I gained so much from the training sessions despite, as a doctor, assuming I knew a lot about positive mental health and wellbeing. James is a great communicator, is very personable and has a clear way of explaining ideas and concepts. We learnt loads of practical tips and skills that I’ve now put into practice in my everyday life at home and work. I’d highly recommend the transformational training that he offers!

When I was suffering with depression and anxiety, James talked me through the science behind the mind and body’s response to stress in a very helpful and easy-to-understand way. He also gave me great advice on things like sleep and exercise, which helped me on my road to recovery. In addition, James taught me some breathing techniques which provided relief when my anxiety peaked. I’m very grateful to James for the help he gave me at a challenging time in my life.

Working with James is more like spending time with an inspirational friend than it is using a wellbeing trainer. The work is very much a collaboration and an equal partnership in unlocking stuck or hidden potential. He creates a relaxed environment for honesty and openness to flow, and expertly engages all of the senses in the process. I’ve made a journey from one of the hardest times in my life, to perhaps the happiness I’ve ever been, and I attribute a huge amount of that to the help, support and guidance that James has given me. I could not recommend his services highly enough!
— Jamie (Events Manager & Tour Director)
James’s guidance and support has been invaluable. He has helped me to better understand myself and my body and has given me the tools I needed to help me to regulate my nervous system.
— Hannah (Mum & Creative)
I did not know what to expect at the outset, but found the sessions with James to be enlightening, interesting and fun! James communicates in a relaxed but clear way – he really gets to the heart of the matter. The sessions gave me a framework I can apply in my day-to-day life, helping me better deal with the pressures of running a business and having a young family. I’m now using the breathing exercises all the time and in various different scenarios – they help me cope with stressful situations and also enable me to fall asleep more quickly. I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions and can’t recommend James enough.
— Tim R (Director)
James’s genuine support and suggested strategies definitely helped me. As a novice to the world of therapy, I was pleasantly surprised how much he helped at a very stressful time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking guidance, or to those like myself who weren’t even aware they might benefit by talking through their concerns.
— Graham D (Director)
There were a brilliant range of strategies to help the children with their own wellbeing. James introduced the concepts clearly and created a fun and safe space for everyone to share their own experiences and give everything a go without feeling embarrassed. I have seen pupils around the school using the breathing techniques that were introduced so they obviously worked well for them.
