About Me

I take a relational and human approach to the work I do with students. This means engaging with questions and sharing my own personal experiences which includes my own lessons and mistakes! Since 2012 I have worked with a diverse range of clients to face and overcome a wide range of personal and professional challenges through 1-to-1 and group sessions. This has been possible through being mentored at an executive level for the last 14 years. I am Christian and my faith is increasingly important to me and the work I do to serve others.

To give you a flavour of what it's like to work with me, here are a few testimonies from those I've worked with over the years...

"I have been working with James for about a year now and in that year I have grown considerably. Many people in my life have noticed a change in myself and can see how much these sessions help me. It is safe to say I haven’t had the smoothest of rides so far in life and some things I have been able to discuss with James are things that I had never even dreamed of discussing." - Bethan Neaves

"I met James fresh out of university feeling very lost, anxious, and overwhelmed about how to face my next steps pursuing a career in research. Now, at the end of our journey, I can happily say I begin my new job in Clinical Research next week!" - Janice Asare

"There's other people like me that need the help of someone like James, to get the help, understanding, commitment and professionalism that he has shown me." - Louisa Mackenzie

Hello, I am a certified Life Coach from the American Transformation Academy. Since I discovered this job which has completely changed my life, I never stop giving the best of myself to motivate others to find their reasons for being and to support them in order to develop their development and their well-being.

Life coaching is aimed at individuals in a situation of change, questions, doubts, difficulties, conflicts or who wish to improve their lives, better manage their emotions, prepare for a new situation, express themselves more in accordance with themselves, with their values and give a new meaning to their life.

See you soon!

Stress is, in biology, the set of reactions of an organism subjected to pressures or constraints of the environment. Anxiety is a mental and physical malaise, born from the feeling of the imminence of a danger, characterized by a diffuse fear which can go as far as panic. While anxiety is a one-time emotion & often occurs as a fit, whereas anxiety can be more chronic in nature.

All three are not necessarily signs of weakness and without being a choice, they affect many people to varying intensities. Not ignoring your pain and being accompanied to find coping strategies is vital.

These workshops offer you to learn to listen, tame, manage and control your emotions, stress, anxiety and anxiety.

The objectives are clear, with always practical applications:
- Discover your own emotional process to understand the role and impact of emotions
- Analyze its operations and implement (concrete) strategies & clear techniques to channel them
- Develop your emotional awareness to strengthen your balance / harmony / self-confidence as well as the best discovery & control of your own resources / skills / potential as well as new tools
- Overcome your fears and blockages to be able to move forward and calmly
- Reduce the psychological / psycho-somatic manifestations of his emotions
- Optimize the emotional process thanks to the concept of emotional intelligence
- Make your sensitivity & possible hypersensitivity a strength

Indeed, the sensitive & hypersensitive represent a small part of the population and are able to perceive what others do not feel, which is hidden but try to conform to what is expected of them and of them. '' be able to live in community. After appropriate support, a hypersensitive can learn to tame their innate abilities

What happens during a session ?

After having defined together one or more global objectives based on your initial problem, each session takes place in two stages.

1) Browse, analyze & dissect together the reflections, thoughts and notes taken during the week and related to your emotions: actions taken based on the suggestions of the previous week; thoughts; feelings: what worked or not / corresponded or not to your expectations. It is also an opportunity to get to know you better in order to better define / define / identify and then solve together the challenges / emotional blockages of the moment.

2) Based on the conclusions of the first part, a proposal of two to three sub-issues of the day to be dealt with during the session (sub-issues built from your initial issue): to answer them, for each of them 'between them, a series of ten to fifteen pragmatic reflections / actions will be proposed to you. Three possible answers:
- "I have already tried this solution but it does not suit me" or "I do not really believe it": we go to the next suggestion
- “Never tried” or “why not”, “I'll think about it”: we set ourselves the goal of trying as soon as the opportunity arises, by the next session

Concretely, a session = a reflection but above all A SESSION = SOLUTIONS / proposals / concrete suggestions to put into practice for the following session in order to overcome its blockages.

According to the defined objective, it is a question of identifying & resolving the impact of emotions and their bad channeling not only on his communication but especially on his daily life.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating.

➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and advanced know-how.

➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This executive is in charge of transmitting information and directives from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively.

➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission.

➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring.

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *. (* study 2020).

➤ THE TRAINER:
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication , in reputable international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on two axes: training and coaching, with pedagogy and careful methodology as key words.

You often know what you want — but you don't do it.
You keep doubting.
You adapt.
You think, but don't take action.
And somewhere you feel: this is not me (anymore).

I work with people who feel there is more in them,
but who are still holding themselves back from really going for it.
Not because they don't understand it.
But because it gets exciting as soon as it really counts.

In my coaching, we won't analyze endlessly.
We take an honest look at what is going on.
Where you block yourself.
And what is needed to actually move.

Direct, clear, and without beating around the bush —
but always tailored to you.

What you can expect:
more clarity on what you really want
stop getting stuck in doubt
speak your mind, even when it's scary
making choices that are right — and acting on them

For you as:
You feel like you have lost yourself somewhere.
You know there is more inside you, but it isn't coming out.
you are ready to take responsibility for your life

I am Ben, a coach and therapist.
I have walked that path myself:
of adapting and doubting,
towards making choices that really feel right.
Today I guide people who want to take that same step —
Not perfect, but real.

This is a course of 6 lessons, the start of Dare to Stand!

Do you want to stop feeling like a tourist and start experiencing Italy like a true local?
Italian is not just grammar; it’s an art form, a flavor, a way of gesturing, and a way of
smiling.
In my classes, we won’t just stick to textbooks. We’ll learn how to order in a top-tier
restaurant, discuss art over a virtual espresso, and understand the nuances of our
millennial culture. Whether you are fascinated by the Opera, Milanese design, or
Sicilian culinary traditions, I will customize your journey to help you speak with
confidence from day one.
My method combines linguistic precision with total cultural immersion: you will learn
the "language of beauty" while having fun.

that voice in your head that says you're too much, not enough, or that things will never really change. the one that replays the same worries at 2am and keeps you stuck even when you know what you want.

most people spend years following that voice. trying to mute it and ignore it.

what if you didn't have to?

in these sessions, we work with your mind instead of against it.

you'll learn how to observe what's happening when that voice takes over... and what to do instead of just reacting to it.

this is practical, grounded mindset coaching that gives you real tools for the moments when your brain is not on your side.

we look at where certain thoughts and patterns come from.
we work with the different parts of you that want different things.
and we start to build the kind of inner clarity that makes decision-making, relationships, and daily life feel less like a constant battle.

what you can expect:
- to understand why your mind does what it does (without blaming yourself for it)
- to recognise the difference between a real signal and an old pattern running on repeat
- to feel more in control. not by forcing yourself, but by understanding yourself
- to start choosing, consciously, how you want to respond to life instead of just reacting

this work is for you if you're tired of overthinking, self-doubt, or feeling like you keep getting in your own way.

the only thing needed is just a genuine desire to understand yourself better and change what's no longer working.

sessions are conducted in English.

Recovery from trauma requires patience, understanding, and a safe space to explore and heal.
As a trauma coach, I offer compassionate support to help you navigate the complex emotions and challenges associated with trauma. Together, we work on restoring your sense of safety and strengthening your resilience.
Throughout our lives, we are confronted with farewells. There are many forms of farewells. The path of processing all these forms of loss has its own challenges.
Your story is central to my approach. I support you in regaining your own strength.

You would like to learn a language from scratch, brush up on your skills, or take it to the next level? You need to prepare for a language exam? You black out during written and/or oral exams? You're not sure about what to do next in life? Do you feel overwhelmed? Life feels empty? You don't know your strengths?

Then you have come to the right place! I'm a certified teacher, and have worked for many years at different schools with hundreds of students. There are many ways to teach a lesson. I'm a lover of a varied approach whenever applicable. I can honestly say that I will always do my very best to find suitable methods in order to facilitate comprehension and learning.

Over the course of a lesson, I might use audio files, videos, transcripts, books, worksheets or custom-tailored exercises that I feel are best suited for that particular student. Likewise, I will also train conversation - practical or otherwise.

I highly value being kind, patient, modest and encouraging. I always strive to create an environment that fosters a positive feeling. An inviting atmosphere is essential for learning anything at all. I welcome mistakes students make because it's normal to do so, plus that is one of the best ways to learn something properly.

Students are different, and all have their own individual needs and expectations. I see myself as someone who is guiding them along their chosen path. Occasionally prompting them to discover (the beauty of) a concept here and there they might have overlooked otherwise. Helping them to develop long-term strategies that will make them feel accomplished and self-assured.

I have helped many students when it comes to navigating through life. Whether they have a troubled past or current problems. My goal is not to replace professional counseling. However, I have come across certain patterns and behaviors throughout the years. I have been told many times that my approach of dealing with students has motivated them to overcome challenges, and to improve their situation. I'd be delighted to do the same for you!
