Habit Formation and Behaviour Change

Updated on 24th June 2021

Hello, my name is Jim Byrne, and I am a Doctor of Counselling.   After more than twenty-two years’ experience in private practice, working with more than 1,000 clients, with a broad range of problems, I have developed great clarity about the best ways to change bad habits, and to build new habits.

Humans are creatures of habit.  I have observed over the years that it is easier to establish a bad habit than a good one.  And it is easier to break a good habit than a bad one.  In folk knowledge, this phenomenon was summed us like this: “The devil has all the best tunes!”

Now, I can help you to defeat your ‘devilish’ bad habits, and to form some better habits.

In brief, I have combined the most potent techniques available within the various system of counselling, coaching and psychotherapy, to develop a powerful approach to behaviour change.

If you want to change any habit – of over-consuming alcohol, drugs, or high calorie foods – then I can help you.

You, of course, must show commitment and determination to implement the guidelines that I will teach to you.

If you really want to change entrenched habits that are bad for you, or to establish some new, good habits, then I can help you.
