Testimonials

I worked with James for several years during my MMA career. He was excellent at understanding the psychological demands of the sport, explaining the principles involved, and coaching the skills needed to manage anxiety and improve performance. Many of the techniques and strategies that James taught me have also been helpful outside of sport, and I still use them to this day!

I have been playing golf for over 30 years but always struggled with making mistakes. With a few simple mental exercises James helped me overcome this and hit a lifetime best round at the age of 66!

I had the pleasure of first meeting James when he came in to do some introductory sessions for our university team on some sports psychology concepts. I found the group sessions captivating. In particular what James taught us in terms of visualisation I found incredibly beneficial and is a tool which I am still using 16 years later!
On the back of these group sessions I did some further one on one sessions with James, which set me up well as I made the transition from playing football at a semi professional level to full time professional
