual and Relationship Coach, Talking Therapist, and author based in the South Wales Valleys.

My journey into this work didn’t come from textbooks or theories. It came from life. After facing some proper hard knocks and heartbreaks that left me feeling lost, disconnected, and done with it all, I slowly found my way back, with the help of good people, grit, and a bit of grace. That path back to myself led me here, helping others do the same.

I’ve been a certified coach since 2017, but I’ve been working with people in some way or another for most of my life, from being an entertainer travelling across Europe to working in social care, supporting homeless communities, volunteering on projects, sitting on school boards, even standing in elections. I’ve always believed in community. In connection. In real talk. And in showing up for others.

These days, alongside my one-to-one coaching, I also deliver motivational talks and run powerful workshops that help people wake up to who they really are. Whether it’s a room full of strangers or a live online audience, I show up to speak truth, spark change, and make people feel seen.

When it comes to spirituality, I keep it simple. I’m not here to preach or push religion. I talk about source, the infinite energy we’re all connected to. You don’t have to believe in a higher power to believe in your own. That’s the work I do: helping people reconnect with themselves, shift their beliefs, and remember their worth.

And here’s something I say often, we invest in gym memberships to strengthen our bodies. We pay for personal trainers to help us eat better, move better, live better. But what about the mind? What about the bit that keeps it all going? Your thoughts, your beliefs, your emotions, that’s your engine. It’s your essence. There’s no point polishing the outside if what’s running it all is running on empty.

Because the truth is, there’s nothing more powerful than deciding to invest in yourself, your healing, your growth, your future. That decision changes everything.

My approach? Straight-talking, no-fluff, rooted in compassion, and always about real progress. I’ll challenge you, support you, and walk with you through the mess and the magic.

We are infinite energy beings, we are infinite consciousness.

You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
