I've been having weekly sessions with James for nearly a year and really value our calls. He's supportive, professional and knowledgable and has helped me no end. I was in a negative space for a long while and am so glad I reached out to James when I did, he's given me the tools and the safe space I need to work on myself. I would recommend him to anyone suffering with anxiety self esteem and confidence issues.

James is really good. They have asked me some really hard questions that help me really get deeper into my psyche and to see what’s lying underneath it all. They’re professional, gentle, empathetic, and curious. It feels like they’re invested in me and I really like that about them.

James has been instrumental in helping me help myself.
