James Hansen
BSc (Hons)
Addiction(s) Counsellor / ADHD Life Coach, Sober Companion
My Philosophy – What I believe.
Amongst many things, I offer a vision of hope to those I work with. I have over 13 years experience in the addictions counselling field. I have studied Addictions Counselling for 6 years at the University of Bath. I am in recovery myself with over 20 years free from substances as well as alcohol.
My son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was younger. It was through his eyes I was able to see I had a lot of similarities. Following this I thought it would be a good idea to see if I too had ADHD. At 37 years young I was diagnosed with ADHD. It was from this I embarked on a journey of coaching others with ADHD. Learning effective ways of managing my own symptoms as well as educating myself I’m able to support others who have been diagnosed with ADHD/ADD or who have the symptoms. I am experienced with supporting those on medication as well as natural ways of managing symptoms.
