James Fairbanks

I have worked with people from 6 to 86 on an incredible variety of issues including at intensive residential treatment centres for over twenty years as a counsellor then a Clinical Manager so I know how effective counselling can help people transform situations that they were literally dying in to living wholesome meaningful lives. Clients consistently discover that underneath the challenges that inspire them to change are maladaptive patterns related to their family of origin (attachment/upbringing issues), issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, mental health, hopelessness, addiction, pain management, poor self-esteem, ineffective thinking patterns, lack of skill dealing with emotions, issues related to sexuality as well as money, and poor lifestyle choices. I have also worked with families as well as couples for over fifteen years who have found this work incredibly valuable.
