I'm self employed - a professional circumstance that all too frequently lacks a feedback loop. In my conversations with Jim we talk about job satisfaction, career planning and objectives: we set goals, hit and miss targets, and develop strategies for embracing uncertainty, ensuring continuity and seeking professional fulfilment. We also explore specific professional challenges and work through solutions, and on the side we allocate some time toward the development of a passion for personal projects that might some day supplant the day job. It's an enjoyable and rewarding journey, and I feel it

The skills and knowledge Jim has gained through years of experience in his field really show in his ability to quickly understand issues and clarify them for me. He explains concepts clearly and ensures I have full understanding of them. The solutions we form are both meaningful and practical to implement. Jim is a dynamic thinker who is passionate about helping people learn and grow. Sessions with him are always a positive and interesting experience - I walk out of appointments feeling inspired, empowered and confident about the best course of action to take. Jim is the best person I've come across

Jim is an accomplished professional and highly skilled in the field of counselling, but what is really impressive is the way he takes often complex ideas and breaks them down, piece by piece. The result was not only a set of solutions, but also a greater awareness of myself and the way people think and react to things in life. I have recommended Jim to several of my friends and family since our initial meeting - they have also benefited enormously from his knowledge and his approach. I would recommend Jim to anybody, whether they are dealing with a traumatic experience or are simply looking for

Jim is easy to talk to especially when it comes to sensitive areas such as relationship counselling. Easy to get to as well.
