About me

Hi, I’m James Holmes, cofounder of the Hampshire Hypnotherapy and Counselling Centre & Fareham Counselling Centre. Over the past 20 years, my passion has been to help improve people’s lives, and to propel those individuals on a path towards living the most extraordinary life possible.

As one of the U.K.’s thought leaders on belief systems and human potential, I have dedicated years to helping people challenge how they think. The resulting outcome of this is improved health and happiness levels along with better mental well-being and resilience. I believe I can do that for you also.


To try and reach as many people as possible with my unique transformative method, in 2022 I wrote the book ‘How to Overcome the Bully in Your Brain’. I have been thrilled by the reaction to this book, and to watch it not only become a best seller but to be awarded self-help book of the year 2022.

I have a particular interest in helping people overcome whatever it has been in life that is holding them back. This could be anything from addictions, depression and anxiety to their own self-limiting beliefs. If you want your life to be transformed in the shortest imaginable time, and to completely turn your life around, then reach out to me at the contact details on this website. I look forward to meeting you in person.

Until then


Best wishes

James

P.S: Recently I had the pleasure of speaking to a client I had worked with several years ago. This client had suffered from depression for years and had been close to suicide. I worked with him to learn how to manage his thinking and challenge his beliefs, and he began to really flourish and enjoy life far more than he ever had before. As a lovely twist to the story, one day he was driving over a bridge, a bridge which sadly had often been used by people wishing to take their own life. He encountered a young man trying to do just that. He got out of his car, sat with this individual and taught him the techniques that I had passed on to him years before. As a result, this individual, fortunately, chose not to take his life that day and is now getting the help he needs.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Hypnotherapist's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Hypnotherapist to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
