With over 16 years of experience and having worked with over 600 clients, I help expats navigate life's transitions and build a meaningful, fulfilling life abroad. Together, we’ll create clarity, overcome challenges, and unlock your true potential.

My unique two-minds approach blends the depth of behavioural therapy with the actionable strategies of coaching, ensuring you move forward with clarity and confidence.

What sets my coaching apart?

  • A Global Perspective: With professional experience in the UK, France, and the US, I deeply understand the nuances of cross-cultural transitions and the emotional complexities of starting over.

  • Tailored, Goal-Oriented Approach: My 3-part framework combines goal setting, overcoming barriers, and a transformative 4-step Change Process to guide you through real, lasting progress.

  • Grounded in Science: My methodology is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), proven approaches that help you build resilience and take practical steps toward change.

  • Support with Heart: Whether you're managing career transitions, cultural adjustments, or relationships, I provide compassionate, action-oriented support tailored to the expat experience.

Client Reviews

  • "I was amazed at the change"

    “ I was amazed at the change from my first session to my final session... I could not have asked for a better program or a more assertive practitioner. Not only were my issues overcome but the nature of the sessions taught me to overcome similar issues in the future on my own.”

  • "The collaborative approach”

    “James guided me through the process of behaviour change. The collaborative approach we took allowed me to take a step back from the emotional and look logically and rationally at my problems.”

  • "I learned to appreciate & value my life”

    “James helped me to view my thoughts and moods in a more positive way so that they no longer swamp me. He showed me how to appreciate and value my life and to be more compassionate towards myself and not be ruled by my negative worries.”

Life Coaching

In addition to expat coaching, I help clients develop the skills and confidence to achieve their goals in various areas. This includes support for low self-esteem, work-related stress, executive functioning challenges, career development, and communication difficulties.

IN TWO Minds…

Does your mind whisper, “There’s no point trying,” or “You’ll never make friends here”? Maybe it weighs you down with guilt about those you’ve left behind. That’s your Rooted Mind—shaped by upbringing, culture, genetics, and evolution.

But your Conscious Mind holds your wisdom, values, kindness, and logic. Learning to empower it helps you pause, gain perspective, and make compassionate choices that align with your values—guiding you toward the life you want.
