James Murphy

I’m a qualified counsellor and coach who also uses hypnotherapy and NLP techniques. With compassion and understanding, I help private clients and people in organisations overcome their personal and professional problems.

With 20+ years at IBM and a certified Agile coach, I also coach businesses, helping teams become happier and more productive.

My voluntary work includes leading a peer support group and establishing a football club for disadvantaged young people. I’ll bring hope and optimism to your life, and work with you so you can cope with your challenges.

Face-to-face, online or phone

I'm passionate about helping people transform their lives and achieve their full potential.

I'm a qualified integrative counsellor which means I draw on different techniques, providing individualised support for every client.

I am particularly keen on working with my clients to bring about change whether they have emotional problems or professional issues.

My aim is to bring out your strengths and allow you to cope independently in the future.
