James Hartley

Therapy for High-Achieving Professionals

If you’re seeking support for difficulties affecting your well-being and success, contact me for a free 20-minute consultation to explore how I can help.

As a high-achieving professional, your ambition knows no bounds. Yet, in your pursuit of excellence, you might feel there's something holding you back from reaching your full potential, or it could be that more personal issues are causing you distress.

You might worry that embracing vulnerability and addressing your challenges will mean sacrificing your identity or high ideals, and could lead to feelings of inadequacy. While tackling these difficulties can bring some short-term discomfort, in my experience, it ultimately enhances your well-being and brings you closer to the future you envision.

What sets my practice apart is the combination of representing Great Britain across the world as an elite athlete, experiencing PTSD after a career-ending accident, and the six years of clinical training and nine years of clinical experience that followed to become an expert therapist.

My career as a registered and professional counsellor, psychotherapist, and accredited mindfulness teacher has seen me work with individuals across the NHS, charity, private, and corporate sectors.

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

Maybe you suffer from:

• Imposter syndrome

• Making poor health choices in pursuit of career goals

• Feeling unfulfilled despite significant accomplishments

• Utilising past trauma as motivation for success, but now finding it is haunting you

• Struggling to form meaningful relationships

• Experiencing stress, burnout, anxiety, panic, low mood, loss, or other mental health challenges affecting your life and career

My Approach

Drawing from my experience as an elite athlete and a professional therapist, I bring a unique perspective that combines mental resilience, compassionate discipline, 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.

Testimonials

– Michael, Barrister
