What sets my coaching apart?
A Global Perspective: With professional experience in the UK, France, and the US, I deeply understand the nuances of cross-cultural transitions and the emotional complexities of starting over.
Tailored, Goal-Oriented Approach: My 3-part framework combines goal setting, overcoming barriers, and a transformative 4-step Change Process to guide you through real, lasting progress.
Grounded in Science: My methodology is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), proven approaches that help you build resilience and take practical steps toward change.

Client Reviews
-
"I was amazed at the change"
“ I was amazed at the change from my first session to my final session... I could not have asked for a better program or a more assertive practitioner. Not only were my issues overcome but the nature of the sessions taught me to overcome similar issues in the future on my own.”
-
"The collaborative approach”
“James guided me through the process of behaviour change. The collaborative approach we took allowed me to take a step back from the emotional and look logically and rationally at my problems.”
-
"I learned to appreciate & value my life”
“James helped me to view my thoughts and moods in a more positive way so that they no longer swamp me. He showed me how to appreciate and value my life and to be more compassionate towards myself and not be ruled by my negative worries.”
IN TWO Minds…
Does your mind whisper, “There’s no point trying,” or “You’ll never make friends here”? Maybe it weighs you down with guilt about those you’ve left behind. That’s your Rooted Mind. The part of your mind shaped by upbringing, culture, genetics and evolution.
But your Conscious Mind holds your wisdom, courage values, kindness, and logic. Learning to empower it helps you pause, gain perspective, and make compassionate choices that align with your values—guiding you toward the life you want.

Executive Coaching
Lead without burnout. Act with intention. Create Lasting Change.
You’re the one others turn to. The decision-maker. The leader. The problem-solver. But even high-achieving professionals hit a wall.
Maybe you’re feeling stretched thin, stuck in reactive patterns, or simply out of sync with the kind of leader or business owner you want to be. The drive is still there, but so is the pressure, the fatigue and the sense that something needs to change.
That’s where I come in.
EXPAT Coaching
Navigate change. Rebuild confidence. Thrive abroad.
You’ve taken the leap—moved countries, changed cultures, and stepped into a new chapter. But even bold transitions can feel disorienting.
Maybe you’re feeling disconnected or unsure how to find your footing in this unfamiliar landscape. The opportunity is still there, but so is the overwhelm, the homesickness, and the quiet question: Where do I fit in this new life?
I can help you gain the self-compassion and structure you need to thrive in your new surroundings.
