Hi, I’m James, and Healing Hearts is my private counselling practice that I started in Jan 2020.  I am a qualified and registered counsellor with more than 25-years’ experience working in various pastoral care, mentoring, and counselling settings with people of all ages and from all walks of life.    My desire in counselling is to listen to and work with my clients to help them achieve the things that are most important to them. To help them get to that place where they will be able to fulfil their true potential in life, and build on their relationships with those around them.     It is my endeavour to provide an environment where couples, or individuals, can move forward holistically to search the deeper questions and issues that may be troubling them. To explore avenues that can lead them to a place of healing and greater success in their life and personal relationships and hopefully discover greater intimacy with those they care about.   My counselling sessions usually run for two hours on a fortnightly basis, especially for couples counselling.  Based on experience and client feedback, I feel this allows for deeper work to happen.  However, shorter sessions can be negotiated on request as some clients prefer 1-hourly sessions once a week, usually this would be for single clients not couples.   While sessions are usually run at Para Vista, home visits may be possible on request.
