Testimonials

Sue Crawshaw

I don’t think any other coach could have got the results that James helped me get in such a short space of time. I'm clearer and more determined to look after myself and my goals. I realised that I am worth more and deserve more. That if I don’t like where I am then I can move - because I realised I have loads of qualities and skills that other companies would value.

Pip Hall

My time with James has been nothing less than transformational. His gentle, non-judgemental encouragement, questioning, and reassurance has helped me uncover, explore, and overcome things that have been constraining me for many years. His practical, emotional, and spiritual challenge and guidance has resulted in my being much more relaxed and confident in all areas of my life, ready to face new challenges and look forward with excitement.

Kateryna Stryhunivska

James, you were great support for me through this journey. The new perspective and energy that you have brought to our sessions were invaluable. I am more comfortable with myself, and have started to put myself in first place. Having been elected as a Marketing Director in a Non Executive capacity has been a huge step forward for me and absolutely aligned with my initial goal of building my professional brand

Helen Holder

Working with James gave me a safe space to face into challenges that i was struggling to share. The 1:1 sessions helped me work through areas of struggle, gain a different perspective and to take ownership and control of my career. I have felt less turbulent and it’s improved my relationships and experiences at home with my kids and husband because I'm less irritable, snappy and preoccupied. Professionally I feel so many doors have opened and with each one my confidence is growing.

Lilly Rosier

Through our work you encouraged me to surface the essence of my future ambitions, and still continuing to provide the tools and techniques to help me make gradual steps towards achieving them. This is something I was struggling to do on my own. Through this programme I have discovered new opportunities at work, and renewed enthusiasm about long term future. I've liked working with a group of like minded individuals. I can only see positive impact, and a more fulfilling life as a result. Thanks!

Paromita

I have been able to overcome the trauma of past bad work experiences which really took a toll on my health and especially mental health. I look at things more positively now and I can 'let go'. James listened to me and empathised with me without judging - which was extremely important as every time I have had these sessions I have only moaned - and that freed me from that.

Scott McHale

I'd been away from industry for quite some time and my initial foray into the job hunt was something of a soul-crushing experience. James' approach - dealing with the entire person rather than specifically the career or skills needs - was exactly what I needed at the time and I've ended up finding a great job which I was so doubtful about at the beginning.
