ABOUT THE COACH
Meet James the founder of Deeper Routes, who has striven to develop highly specialised, bespoke and transformative mental health services for the last twenty years. Having worked as a mental health clinician for nearly twenty years in acute and specialised settings around the world, James has a wealth of experience and skills in delivering and prescribing advanced therapeutic practices and interventions to people, communities and corporate clients around the world.
James has extensive knowledge and delivery of technical mindfulness interventions and approaches which are weaved throughout his approach, acheiving phenomenal positive outcomes and results . Having studied a masters in Mindfulness at the University of Aberdeen, James has been able to integrate ancient practices with scientific based interventions within his mental health clinics for over five years, where appropriate instead of prescribing medication with outstanding results.
James’ deep knowledge of mindfulness has been inspired by his passionate interest of Buddhism and Hinduism, whose ethics are the heart centre of all interventions. As a mindfulness coach and facilitator, James has delivered break through meditations at retreats around the UK, including inner child, self critic, self compassion, tonglen and meta to name a few of his special interests.
James has lived and worked on specialist mental health projects in New Zealand and one of the most islands in the world, Saint Helena in the south Atlantic Ocean. His experiences of living in remote destinations have taught him the value of human connections, resourcefulness, resilence, self-sufficiency, spiritual community and discovering creative solutions for the most complex of human conditions. These are the very virtues James has built a thriving and successful coaching model for transformation.
James’ 1:1 psychological coaching offers transformational change for those who have the desire to challenge limiting beliefs, overcome obstacles and make tangible progression towards a compelling future. James uses a combination of NLP (Near-linguistic Practitioner) techniques and mindfulness to provide tailored and targeted personal development programmes. A combination or range of cognitive and sub-conscious applications can be drawn on to challenge and replace negative and limiting beliefs in a realistic and achievable time frame. At the clients pace, choice of setting (zoom or in person) and starting point, emphasis is placed on control and freedom to navigate a journey that is supported every step of the way towards the goal of growth.
