I have really enjoyed working with James. He asks insightful questions, does well to link sessions from different weeks together and lets me guide where the session will go.

I started to work with James for help with grief and bereavement during that time I suffered another more traumatic loss
Sessions with James were a life line for me. He gave me the space to express how I felt fully and then with very skilled timing and just a few well chosen observations was able to help me reconsider the situation and reframe with much more positivity
I am so grateful to him for his support

Had a few sessions with James so far. He's very understand and lets me talk as much as I need and helps me view things in a different way. Very kind and understanding.
