My story
Hello, I'm James, a really nice Counsellor, Therapist or Psychotherapist if you prefer.
My own healing journey began back in 2020 when I decided to undertake the most rigorous training in Mental Health that I could find. Fast forward 4 years and I'm still studying!
In fact, I will most likely never stop... you see, Counselling is a subject that is as abundant and fascinating as you are. As human beings, none of us are identical, and we all have a unique and beautiful story to tell... or to discover!
My path has shown me many different methodological approaches to healing and my passion for it all ensures that I am still exploring what there is to be known about life, love and all that good stuff!
My approach to Counselling is rooted in the Humanistic traditions - heart-led human values, with a leaning towards asking "why", and exploring a deeper understanding of ourselves...
In my eyes, it's an approach that heals empathically, nurturing mental wellness... and at times, it's just nice to feel into yourself more!
My mission
I've given this some serious thought! It really boils down to 2 basic principals...
Firstly, in an ideal world, I would love to see folks access regular Counselling as a "way of being", to quote the famous Carl Rogers; I find a healthy self-curiosity goes a long way to living a happier and more fulfilling life.
Personally, it's worked for me as I try to live with a fuller appreciation of how my actions impact on others. It's a way of life I've come to love and it sits at the heart of my daily experience. I would go so far as to say that this way of life enriches my lived experience in a way that nothing has ever been able to before.
Secondly, I'm "here" to help get you "there". I can't tell you where that is, that is for you to determine, but together, we can work towards finding that missing something... joining the dots.... discovering that hidden potential that changes EVERYTHING for you.
Human being to human being, I understand that YOU matter. My mission is to do my part to raise that vibration a little.
