Working with James helped to build self-confidence that I could make changes the changes I wanted to my lifestyle. Every session gave me a chance to focus on what was important to me and my progress and I always left feeling empowered, confident and grounded in my ability to achieve my goals whilst celebrating what I had already achieved.

James is encouraging and motivating, whilst making sure you remain in control of your journey. He asks all the right questions - the challenging ones to make you think deeply - but in a sensitive and considered way. I’m very grateful for James and his commitment to guiding me to achieve my dreams.

James's coaching has been life transforming for me. It brought out the best in me, restored my confidence and improved my productivity. Being introduced to positive psychology has been healing and life changing for the better.
I gained the ability to self-organise, self-manage, prioritise, (particularly in my work life) and become more compassionate towards myself. The proactive and motivational coaching helped me realize that my ADHD and mental health issues can serve as incentives and assets rather than barriers. I also learned the importance of having a solid routine and structure.

James's caring, attentive, focused, and listening way of being in the moment has enabled me to have fun, laugh, relax, and experience novel sides within me at the same time as discovering sensitive and vulnerable parts of myself. As a human and as a coach he has provided me space to uncover new potentials within me and break through unhelpful patterns.

I really enjoyed my coaching journey with James. He was very professional and asked interesting questions allowing me to unlock my vision of what I really want. James helped me to focus on solutions so I could get closer to my goals with each session. He is also a very nice person with a warm and compassionate approach. Highly recommend him as a coach!

Fabio

I have faced significant challenges in both my personal and professional life this year and feel that I have handled these far more effectively thanks to your coaching. Being able to identify what is really important to me has helped me to prioritise tasks, reduce procrastination and simply get things done.

The effectiveness of your coaching lies in your ability to ask exactly the right questions. I always left our sessions feeling like I had learned more about myself because your questions made me think about things differently and challenged my beliefs about myself.

James’ coaching has left me with genuine life changing skills. He has helped guide me towards being a stronger individual who can put up good healthy boundaries. The skills and lessons I have learned have been beyond beneficial and have helped me in all areas of my life. This in turn has helped me become more confident in myself and my abilities so I cannot thank him enough for that.

He encouraged independence and that is what really worked so well for me. The coaching also encouraged a forward focus, acknowledging what has happened, not disregarding it as I had done previously, but then instead of just focusing on the past and the negative, we would then look at where to go from there, how to grow from the situation.  James’s coaching acknowledges the past and negative issues and allows for a deep dive into these; however, it also encourages forward movement, healing and learning.

I found James an excellent listener and gentle in his way of guidance. He also has a warm, caring approach that let me explore my feelings and set a goal accordingly and negotiated time frames which kept me accountable.

Bonnie

I went through a lot of trauma growing up (even if I didn't realise at the time). As I began to understand more about myself and my daily struggles, I realised how much pressure I had been putting on myself whilst needing to manage my conditions. Although I kept striving towards a good life's balance, I could not get my thoughts in order to do so appropriately on my own.

In my sessions with James, he helped me focus my thoughts, compassionately quell my doubts when I am thinking too much and discuss methods/perspectives that have allowed me to improve my daily living. He has supported me at a steady pace. I am now more compassionate towards myself, and I feel much more in control of my life.

James is very compassionate and is easy to talk to. He has an open-minded approach; doesn't judge others; and expresses an enthusiasm and a desire to help. Over the past 2 years, he has worked closely with me to brainstorm and discuss many methods that have helped me better manage different aspects of my life.

The dedication that James has put into his research is evident and he is continually learning about new methods/perspectives in order to support his clients. This has allowed me to put my thoughts and motivations into perspective. Because of this, I am much more aware of how I can support myself, now and into the future.
