James was excellent — knowledgeable, approachable, and took the time to explain everything clearly without rushing. I felt listened to, and all my questions were answered in a way that made me feel confident and reassured about the next steps. What stood out most was the level of care and attention to detail.

I have already given a thorough review of the Health Matters Group. I was actually referred to James Lamper by someone else in the group - which, in itself, tells one quite a bit about the positive, pro-active and genuinely helpful way that therapists of all specialisations within that company approach patients. James has been really excellent. He has a totally natural approach which is gently probing, searching for clues as to exactly how to help and all this is backed up by a lifetime of experience of working with many people suffering from differing elements of mental anguish. James is quite obviously a thoroughly ethical and decent human and this comes across extremely strongly in his personal approach to patients and his genuine desire to help find solutions. The therapy has been not just extremely effective but one really feels that one has a supportive friend there as well. This has led to a very effective outcome for myself which was, of course, the original plan. In other words - it works. Therapy tends, as most people understand, to be an on-going thing. But if one is set on the right track, first having identified correctly what the problems are, then there is a lot that any patient can do for themselves in an ongoing manner. Summing up, James has been a great therapist for me and the experience has been very positive and effective from the start.

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.
