I had an exceptional experience with the HealthMatters Group, working closely with James and Sue to address my chronic health condition. From the outset, the approach was genuinely bespoke and highly personalised, taking the time to understand not just my symptoms but my lifestyle, stressors, and long-term goals. The plan they developed combined functional medicine with psychological support and practical lifestyle management in a way that felt holistic, evidence-based, and sustainable. Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, I felt fully supported and educated at every step, with a clear understanding of why changes were recommended and how to implement them in real life. The impact has been significant. I now feel healthier than I have in over 10 years - with noticeably more energy, better stress management, and a far greater sense of control over my weight and overall wellbeing. Perhaps most importantly, I feel informed and empowered to manage my health proactively as I move into my 40s with confidence. I would highly recommend the HealthMatters Group to anyone looking for a truly integrated, thoughtful, and life-changing approach to long-term health.

My weight loss journey has been a struggle. But I am not alone. It is having someone that I am accountable too. That is helping me address my underlining beliefs about myself that are stopping me from seeing food as something more than fuel.

I’ve had a wonderful experience working with James. He is warm, attentive, and incredibly supportive. From the very beginning, I felt heard and understood. His ability to create a safe and nonjudgmental space made it easy to open up, and his insights have been both thoughtful and empowering. I’ve noticed real progress in how I manage stress, communicate, and understand myself. I’m grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist.

James has impacted my life in ways I can hardly begin to describe. From our very first session, he brought a rare combination of attentiveness, professionalism, and deep empathy. He created a safe space where I felt seen, heard, and truly understood, often for the first time. His guidance helped me unpack deeply rooted patterns and begin to heal from them with compassion rather than judgment. I was just telling him in our last session that I have been able to fill a "void with in" that has been there all my life. Working with James has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life, and I carry the tools and insights I have gained from our sessions into every aspect of my daily living.

I first met James in the Christmas holidays in 2018. I was sceptical of anyone being able to help and cynical about therapy in general. He checked out on paper and I was intrigued but I was very guarded and sure that the process was 'just for other people'. James never tried to convince me otherwise. He didn't need to. There were no false promises or hard sells but just a genuine desire to see if he could guide me towards a better place. We have been together on that journey on-and-off for 6 years now and in that time, I have never felt so seen or supported. James has an uncanny ability to zone in on the salient points in a conversation - infuriatingly, he knows when to challenge me as I try to deflect the hard questions, when to be a silent witness to my discoveries and when to make me laugh with his wicked sense of humour. I look forward to our weekly sessions and dread them in equal measure sometimes but I will always learn something from them.

James was just who I needed to see and I’m very grateful for being able to have therapy with him. He was always so professional. He listened, really heard me, understood what I needed and gently challenged me. I have tools for life but know I can go back if I need. I trust him implicitly and would urge anyone who thinks they need some help to see him. I am so very glad I did
