The Liberated Mind

As a therapist we often give so much of ourselves to other people and can become exhausted, have low energy and feel quite overwhelmed from a personal perspective. James Mind Reboot has chipped away at my own subconscious blockages over the weeks and allowed me to feel energised , free and confident again to pursue my goals, dreams and ambitions. It has been intense at times re visiting old emotions & fears but absolutely I have felt each week that the slate has been wiped clean , and I now understand the true benefits of Mind Reboot from a therapist having experienced it , moving forwards also to use as a package with my own clients. Every week was new , different and interesting allowing me to approach the past in a safe controlled environment that has lasting benefits. On a personal level James gives 💯 percent to his work , and has the intuition and experience to know when certain emotions or memories need collapsing or re visiting. He’s a true professional. Thanks James , highly recommend. 😊👏👍 More...

James is a truly amazing therapist and I cannot recommend him highly enough. It is the best investment in 'you' that you can make as the positive effects ripple out into all areas of your life. Having recently completed his mind reboot program I have cleared my 'mental clutter' that was taking up headspace and draining me of energy. It has been a life changing. I came to James for help with a severe lifelong phobia and some trauma issues and he has guided me through processing these at their root cause. James has an immensely calming demeanour and within a few minutes of speaking with him I felt comfortable and trusted him to guide me through all this mental baggage. The way he explains the science and background is very logical and calming. He is empathetic, kind, instantly makes you feel at ease and totally brilliant at his work. As well as the positivity I felt by the end of each session, I was reassurred that I was equipped with the tools to deal with any blips that may come up in the future or when uncomfortable thoughts/feelings may surface. Jame's desire and dedication to help is heartfelt and this comes across in his work. Thank you so much James, it has been a life changing journey and I am extremely grateful. You are a star 🌟 More...

I contacted James as I was finding that issues from my past were having a negative effect on how I was reacting to everyday situations. The Mind Reboot Program has helped me resolve those issues allowing me to be so much more calmer and positive. I now complete tasks and deal with situations in a much more confident way. James was so knowledgeable I felt I could trust him. I would highly recommend. More...

Jame’s mind reboot sessions were fantastic. They helped me straight away from session one resolving the way I feel and react to things, as well as making me aware of my own limiting beliefs about myself & how to change them. Having had other forms of therapy in the past which help to talk things through, I always felt like nothing really changed with them moving forward, however this wasn’t the case with the mind reboot. James is welcoming, friendly and puts you at ease which really helps too. More...

Having struggled with an over active mind for many many years, the claim of a liberated mind seemed impossible to achieve. Yet just a few days after finishing my final session with James, the first words that came to mind to describe the differences i felt within myself was “liberated”. Through the sessions many prohibiting thoughts were removed and by the end it felt like I was looking at life through a fresh set of eyes and mind. The process James used was really simple and sometimes almost fun, I enjoyed discovering things about myself I didn’t know had been there. I didn’t have to talk too much about my issues and if any emotion did arise, James used a gentle clam style and techniques to help me move though it. I’d highly recommend his services. More...

Was really happy to have finally processed the various traumatic experiences that occurred across the course of my life, so they can exist as memories without the intense emotions that came up when they remembered. My anxiety over the future is significantly improved and I feel now that without the limiting subconscious beliefs that were keeping me stuck in negative loops I can properly get on with my life without going round and round in circles. If you're needing a good clear out and reset of the mind, the 6 session package is one of the best investments you can make for yourself. More...

I would 100% recommend James Banfield! After years of various other types of therapy this has been the one that actually made real life improvements. I was initially hesitant and nervous but James very quickly put me at ease and trust was built within the first session. Many things I had been struggling with for years no longer even enter my conscious and it has allowed me (in a very short time) to release narratives that I had thought were now part of who I was. I often go back for check-ins and have the space now to approach other topics I may not have in the past. Thank you James! More...

I have absolutely loved working with James, his ability to explain how the mind works and why we get stuck with behaviours and dealing with our thoughts, was so enlightening in working through my challenges.

Working with James has been absolutely incredible and in only a couple of months he has helped me to quickly turn my mental health and outlook towards life around. I could notice the positive progress I was making after every session, and James’ relaxed and uplifting demeanour meant I was always comfortable and felt safe. James has a wonderful clear way of explaining how our brains and the sub-conscious parts of the mind work. I was able to understand that the behaviours I had been exhibiting were natural - I just needed some help to create better patterns, rewire some past traumas and get back into the logical part of my brain! I have gone from feeling very low to once again relaxed, confident and excited about being alive and what the future holds, as well as feeling my creativity return. I would absolutely recommend James and encourage anyone considering working with him that it will be the best decision you can make for yourself. 🌟 More...

James is professional and excellent at what he does. I came with General Anxiety Disorder and & C-PTSD, and a few other labels. I never had to explain what I’d been through, but if I brought it up he was supportive and listened. The techniques he used have helped me change my responses to many triggers. I can feel such a difference to my life. The memories are there but they feel different, no longer do I feel like I’m reliving the traumas and as a result my anxiety is decreasing overall. And even if it flares I am able to cope, use the techniques and take back control of my life. Thank you James. You are a star. More...

I was looking at the questionnaire James had sent me before starting the coaching to remember where I was before and my aims with the coaching. In this questionnaire I wrote that I was feeling stuck professionally, unemployed yet unable to apply for jobs. This made feel terribly unhappy and lost in life. I had a long depression and my own history of mental illness had made me fearful of life. I was full of doubt regarding myself, feeling unworthy, failing...My goals with the therapy were to overcome my fear of applying for jobs and actually apply to them, to choose a good company where I could remain for a long period and, a deeper question, to help me identify what I truly wanted to do in life that felt fulfilling. I had had CBT and some therapy before which were not effective. Many years ago, I had psychoanalysis and I loved it, yet unfortunately too expensive. Some time ago I had taken a course on NLP and it did help me to reach goals and empower the mind. I searched and found “The Liberated Mind”. I did see 5 stars on all the reviews, and I thought “this is weird”, but the reviews were genuine. So, I gave it a go. James truly knew how to use the NLP techniques plus psychodynamic therapy (the unconscious relationship patterns that may have evolved from your childhood) and Person Centred (self-development in the ‘here and now’). From the beginning I understood that James’ purpose was not to keep me in therapy for years. James released my pain and dealt with PTSD. He was incredibly dedicated to make me feel better. He surely went the extra mile. Very soon I was feeling happier and I certainly came out of the depression quickly. I was achieving my exercise and house management goals; I was having a wonderful relationship with my family and I was thinking positively.Yet, two things were happening: I was not listening to the hypnosis tracks consistently and I unconsciously was searching for a psychoanalytic therapy. By session 10 James said to me that were not progressing as quickly as he expected. I started listening to the tracks every night and I now feel great! I am applying for jobs consistently. Now I feel I am a goal achiever; I have a purpose, I am getting things done (so, do listen to the tracks), I think differently, I approach life in a different way. I am a different person. I will keep on going every 3 weeks and very soon once a month (instead of every week) to keep up the good work and completely engrain the good habits in my unconscious. I feel liberated.Thank you, James. More...

Wow what a great guy James is! I was super nervous as I’ve never done anything like this before but within minutes of arriving James put me completely at ease and that’s not an easy task when tackling someone like me. I booked to see if James could help with my fear of flying but not only did he help me with that he has also given me the tools to tackle my fear of public speaking too. I honestly left the session feeling super positive and like he has made a real difference to the way I’m looking at things. i felt like I was walking on air afterwards. Instead of a fear of dread when I think of flying I’m now wanting to take a flight to use the tools he’s given me and instead of not wanting to go to a meeting I’m feeling like if I was met with having to talk openly then I would be able to....that’s pretty darn incredible considering the limited time he had with me.He has also sent me a super relaxing video to watch whenever I’m feeling edgy, I watched it this afternoon and passed out on the sofa due to the complete calmness of it, amazing. So yes, I would highly recommend James to anyone looking to tackle something that’s bothering you, he may have just fixed a problem that has severely affected me for the last couple of years and also another thing that has hindered me for many more years than that!
