Rediscover a path back to you

I’m James – a personal development coach. I partner with people who want to reconnect with what matters to them, find a path through life that’s as unique as they are and be free from the expectation to be anything other than themselves. I draw on over 15 years of experience to help you embrace your unique strengths and build a path towards self-acceptance, greater confidence and purposeful living.

A Companion for the lost and wayward traveller

I work with people who feel are feeling lost, adrift or trapped in their lives and are looking for a way to reconnect with themselves while navigating towards a happier, more fulling way to be. 

I work as a guide, sherpa and pathfinder – helping them connect with their own potential and craft a way forward to self-acceptance and brighter possibilities. I work as these travellers experienced and non-judgemental companion – helping to catalyse change while dispelling the guilt and shame that sometimes comes with being uniquely them.

No more guilt for being you. No more shame. No more sense of failure.
Instead, let’s use your innate talents and gifts to make the system work for you.
