Meet The Team

Master of Psychology (Sport & Exercise) at the University of Queensland

James is a General & Performance Psychologist, having completed a Master of Psychology (Sport & Exercise) at the University of Queensland. He is warm, authentic and client-focused. James' philosophy and commitment is to treat clients as equals, as fellow human beings, recognising each person as the expert of their own experience.

With a passion for helping each individual move towards and maximise their potential, James wants to improve the way we live, work, and behave in all aspects of our lives that are meaningful to us. His goal is to ensure each person has the resources and skills to manage their mental health and wellbeing. He recognises that each person is different, with unique strengths and values. As such, James’ approach is to co-create personalised strategies for helping his clients be the person they want to be.

His approach draws from a wide variety of therapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Neurofeedback, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Neuroscience-Informed Practice. His approach draws on a variety of disciplines and focuses on the commonalities and interconnections among them. His priority is to distil the essence of what works by focusing on practical tools that produce results.

James is equipped to work across a range of mental health presentations including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, trauma, panic disorder, ADHD and neurodivergence. He is also equipped to work on performance enhancement in areas such as sport, business, music and performing arts.

James is passionate about health and fitness and plays basketball, in addition to spending time exercising at the gym and walking. He also loves to watch the NBA (basketball), spending time with his dogs, exploring nature, and relaxing with friends and family.
