Psychotherapy that reconnects mind and body

I am a psychotherapist with training in somatic therapy and mindfulness, supporting people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves to regain a deeper sense of calm, clarity and emotional balance.

Together we explore not only thoughts and feelings, but also how experience is held in the body and nervous system.

A Whole-Person Approach to Psychotherapy

Many forms of therapy focus primarily on thoughts and emotions.

However, our experiences are also held within the body.

Stress, anxiety and unresolved emotional experiences can live in the nervous system, often showing up as:

• chronic tension in the body
• persistent anxiety or stress
• overthinking and difficulty switching off
• emotional overwhelm
• difficulty feeling safe or relaxed

My approach integrates psychotherapy, somatic awareness and mindfulness, allowing us to work with the full human experience — mind, body and nervous system.

This often enables change to occur not only intellectually, but at a deeper embodied level.

About Me

Hello, I’m James.

My interest in psychotherapy grew from my own exploration of stress, emotional resilience and the relationship between mind and body.

Earlier in my career I worked in high-performance corporate environments, where I experienced first-hand how chronic pressure can become deeply embedded in the nervous system.

Through mindfulness, somatic work and psychotherapy I discovered the importance of reconnecting with the body and developing a more compassionate relationship with our internal experience.

This led me to train in:

Body-Oriented Coaching (Somatic School)
Mindfulness Meditation Teaching (Breathworks)
Transpersonal Psychotherapy (Centre for Counselling & Psychotherapy Education, London

My therapeutic work integrates these approaches within a psychotherapeutic framework, offering clients a space to explore both the psychological and embodied aspects of their experience.

Initial Consultation

Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step.

I offer a free 20-minute consultation, providing an opportunity to:

• briefly discuss what brings you to therapy
• ask any questions about the approach
• explore whether working together feels like a good fit

There is no pressure to continue — it is simply an opportunity to connect.

Testimonials

We care deeply about helping individuals unveil their inner peace and lead more fulfilling lives

Earlier in the year we invited James to the Year 13 Wellness Day to run a number of meditation classes for the students. James made the whole day. He was calm, encouraging, and accepting of all that was shared. He offered a variety of techniques to help students cope better with feelings of anxiety or overwhelm during the school day. Thanks, James!

I was a little apprehensive at first but I’m so glad I reached out. As a male it’s sometimes difficult to speak openly about vulnerabilities but James immediately put me at ease. James speaks from experience, is passionate about what he does and has provided me with some great coaching and several techniques to take away.

James & I met regularly online to discuss his personal mindfulness practice, his assignments for his training and his experience of going deeper into mindfulness practice as his training progressed. I found James to be a highly intelligent, articulate and engaging mentee. He already had a long standing meditation practice and was committed to developing his own practice, as well as learning how to teach mindfulness skillfully to others. He is a sincere, empathetic and sensitive person who I feel would be ideally suited to your course both on his personal journey and as a way to provide skillful healing to those who need it. He is an honest, authentic and quite deep person who I feel will be a great participant in your intake for this training.

Starting my wellbeing and mindfulness coaching with James i was a little nervous. But James instantly created a safe space and made me feel at ease. I felt relaxed enough to be open and talk freely. Having never meditated before, it is definitely one of my favourite parts about my coaching session with James. He guides you through each step and I instantly felt more calm and good about things after. Would highly recommend trying out his coaching sessions. Thank you, James
