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

➤Choose the appropriate mediator to carry out quality work and help each other move forward/overcome certain mechanisms. An awareness necessary for change will then make it possible to be part of a new dynamic of life, to calm down and to use all its potential in the emotional/family/professional domains.

➤ Self-exploration in order to free oneself from emotion through speech and action / application, involves questioning oneself, analyzing, taking distance, and understanding the issues / points causing suffering or distress, before finally freeing oneself from them. This is intended to promote significant changes in cognitive, emotional or behavioral functioning.

➤This methodological approach, halfway between first practical behavioral coaching in an 'Anglo-Saxon' style and then psychoanalysis accompanied by a dedicated specialized psychoanalyst psycho-practitioner, is based precisely on precise questioning techniques, offering help in finding solutions, mastering new ways of envisaging/dealing with/perceiving difficulties, then implementing actions to be carried out. Combining the advantages of the two approaches and choosing the appropriate mediator to carry out quality work and help each other move forward/overcome certain mechanisms, will therefore induce the awareness necessary for this decided change, towards a new dynamic.

➤Objective? Understand the mechanisms of induced thought & emotion, linked to given everyday situations and which involve blockages. Then act concretely thanks to pragmatic techniques / methodological approaches from coaching, adapted to your situation to regain power over your life.

➤To lead this change & realize these aspirations, a cohort of concrete tools are at our disposal, but which involve deepening self-exploration. To question yourself, analyze, take some distance & understand the issues / problematic points, before finally freeing yourself from them through action.

➤Examples of themes/problems regularly dealt with & which are the subject of dedicated specialized support, adapted to your plan:
•Self-confidence, self-esteem/assertion, shyness, decision-making, personal development
•Management of emotions & suffering expressed in the form of anxieties, depressive disorders, embarrassments, addictions, relationship difficulties, phobia, stress, anger, anxiety, negative thoughts, panic, depression but also modification of behaviors harmful to good -being (post-traumatic stress, injuries, dependencies, addictions, etc.)
• Disorders of school/professional relations (tensions, (re)orientation, pressures & conflicts)
Program
and personal (family, romantic, friendly, emotional) & social (loneliness, communication difficulties generating pain/frustration)
• Problem of concentration, procrastination, organization, professional efficiency, time management
•Management of a past trauma of which you are the victim
(...)

➤At the start, it is always a question of knowing the triggers that led you to get support and knowing what you hope to accomplish with this follow-up.

➤With specific techniques that have proven themselves & adapted to your case and through a methodological approach and pragmatic tools, the purpose involves on the one hand an exploration of oneself through psychoanalytic tools and on the other hand concrete actions, as is the essence of coaching which bears fruit from the first sessions, by making you autonomous.

➤Influenced by cognitive & behavioral therapies, by Anglo-Saxon coaching instruments & the European methodology of applied psychoanalysis, the approach therefore aims to seek links between current difficulties and past experiences, including repressed and unresolved conflicts and to confront difficulties that may be partially related to inappropriate thoughts or behaviors learned/adopted often in spite of oneself.

➤And if cookie-cutter advice is precisely not offered, that you will never be judged or directed but heard and guided, in a process of permanent/interactive co-construction...it is precisely because it is important beforehand to analyze together, to become aware, to study jointly, to deepen, to decode your blockages & your initial problem to clarify your aspirations.

➤ So, how does a session take place? After an initial inventory, 'diagnostic'/exploratory contact during which your expectations are examined, your problem, your blockages, your needs and objectives identified, it is a question of analyzing them together then changing perspective/approach, considering 'the impasse' differently, think differently about the difficulties, gradually get out of your comfort zone thanks to a series of pragmatic suggestions/reflections/actions to be applied, according to a line of work defined together, anchored in a relationship of benevolent trust.

➤ So, to develop coherent solutions in a living, authentic and assertive life, inspired by our intuition and elements of positive psychology, this individual support helps to:
- create a clear picture of your desired future and your individual journey
- activate your unique resources and strengths
- transform inner insecurity into confidence in order to focus your inner power
- broaden your scope
- use your gifts to co-create the transition to a vital and vital way of life in harmony with nature.

Concretely, a SESSION = REFLECTION + SOLUTIONS, with a readjusted strategy if necessary.

In our imagination, nourished by our education and our conditioning, we all believed one day that once married, having founded our family, we will realize our dream.

Before taking the leap, we all idealize this life, and the stronger our hope, the stronger the awakening to the reality of life would probably be.

Indeed, family life is another experience, a challenge and a process during which we learn a lot about ourselves, about the other and about the relationship.

By choosing the right mediator, family and married life can therefore be a great opportunity to grow (sometimes in pain, in joy).

Among the possible accompaniments, some examples:
- The basics of a solid and fulfilled married or family life
- How to resolve disagreements
- The secrets of a balanced and balancing child education
- Learn to express emotions
- Manage families and in-laws
- How to take your place within the couple
- Define the respective roles of each

Among the techniques used:
- Non-violent communication tools

- The “helping relationship” which aims to support people in crisis or conflict situations and help them resolve dysfunctions (emotional, relational difficulties, repetition of scenarios, lack of self-confidence, etc.) . It also leads to better self-knowledge and guides the person to discover their own solutions.
The practitioner in helping relationship through his attentive and neutral listening, his training, his personality, his presence, his availability will allow the consultant to progress towards a better knowledge of his psychological mechanisms, respecting his blockages, his rhythm and his ability to hear.
The therapist takes into account the subject as a whole: physical, psychological and social.
Allow the consultant to access autonomy so that he can, when he feels ready, walk alone, in all inner serenity.

- Coaching that allows you to act and take responsibility, which is the basis of effective and lasting change. Work on the management of emotions and relationships, confidence and self-esteem, self-affirmation is at the center of individual support, which allows you to live more fulfilled and authentic relationships.

- Love coaching, which is personalized support based on understanding the mechanisms of love and focusing on putting an individual in this disposition of openness and acceptance of the other and their difference (which prepares to receive love) and to transfer keys of understanding to gain emotional maturity.
It allows you to obtain concrete and measurable results in your love life.
Through coaching, the consultant becomes aware of his resources, optimizes his potential and transforms his life.

- Brief marital and family therapy. She is interested in how the problems manifest themselves in the present but the personal history of each is also approached. This insight helps to better understand the events experienced and to make connections between the past and what is at stake in the current difficulties. We introduce changes in behavior to open up perspectives, mainly relational.

- Sophrology. Sophrology is a gentle method that promotes relaxation of the body and mind where you relearn how to listen to your feelings using controlled breathing exercises, muscle relaxation and mental suggestions. It allows you to develop your potential, regain self-confidence, manage your emotions and achieve your goals. It will be, at times, interesting to use this technique to manage to unblock the mind that is blocking and to give the body more amplitude to welcome what presents itself.

➤ 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 cutting-edge 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 manager is in charge of transmitting information and directives coming 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 2022).

➤ 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.

Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame.

The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation.

Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress.

I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.

If you’ve ever wondered why your cat acts a certain way, or how to help them feel happier, safer, and more balanced at home, this class is for you. I focus on practical, compassionate guidance tailored to your cat’s unique personality and needs. During our session, you’ll learn interesting things about feline behavior (based on your goals): how to improve daily care, understand feline body language, prevent or reduce unwanted behaviors, and create a more peaceful environment for both you and your cat. Whether you’re struggling with a specific issue or simply want to deepen your bond, I’ll help you see your feline friend in a whole new light.

Although this class is listed under “pet trainer,” my approach is a little different. I don’t train cats in the traditional sense, I help YOU understand THEM. Think of me as a feline behavior translator: someone who explains your cat’s body language, emotional needs, and home environment so you can take better care of them and prevent common behavior issues.

I also combine this with gentle life-coaching principles for the owner. When you’re busy, stressed, or unsure how to handle your cat’s needs, it affects both of you. My goal is to support you and your cat together. Helping you create a calmer, more organized routine while improving your cat’s comfort, confidence, and happiness at home. Whether you want behavior insight, better daily care practices, or guidance to feel more grounded as a cat guardian, I’m here to help both sides of the relationship thrive.

Attraverso il sistema RCS (Ricordati Chi Sei), aiuto individui determinati a compiere un atto di consapevolezza e autonomia: smantellare le gabbie cognitive e riconnettersi alla propria fonte creativa e vitale (l’Anima). Ho scelto di operare al di fuori dei circuiti social per garantire la massima profondità e integrità in ogni percorso che guido. Lavoro con chi è stanco della teoria e cerca sostanza. Le mie sessioni sono spazi di verità, senza compromessi. Metto a disposizione la mia esperienza e i miei strumenti per aiutarti a vedere ciò che la Matrix nasconde, affinché tu possa tornare a essere l'unico autore della tua vita.

Many of us mistakenly only seek to increase our happiness, but lack lasting satisfaction and peace. If you are feeling lost in life or unsure of what step to take to take, in this session, you will be truly seen and heard.

My sessions differ from traditional talk therapy because I weave in somatic techniques like breath, voice, and body awareness. This allows for true integration and processing through the body, which is especially helpful for working with trauma and for actually embodying the insights, not just understanding them in the mind.

True integration is oftentimes the most underrated part of the process in one’s journey into their subconscious. During this process, we work together to understand how your new discoveries can be incorporated into your everyday life. It is crucial that this step is conscientiously achieved, and in a place of non-judgment, where you feel safe and comfortable.

With time and patience, your life, and perception of the world and self, can transform.
