Why Choose This Program?
What makes this recovery program different?
It’s not just another generic approach. My practice is shaped by the latest research and the wisdom of world-renowned experts – Judith Herman, Bessel van der Kolk, Steven Gold, and pioneering neuroscientists.
With a doctorate in counselling and decades of specialized experience, I tailor every aspect of your recovery to fit you – your story, your strengths, and your goals. You get a solution as unique as you are.

Unsolicited client testimonial

♣ “Hey Jim, You’re a freakin genius, the way you guided me gently and kindly out of a place of mental confusion and lostness, into a place of taking responsibility for my life, and speaking up for myself, and beginning to process all the traumas that have blighted my life. I am so very grateful for everything you’ve done for me over the past three years of ‘moving into the light’! I was buried under a mountain of mental trash when I first consulted you. And all your reports and documents and homework activities have become woven into my creative life, as a bonus!”

Personalized Assessment – Your Roadmap to Transformation
Success starts with understanding. That’s why we begin with a comprehensive assessment designed to uncover your unique patterns and needs. Through industry-leading tools like the Joines Personality Adaptations Questionnaire, Attachment Styles Questionnaires, and the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Questionnaire, we identify the roots of your struggles and map out a plan for real, lasting change. Clarity and direction from Day One.

Proven, Evidence-Based Therapeutic Methods
Your journey is supported by a powerful blend of science-backed therapies and practical strategies:

- Talk therapy – gentle, guided conversations to help you process and heal from the inside out.
- Follow–up reports – detailing what happened at our meetings; and my observations and reflections; and my conclusions. Plus the details of one or two psycho-educational documents which will be sent when you have digested my report.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – a cutting-edge technique to reframe and release past trauma.
- Mindfulness meditation and Chi Kung – restore peace, balance, and resilience in body and mind.
- Gestalt chairwork and personalized journal exercises – discover deeper self-awareness and self-compassion.
- Social connection and relationship building – learn to create healthy, supportive bonds that sustain your progress.
Each step is carefully paced and fully customized to ensure safety and steady progress – no “one-size-fits-all” solutions, just proven results.

Client testimonial
♣ “Hi Jim, I am so grateful to you for the therapy sessions over the past year which have unearthed deep-seated feelings about my relationship with my mother. Recently I have managed to process a lot of those feelings, which led me to some important insights about how I hold back from other people, because of my fear of rejection. But I had thought they were rejecting me, while the truth is that I was avoiding them! That was so liberating, and allowed me to feel so much better about myself. Thank you for creating the supportive space in which all of this emerged and developed!”
P.E., Rochdale, Lancs. (Several sessions of F2F and Skype sessions for childhood developmental trauma).
