About James

I am 64 and a white, London-Irish male. I have been married for 30 years to Catherine (also a psychotherapist) and we have two grown-up children, a son and a daughter.

 

I have had many jobs, mostly to do with education, politics and coaching. I still work part time as a tutor, mostly primary aged children. I have always worked in a way that celebrates each person and respects their culture, beliefs and values. Perhaps this is why many people from non-UK backgrounds seem to have sought me out. I am also familiar with the different ways being neurodiverse shapes life. I fully embrace working in a way that embraces difference and diversity as difference is what makes life and people interesting.

 

Perhaps because of my Hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) background I have worked with many people with sleep, eating and health problems, including ‘functional disorders’ and Long Covid. 

Counselling can be a positive, even enjoyable experience but also do expect to lean into some uncomfortable stuff along the way.
