A Very British Cult
The sinister life coaching company that takes over your life. Catrin Nye investigates. In early 2019 Jeffrey Leigh-Jones from Portsmouth got a life coach. Someone to mentor him in life and help him realise his business ambitions. Two years later, Jeff had sold his house, his relationship was in pieces, and he had handed over tens of thousands of pounds. And he wasn't the only one. In this eighteen-month investigation for the BBC, journalist Catrin Nye and her team expose control, intimidation and fear at a mysterious life coaching company taking over people's lives and ripping families apart. As the investigation hots up, the group fights back, and there's a surreal final showdown.

The last episode was gold

I love cult related investigations. This one was less morbid than many which was welcomed. I feel for victims and families. The last episode was pure gold. I commend the journalist who was 7 months pregnant. Confronting Paul Waugh was courageous as he spews his absolute nonsense and quite literally sounds like a maniac. Bravo!
No real consequences for this abuse

Brava to the team for this diligently and compassionately researched series. It’s so sad to me that there are no real consequences for this “leader”’s criminality or that of his enablers, how ever groomed they have been. Very sad for the families whose loved ones are still stuck and may not return.
A very coach-y cult

Definitely binge-worthy! Appreciated learning some new info about the topic. Like so many (if not most) life coach scammers it involves an almost hard to believe history. Still trying to figure out what makes it so “very British” though, because as the producer says, this could (if it hasn’t already) happen in your neighborhood! Would love an update. Love to all who are healing from cult experiences
So what’s new?

I’m sure this story is not over. I’d love to hear more.
