Life Coaching
Direct, confidential coaching for men and women rebuilding after sobriety, divorce or a career that stopped fitting. In Bali, or online wherever you are.
Overview
Life Coaching with James.
As a life coach, my services extend to individual 1:1 sessions with people who want to focus on business & career, life after divorce, staying sober, and dealing with change.
I am located in Uluwatu, Bali, and can do in person coaching for those fortunate enough to be on this beautiful island, alternatively, i can provide my coaching services to anywhere in the world using Zoom.
You won't ever see any ratings for my business or services as I simply don't trust them. You are welcome to speak to past clients if you need reassurances, but I firmly believe that when you meet someone you just know through feelings.
01, Focus Area
Life after divorce.
My journey was the best thing that me and my ex could have done to be happier individually. But the process made me sick, and I went down the wrong path and self-destructed. I recovered, but had to make sacrifices.
I now co-parent my two amazing daughters from Bali. My ex and kids are in London. We have made it work as best we can.
If you want to speak about divorce from a male perspective, then get in touch.
02, Focus Area
Business & career.
My 27-year career has taught me so much about how to be and how not to be in the workplace. I've been a board member at global financial companies (American Express, Thomas Cook Money and Travelex). I have been CEO. And I have started three businesses, each with varying degrees of success.
I have mentored many individuals on my journey to help them with life and careers. I've been a circuit speaker and panelist at global financial services events, and a motivational speaker at universities.
I also know the feeling of rejection. Being fired. Being made redundant. And closing a business down.
03, Focus Area
Staying sober.
This is a really tricky subject as it is hard to convince someone to stop and stay stopped. You can influence / motivate / show what a new life looks like / help build a new life. But YOU have to own the responsibility of keeping sober.
If you need support, motivation and more tools in your toolbox then let's chat. If you are considering stopping an addiction let's chat. Everyone is different and I respect that but talking is a good first step after deciding you want to own a recovery.
I can help with 12 steps or different methods we can work on together.
04, Focus Area
Life change.
My own personal journey to change my life has been captured and bottled up into The James: Affect Life Transformation Program. We can explore together through coaching elements of the Program so that you understand the process to change, what sacrifices you may have to make, what the benefits and outcomes are of making a change.
If you aspire to change your life direction, let's speak.
Client Testimonial
“I’m grateful to have connected with James. Working with him was an important part of my sober journey. From the very first conversation, I felt I could trust him. He was approachable, calm, and an exceptionally good listener, the kind of person you can open up to without feeling judged or rushed.”
What made the biggest difference was how practical he was. James didn’t just offer encouragement, he helped me come up with real solutions I could use day to day. Whenever I felt stuck or overwhelmed, he had a way of breaking things down so they felt manageable again.
He also knew exactly when I needed motivation and when I needed reassurance. His support never felt generic, it felt personal, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in my progress.
Another thing that stood out was how well he engaged with my partner. He made sure we were all on the same page and helped us agree on how to manage things together. That sense of teamwork made the whole process feel safer and more stable.
We worked remotely and James was always available without appointments or barriers. Knowing he was there when I needed support made a huge difference.
I’m grateful for everything James did for me. His guidance and motivation helped me move forward, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for support on their own sober journey.
