ABOUT

I do this work because I believe fathers deserve a space to grow, heal, and lead with love. What lights me up is seeing a dad reconnect with his child, his partner, and most importantly himself.

My journey into coaching began with my own experience as a father to two neurodivergent children, one whom is gender diverse also. I faced moments of doubt, overwhelm, and isolation. But through deep personal work and connection, I found clarity and strength. That turning point inspired me to help other dads walk a similar path with support, not shame.

I believe every father has the capacity to lead with compassion. My mission is to help you access that power, even in the face of uncertainty. I value honesty, empathy, and the courage to grow. Coaching isn’t about fixing you it’s about helping you show up as your best self.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in lived experience. I don’t offer cookie-cutter advice. Instead, I listen deeply, ask powerful questions, and walk alongside you as you navigate the complexities of parenting a neurodivergent or gender-diverse child.

Hi, I’m Mark Linney. I help fathers navigate the emotional, relational, and practical challenges of raising neurodivergent or gender-diverse children.

My coaching blends 14 years lived experience, deep empathy, and proven tools to help you reconnect with your values, your partner, and your kids.



I love working with fathers who are ready to do the inner work not just for their kids, but for themselves.

Many of my clients are also navigating challenges in their marriage, and I support couples in building stronger, more connected relationships.
