My Name is James.
A husband of 20 years, a father to 4, an Englishman living in Canada.
I'm passionate about football, cars, and my family. I'm a fatherless father who has had to figure out manhood on my own, and I'm committed to forging a path for others.
"Men can expect to be heard, championed and challenged here. And when I work with couples, I believe marriage is worth investing in and worth fighting for."
My work starts with understanding what you're actually carrying — pressure, anger, disconnection, the sense that something's off but you can't quite name it. Then we get practical about what to do with it.
Reaching out shouldn't feel like a confession or a verdict on who you are. It should feel like a practical next step, and that's what I aim to offer — support built around how men actually think and the real problems marriages run into.
I don't reinvent the wheel. My approach draws on proven methods like Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, Positive Psychology, and the Gottman Method for couples — not because the labels matter to you, but because they mean the help is grounded, not guesswork.
You don't have to commit to counselling forever to get started.
