Our Services

Straightforward, Effective Controlled Drinking Program

If alcohol has started to cause you problems, influence or even take control of your life more than you would like, we can help you change that situation and get your control and your life back on track. Our program shows you how to regain control, balance, rebuild relationships and restore your health and get your sense of wellbeing back. The approach is practical, evidence-based and designed to deliver results that last. The program is far less difficult than you might think. In fact, most of our clients end up loving it.

Self Confidence and Self Esteem Coaching

Many people struggle with confidence, whether socially or at work. We can help you unlock your most authentic and confident self, so that your natural self-confidence grows. By learning practical strategies to manage doubt and self-criticism, fear and anxiety, you will develop a stronger sense of your own self-confidence that is genuine, authentic and sustainable.

Friendly Relationship Counselling and Coaching

Every relationship has its challenges, whether you are looking for the right partner, trying to strengthen an existing connection or deciding if it is time to move on. Our relationship counselling and coaching provides a safe space to explore your concerns and find the clarity and answers you need to move forward.

Stress & Anxiety Therapy

Stress and anxiety can feel overwhelming, but they do not have to control your life. We offer effective treatments that can help you let go of constant worry, reduce feelings of fear and regain a sense of calm and confidence. Together, we will work on practical strategies that allow you to move beyond these challenges.

Executive Coaching

Professional life can be demanding, but it does not need to feel unmanageable. Through executive coaching, you will learn how to approach challenges with clarity, perform with confidence and achieve results more effectively. The focus is on building the skills and mindset that make your career both successful and enjoyable.

A Few of Our 5-Star Reviews

“The skills & knowledge Jim has gained through years of experience in his field really show in his ability to quickly understand issues & clarify them for me. He explains concepts clearly & ensures I have full understanding of them. The solutions we form are both meaningful & practical to implement. Jim is a dynamic thinker who is passionate about helping people learn & grow. Sessions with him are always a positive & interesting experience – I walk out of appointments feeling inspired, empowered & confident about the best course of action to take. Jim is the best person I’ve come across to support me to strive towards my highest potential in all areas of life & I’m very grateful for what I’ve been able to achieve with his help.”

-Briar A

“I’m self employed – a professional circumstance that all too frequently lacks a feedback loop. In my conversations with Jim we talk about job satisfaction, career planning and objectives: we set goals, hit and miss targets, and develop strategies for embracing uncertainty, ensuring continuity and seeking professional fulfilment. We also explore specific professional challenges and work through solutions, and on the side we allocate some time toward the development of a passion for personal projects that might some day supplant the day job. It’s an enjoyable and rewarding journey, and I feel it has greatly enhanced my personal and professional effectiveness.”

-Rory B

“Jim is an accomplished professional and highly skilled in the field of counselling, but what is really impressive is the way he takes often complex ideas and breaks them down, piece by piece. The result was not only a set of solutions, but also a greater awareness of myself and the way people think and react to things in life. I have recommended Jim to several of my friends and family since our initial meeting – they have also benefited enormously from his knowledge and his approach. I would recommend Jim to anybody, whether they are dealing with a traumatic experience or are simply looking for ways of broadening their skills in dealing with challenges that life throws at all of us.”
