I found talking with James

I found talking with James covering my still feelings of grief after the death of my first husband most rewarding. We also discussed my own mortality and the feelings surrounding it as I enter my 76th year, usually a taboo subject but now I feel much more comfortable facing my own death… a journey we all must make. Thank you James for your listening ear.

On reflection – using the sand tray…

On reflection – using the sand tray – it takes me out of my head and into my heart.

For me, James creates a very safe space

For me, James creates a very safe space where I know that I am listened to without judgement. He helps me to get in touch with the feelings that I struggle to express and uses approaches that push me towards finding the answers that I know are there but cannot always say out loud.

As a carer, it has been validating

As a carer, it has been validating as well as challenging, and a great support and safety valve at a difficult time in my life.

James is an excellent listener

James is an excellent listener and has provided a safe space for me to be free to talk about and explore the things that are important to me, and that trouble me, past, present and future.
