Romi
Jim's approach is unique, diverse and effective. This is more than "Therapy" in it's traditional sense, it's about setting the foundations of self-compassion and building on this with strengthening your mental well-being, fitness and continuously coaching you to achieve what you desire through a positive and mindful approach. Whatever the challenge, Jim will help you find your way to your ideal outcome in a supportive, open, honest and kind manner. More...

I had tried many therapies, medications and routes to find healing, happiness and resolution of trauma (trauma which was eating me up)
Over the years I have practiced the “law of attraction” (which is a universal principle that states you attract whatever in your life what you focus on).
Negative thoughts were consuming me, Not being able to remove negative thoughts was on my priority
list.
I wanted to find a therapist who understood my beliefs.
I searched on Amazon and found Jim’s book, Be Happy, Be Well, Be You! I contacted Jim for face to face therapy and he changed my life in a matter of weeks. He is a down to earth GENIUS.

Over the past several months my partner and I have been seeing Jim on a weekly basis to discuss the problems we have been having.
Problems that had become more acute with time and which had begun to seem insurmountable. Jim was our last resort.
His calm approach and his reasoned understanding have basically saved our relationship and although we are not “fixed” yet, we continue to look forward to our weekly sessions with this lovely man as he constantly surprises us with his insights . Thank you, Jim from Emma and myself ❤️

I have known Jim for many years, but since being diagnosed with two stage 4 cancers Jim has been a life savernot only supporting and encouraging me to beat a seemingly life threatening cancer.
He also with his extensive knowledge of herbs and natural therapies has certainly helped me to regain my health and vitality. To the surprise of my medical teamwho have also been very supportive of alternative medicines.
Fulvic has made a huge difference to my health and continues to do so.

Jim is an amazing individual, always available to help support and advise the best solutions for a problem.
I've known Jim for many years and class this as a blessing in disguise in getting to know such an amazing personality who's always there to deliver the best solution to whatever the problem may be.
Jim has helped me get up from where I was in my mindset full of negativity and when I was on a dip down in my business and life.
Jim has picked me up from the underground and made me capable of standing up to face the world and the diversity to the life challenges and become a fighter who will never lose, no matter how difficult a challenge can be.
You are truly a gifted personality Jim, always be who you are.

What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing clients with a smile on their faces in our very first session together. This happens in the large majority of cases. I also take great satisfaction in the fact that the majority of my clients actually look forward to our meetings, and can't wait to tell me of their achievements since our last meeting.
And it is the greatest feeling in the world when somebody who can to me in a desperate state goes on to lead a happy and fulfilling life.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was the victim of a very vicious and life-threatening armed robbery in 2010 and was an outpatient in The Priory for about a year. I decided to become a therapist because of the amount of interaction that I had with other clients. I realised that I have a huge empathy with people, and I get the required results in a positive, relaxed and friendly manner.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have worked with Guildford Borough Council (with funding from Project Aspire), which enabled me to work with the best, and had fantastic results from Oakleaf, a Lottery Funded mental health organisation, with 92% of their clients stating that they were better able to cope with their mental health issues after attending one of the three-hour seminars that I developed and conducted.
I have attended the Power to Achieve three-day event and continue to study and develop my skills to be the best I can be.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
To me, there is nothing better than face-to-face meetings, but I realise that in these times it becomes rather difficult, and some clients actually prefer remote meetings, so am happy to offer my service online.
I always work towards achieving the best results for my clients, and will give the best service possible at all times.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
My consulting room is not part of the main house, so there is plenty of space for social distancing, with hand gel, tissues, a toilet with hand basin facilities, and individual bottled water if required. I also have a parking area that is off-road and safely distanced from any other visitors.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but is also a useful therapy, when integrated with other techniques, for other mental and physical health problems. It is the most commonly used therapy in the U.K.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. It used as a therapeutic technique that calms and relaxes the mind and body, encouraging natural healing and contentment.
Ho'Oponopono
Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of healing through forgiveness. We can learn a lot about forgiveness from this ancient and powerful tradition. Ho’o means ‘to make‘ and pono ‘right‘ – the double use of pono means with both yourself and others.
By letting go of negative emotions, that only cause us pain, we can truly heal and be happy.
Studies have shown that Ho’oponopono can help feelings of forgiveness, even after just one session. It may even help us physically and has been shown to lower blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure. Forgiveness is shown to reduce depression and anxiety and improve feelings of hope and happiness in the future.
The Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction basically means "Like attracts like". This law suggests that similar things are attracted to one another. It means that people tend to attract others who are similar to them—but it also suggests that people's thoughts tend to attract similar results. Negative thinking is believed to attract negative experiences, while positive thinking is believed to produce desirable experiences.
People often over-complicate The Law of Attraction with unrealistic expectations but used properly it creates a whole new awakening to yourself, others and nature.
Hypnotic Communication
Hypnotic communication provides a pathway into your subconscious mind. When you develop your skills in hypnotic communication, it makes a significant difference in how easy you achieve goals. ... Recognise harmful programs within your mind and transform these programs, so they help you rather than inhibit you.
Your subconscious never sleeps, but only works on what it believes to be true learned from your life experiences. Imagine that by consciously reprogramming your subconscious how much your subconscious can work positively for you whilst you are relaxing or sleeping.
I also show you how to achieve far greater time in 'rest and digest' mode to improve sleeping, depression and anxiety.
Sacred Freedom Techniques
Sacred Freedom Techniques are perfect for you if you’re short on time and need a quick way to find peace and mental clarity so that you can rekindle your passion for life and fuel your pursuits for love, professional success, and rewarding relationships.
These techniques incorporate 'Tapping', which is based on the combination of Ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. The practice consists of tapping with your fingertips on specific meridian points while focusing on negative emotions or physical sensations.
This is followed by positive reprogramming affirmations that help to clear your limiting beliefs.
