James Hartley

I’m an award-winning therapist and former elite athlete with over 6,000 hours of clinical experience accumulated over 9 years. I specialize in supporting high achievers facing personal and professional challenges. Get in touch for a free consultation.

As a high-achieving professional, overcoming adversity is something you are accustomed to. However, some challenges regarding your well-being, relationships, or career may feel impervious to the strategies that have served you well so far.

You might worry that seeking help means sacrificing your identity, high ideals, or is a sign of weakness or failure. But in my experience, addressing these challenges strengthens your well-being and brings you closer to the future you want.

What sets my practice apart is the unique combination of representing Great Britain as an Olympic weightlifter, experiencing PTSD after a career-ending accident, and completing six years of clinical training within my nine years of clinical experience to become a highly skilled therapist.

My career has spanned work in the NHS, charity, private, and corporate sectors, as well as contributing to academic research.

Today, I offer a sense of purpose and clarity to people like you, navigating the high-pressure demands of leadership and achievement-driven careers.

My Approach

Drawing from my experience as an elite athlete and a professional therapist, I bring a unique perspective that combines mental resilience, compassion, and empathy to help you excel.

I tailor my approach to the unique challenges faced by ambitious professionals in an environment where confidentiality and discretion are of utmost importance:

• Counselling: A confidential space where you can discuss what you can't share anywhere else, with someone who is unconditionally in your corner.

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Practical, results-driven strategies that help you manage unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviour, with an immediate impact on your well-being and performance.

• Mindfulness: Tools to stay grounded, focused, and present, enabling you to break free from the constant cycle of limiting thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to find contentment without sacrificing your ambitions.

• Business Mentoring: Combining psychological expertise to help you navigate decision-making, leadership challenges, conflict resolution, and communication, paving the way for career advancement.

Sessions are 60 minutes long, with a limited number of spaces per day to ensure the highest quality of personalised care. 

I offer face-to-face sessions in my private practice at the Royal Exchange in Manchester, as well as online and telephone sessions from Tuesday to Friday for clients all over the UK and Europe.
