My names is James Harding and I am the proud father of five children, a loving husband, and founder of the Hard Cuddles organisation.

Empathising with people from different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds has always come naturally to me, and I am now in a place where I can use my skills, knowledge and experiences to give back to the community I once took advantage of. My passion in life is helping other human beings overcome emotional challenges, a passion that I channel through Hard Cuddles.

I love the way emotions can be externalised as body language and behaviours, and through observing these I gain insight into an individual’s internal experience. Through sharing my personal story I am able to connect with people from all walks of life.
