Counselling

Alby was a huge support from the day my husband suddenly left me after 30 years for another woman. He taught me chest tapping to relieve my tensions and he listened as I babbled out all my pain - well a lot of it. It’s been 6 months and I am beginning to find myself. Thx Alby More...

I'd like to highly recommend Alby james as a life coach and all round good person. He's contributed to me turning my life around and helped me though some very dark times, I'll be forever grateful that I found him when I did. My life has just continued to get better since learning albys teachings, the tools he teaches are with you for life and the freedom you gain from doing the inner work is life changing to say the least.

His level of patience is incredible and creates real space for change.

Relationship and Marriage Counselling

We came to talk with Alby at a time when we were really struggling to connect and communicate. We weren’t sure how to move forward, but from our very first session, Alby created a safe, calm space where we both felt heard and understood.

Not only did he help us rebuild our communication as a couple, but he also supported us individually in understanding ourselves better.

We are so grateful for his guidance, patience, and genuine care. We would highly recommend him to any couple wanting to strengthen their relationship and themselves.

Alby has been such a positive change in my life. I have been having sessions with Alby for almost a year now and my feelings, thoughts and communication have never been better. He has helped with pulling out those emotional pickles that seemed to continue popping up, my fear of flying, relationships, constant overthinking and setting boundaries just to name a few.
The conversation goes so smoothly and it flows nicely. I would highly recommend Alby to anyone who is looking for some help in life's daily struggles

Life Coaching

I have been, and am still currently working with Alby through many of the hurdles I'm encountering in my life.
I have found his holistic approach in coaching to be very helpful in recognizing a few certain troublesome areas in my life, some of these areas to name a few are: Negative thought patterns, deeply rooted false belief systems, and people pleasing tendencies, and have found that his methods of grounding are helping me to set more realistic goals, and set healthy boundaries for myself in my steps towards finding new ground on my journey into new career opportunities. Our work together has also helped me to start establishing better communication to build healthy like minded connections in all walks of relationships.

I Highly recommend Alby as a life coach to anyone wanting to work on themselves, or their relationships in any way shape or form.
His down to earth attitude was an epic addition to helping me feel relaxed during our work together.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👌🏼 Top notch!

Working with Alby was truly the best thing my partner and I could have done. Our relationship gained back trust and we are back to a healthy relationship.

I cannot recommend Alby James highly enough for anyone seeking meaningful growth in their personal and professional life. His holistic approach to coaching has impacted me across multiple areas—leadership, business, and personal development .

Through Alby’s guidance, I’ve gained invaluable insights into leadership and business mentoring, helping me refine my decision-making skills and navigate challenges with confidence. His ability to help reframe obstacles has been a game-changer, allowing me to shift my mindset and approach situations with clarity and resilience.

On a personal level, Alby’s support in stress management and self-awareness has been transformative. He has helped me recognise thought patterns, emotional triggers, and self-limiting beliefs, giving me the tools to manage stress and cultivate a more balanced mindset.

Perhaps most importantly, his work in relationships—both personal and professional—has been instrumental in fostering deeper connections and effective communication. His coaching has enhanced my ability to build meaningful relationships and create stronger bonds.

Alby’s unique combination of wisdom, empathy, and practical strategies makes him an exceptional coach. If you’re looking for a pragmatic coach who truly understands the realities of growth and transformation, I wholeheartedly recommend Alby.

Working with Coach Alby has been an amazing experience. The counciling I've received from Alby is something that I now use in my everyday life, prior to counciling there were things in my life I never thought I could accept and get past. I have now overcome those things I thought I never could and without Coach Alby I wouldn't have. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone. More...

I found Alby to be really down to earth which made me feel comfortable and more at ease to discuss the not so comfortable subjects . The communication skills and coping techniques he taught us are the reason we have saved our marriage after I really thought the only option is divorce after heartbreaking admissions came out.I had one foot out the door so to speak but thanks to Alby we have actually rediscovered our 'honeymoon' feelings and how to keep that alive. Something I thought we'd never have again.Learning about communication skills and triggers and how to deal with them has been an eye opener and changed my life and allowing me to live life and enjoy it again.Thankyou Alby for teaching me how to love my life again and live the life I love More...

Alby has an ethos on life that embodies compassion, love and respect. Working with him I found these qualities were integrated into each session and as a result created a safe and sensitive space for me to share and unwind the stress, tension and anxiety that was present for me. I highly recommend Alby as a facilitator of transportation. More...

Working with Alby for me was like I could relate to someone who grew up the way I did. The mental power I have now is 100 times greater than any physical power I thought I had.
I highly recommend as Alby can help you learn too, the things our parents don't always teach us in how to see and deal with situations and some of the toughest things life can throw at you. That's why i give Alby 5 stars, because for me, he helped me so much.
Cheers Alby👍🏻

Counselling

When I first started with Alby I likened him to a chameleon because of how he would almost instantly adapt and provide the info I needed to deal with my varying challenges. Then I thought no he’s more like a wizard who would conjure up the potions I needed to heal me from the inside out and help me escape my darkest moments with renewed courage and strength. Whatever way you look at him, Alby is a genuine bloke with huge heart and passion for his trade.
However, it wasn’t until recently when my daughter confided in me troubling moments from her past, that I finally realised the true worth of everything that Alby had passed on to me.
I was able help her confront her fears and let her steer herself towards her true potential.
For me, this is what it’s all about! Thanks Alby for being you.

Very helpful. Helped me heal my childhood traumas and build my relationship with my spouse. The techniques he suggested really helped me to work through my problems.

Myself and my partner have had the privilege of working with Alby, originally to help with relationship communication, but as we have now learnt this has been the start of a journey that has changed, not only us but also our relationship with our children. He is very easy to get along with, you quickly feel comfortable talking and every session you walk away with some new insight into life you can use. If you have tried and failed with other councilors in the past, as i had, book an appointment. This is alot deeper than just talking! Alby is also very talented at repairing stubborn body sore spots and repairing postural faults you didn't know you had :) More...

Alby has helped to fundamentally change my way of dealing with everyday life. He has a presence and space that is not only free from all judgement, but has an incredible understanding about him, which made it very easy to open up to. With the tools Alby has taught me, I can identify situations or triggers that make me feel the way I do, and how to counteract them or move through them. Highly recommend Alby, and only wish I went to see him sooner. More...

I have absolutely loved working with Alby ever since our first session.
