James:

Psychotherapy & Coaching

James enjoyed a successful career in Human Resources for over 15 years, coaching and developing senior managers and staff in organisations as varied as high end fashion houses to the leading London transport company.  He possess a wealth of experience in helping individuals develop new skills, behaviour patterns and recover their mental health.

After a serious viral infection James developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  A debilitating condition which left him bedridden for much of the three years he was unwell.  He was unable to work, exercise or partake in life for a significant amount of time.  All meaning and motivation faded away.

Fortunately he was able to recover restoring energy and vitality to his life; both psychotheraoy and coaching were integral to this healing journey.  Once healed he embarked on training in Life Coaching and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) adding these skills to his repertoire. Committed to ongoing continuous personal development he completed a Masters in Integrative Counselling (psychotherapy) and Coaching and is now studying a Diploma in Trauma Therapy at the prestigious NAOS Institute in London. These modalities are at the forefront of personal development and healing practices.

He is an avid exercise fan and frequently visits the gym understanding the importance of physical activity and its impact on wellbeing.

James now provides psychotherapy and coaching internationally, working with clients in varied locations such as the Middle East, Europe, Asia and the USA. His work with clients includes assisting those who suffer from mental ill health and chronic conditions to reconnect with health and develop lives full of purpose and meaning. Additionally, he works with those that are in high control cultural and religious environments to develop their assertiveness capability; increasing their ability to live freely and establish healthy boundaries in relationships.
