Why are you here?

You're overwhelmed, you probably don't want to admit it? Maybe you haven't even told anyone? Have you told yourself you're stronger than this?

It's like you're stuck in fog, the answers are just out of sight.

It might be you've got too many balls in the air, or you're facing a big decision and don't know which way to turn. Maybe you don't even know what the options are.

You've probably been trying to think your way out of it for a while, maybe it's even keeping you awake at night.

I've been in the fog myself, countless times. I created Breathing Room partly because it's something I've needed myself, and partly because this is my gift and it should be shared with whoever needs it.

What is this?

Breathing Room is exactly that, it's breathing room, for you. It's not coaching or therapy. Whether you've tried some sort of relaxation techniques, or talking through your situation with family or friends, you're still finding yourself in the fog.

The world is moving faster and it's becoming rare that anyone really, truly, properly listens. That's exactly what I do. I listen, intently. That on its own tends to make it feel like a great weight has been lifted, and that's half the magic.

I don't judge. I don't offer advice, or solutions. I don't try to tell you what to do. I'll ask questions that help you unravel the situation. I give you the attention and space you need so you can find your own answer.

People often say 'I don't know why I'm telling you all this'. That's the moment their nervous system has let go. They feel safe enough that things start to untangle, and the answer they've been carrying surfaces.

Allow 90 minutes, you'll probably need less. Before we part company you'll know your next step and when you'll take it.

Who is this for?

First — who this ISN'T for:

• Anyone in crisis — call the Samaritans 116 123
• Anyone looking for clinical or therapeutic care
• Anyone needing deep trauma processing
• Anyone wanting to be told what to do

Who this is for:

• You've been circling a big decision
• You're overwhelmingly busy
• You feel like you're always chasing your tail
• You need someone that really listens

Who am I?

Why no smile? If you wanted cheering up you'd be watching comedy. You're here because you need someone to take you seriously.

I'm JC. For 30 years, people have turned to me.

Strangers, family, friends, when they needed to be truly heard, they found me.

A friend on the edge of the darkness, still here and thriving. My sister through cancer treatment needed the mindset to carry her through. Countless strangers that told me "I've never told anyone that before" or "I'm sorry I don't know why I'm sharing all this with you, I've only just met you".

I think it came from watching my Mum do the same, and I think to see me now she'd say I was just paying attention.

Where + When do we meet?

We talk, voice, no video. It's much easier to feel relaxed and open up when you're not being stared at. If you're near Pickering in North Yorkshire we can meet, in nature, and walk side by side.

We'll talk at a time that fits you. When you book just be sure to provide your email so I can arrange it with you.

You're ready

Book your session because you don't have to carry all of this alone anymore. There's no forms, no questionnaire, no commitment beyond the session itself. Come when something needs looking at. Come back if you need to.
