From 17.85 £ /h

Hi,

My name is James and I have been working with people for many years now. I have had a very long and interesting journey(happy and sad) and I have risen from my ashes and this has given me a view of life that I believe with help and inspire you to do the same: Rise from your own ashes and feel free to be yourself 100%

People have been coming to me and speaking with me for their lives and asking my perspective and advice most of my life.
I have been studying social behaviors, relationships(sexual and platonic), sexuality, self-help, finding your path, etc...

I have gained an interesting view of life and whether you are looking for someone just to listen or to offer unique advice that is created for you for your individual self, then I would love to get to know you and see how we can ease the stress that you are currently facing in your life.

Thank you and I am looking forward to speaking with you soon.

James

About Me

Hi, I'm James!
Most of my life I have been studying how people interact and how different social influences affect the individual and relationships. Extensively communicating with a diverse group of people throughout the world as I traveled. I spent this time trying to understand how I can heal myself and help use what I have learned to help others. Learning how to communicate and heal has been a huge part of my life and this development has led me to help many people along the way. Once I decided to take this more seriously, I found myself counseling others and eventually led me to Apprentus and now I am here to help shed some light into the darker parts of your life; whether you are looking to just converse in English or you're looking for a friend to hear your struggles and to find an outside perspective to help you on your journey. I hope you can take from me what you need and i'm looking forward to our first class together.
Have a beautiful day
James

Born following behavioral observation, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) designates a whole set of techniques (dissociation, reframing, etc.) and methods aimed at promoting the personal development of the individual.

Neuro-linguistic programming is concerned with how humans function in a given environment, based on their behavioral patterns. Through a set of techniques and methods, NLP helps to change the way an individual perceives his environment. Indeed, each individual has a map of the world which is specific to him, and which is modulated by his beliefs and his conditioning. The purpose of NLP is to modify this map in order to enable the individual to achieve their goals more effectively. NLP therefore provides the necessary tools to make personal and structural changes, in order to create new potential for success.

Neuro-linguistic programming is primarily concerned with "How to make it work well?" Rather than "Why is this not working?" ". It suggests recognizing the behaviors we adopt when communicating, and then making changes if desired.

- “Programming” refers to the fact that we are conditioned by our environment which includes a system of beliefs and behaviors.
- “Neuro” means that these programs are encoded in our neural circuits.
- “Linguistics” refers to language, whether verbal or non-verbal.

Examples of benefits of Neurolinguistic Programming:

-Improvement of the mother-child relationship
-Improved performance and decreased anxiety
-Improvement of psychological difficulties and quality of life
(..)

The objective of this training: to target the tools which will support your communication, your image, will help you to decipher your interlocutor (...) to better achieve your objectives.

Thus, after having exchanged with you about the essential blockages that you encounter, targeted areas for improvement, your objectives (...), pragmatic tools, techniques & methods will be put in place based on the initial data. Combined with these theoretical elements, their implementation will follow (for example, by filmed simulations or at the end of the session in real life).

Course of a session: in conversational form, the practitioner identifies the problem and determines the objective with the client by asking a set of questions. He directs his questions towards solutions rather than the story that generated the situation.

Then according to his practice, the practitioner uses the tools at his disposal in order to remove blockages and promote behavioral change, while deciphering the communication of the other as well as his own, thanks to specific NLP tools.

THE PRACTITIONER
Trained at the Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our consultant teacher trainer has specialized and worked for more than 17 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, regularly speaking in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support, with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical.

I offer hypnosis sessions via video call or at home, in a serious, discreet, respectful and goal-oriented setting.

Hypnosis is neither sleep, nor magic, nor a loss of control. It is a natural state of concentration, in which attention is directed more towards inner experience: sensations, images, emotions, perceptions. You remain conscious and fully involved in the session: nothing is done against your will. The work is built with your collaboration, your consent, and your involvement.

The sessions can help, in particular, to work on:

-stress, mental load, and the need for calm,
-sleep, difficulty falling asleep, and rumination,
-self-confidence, self-esteem, motivation and mental preparation,
-certain habits and automatic behaviors,
-certain emotional blockages, fears, or discomforts,
-certain so-called “soft” addictions, depending on the context: tobacco, alcohol, snacking, screens, compulsive behaviors.

Each session is tailored to your needs, your way of working, and your objective. My approach is clear, progressive, and respectful, without unnecessary theatrics or unrealistic promises.

Important: Hypnosis is not a substitute for medicine. Any medical condition requires appropriate medical attention. I do not treat emergencies or high-risk situations, nor do I address addictions to hard drugs or issues requiring intensive treatment. In these cases, appropriate medical or addiction treatment is necessary. I do not make medical diagnoses.
