What previous clients have said
I initially began coaching with James to explore an alternate career path. However, what unfolded was far more valuable than I anticipated. Through our sessions, I was able to look deeper at underlying habits like procrastination and perfectionism—patterns that had been quietly influencing many areas of my life.
James provided a supportive and insightful space to do this work. He was always gentle in his approach, genuinely curious, and had a great sense of humour that made even the tougher conversations easier to navigate. His friendly and non-judgmental style helped me feel safe to open up and explore these challenges honestly.
I’m walking away from this coaching experience with much more clarity and self-awareness than I expected—and I’m truly grateful for it. I would not hesitate to recommend James as a coach to anyone looking for meaningful, transformative support.

Coaching with James has been incredibly valuable, helping me develop a more reflective mindset that has improved how I navigate both personal and professional challenges. His sessions gave me greater clarity and a more thoughtful, outcome-focused approach to problem-solving which has been really beneficial.

I have found James an excellent coach - I have worked with him on a number of key personal and professional areas which I wanted to develop further.
His approach helps the client to pose, frame and review the issue or challenge, and he gently guides you to a series of potential next steps or actions to address the challenge.
I would be happy to recommend James to others.

I cannot express enough gratitude for your guidance and support in helping me make a huge decision in my workplace.
Your ability to listen without judgement, I felt comfortable talking with you from our 1st session. You helped me build confidence in making that decision to change jobs, a decision I knew I needed deep down, but was avoiding for years. You helped me to believe in myself and gave me the tools to make that change.
I am now so excited about my new role and this next chapter which ultimately is affecting all aspects of my life. I have so much to look forward to at work and in my home life. I am really grateful for all your help.
