“I scored my first century today, couldn’t have done it without you!” – Top 40 ranked World Women’s Snooker player.

“James has helped me regain my confidence after a long term injury and a period of below-par performances. He is very knowledgeable in terms of the advices he gives.” –Female professional basketball player.

“James’s ability to make you engage with the concepts and strategies employed in sports psychology was outstanding. Good ability to communicate in a way that enables you to understand and learn new concepts. You would feel comfortable to discuss anything. Also very flexible and punctual.” – Male semi-professional footballer.

“I didn’t know what to expect at the start but I went to see James because I was really struggling to juggle all my commitments, which affected my basketball. We had 6 sessions together and I feel more positive now and feel that I am better at managing my time. I have been enjoying training more lately, hopefully my performances will improve too. I am glad I decided to email James in the first place” – Women’s British Basketball League player.

“James gave us a great presentation, linking it with the presentation preceding it and making me look good, all the County Coaches present were suitably impressed. The one-to-one talks went well and the feedback from the archers was very positive. If we decide to run a similar course in the future I hope I can contact him again.”- County archery club coach.

“I went to James because I had lost a lot of confidence in my game after going through a rough season, but he introduced some mental skills that have really helped me approach different matches and situations with more confidence in my ability and also a positive mindset. My game has been a lot better recently as a result.”- Male club tennis player.

“James has helped me overcome some of the anxiety I had playing in front of crowds, no matter how big. We worked together to go through whether all the overthinking I was doing, or mind reading as James coined it, was rational. It has really helped me to focus on more relevant things during matches now.” – Female club tennis player.

“I feel much better about coping with setbacks and I think I can use goal setting and imagery well by now. Overall, your help has been priceless to me, so I thank you very much for your time.”- Male gymnast.

“The consultation was of great use to me. I have taken away many things from the sessions which I am now applying on a regular basis. For football, I now have increased my use of visualisation. I am also doing the Great North Run next month and I am using strategies from our goal-setting sessions to run a successful race.” – Male university football player.
