About Me

Hi, I’m James.

I’m a qualified counsellor and coach based in Melbourne, and a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association.

I’m drawn to this work because I love seeing people become clearer, more confident and more fully themselves. Sometimes that means helping someone through a difficult period. At other times, it means helping them recognise that they want more from life - and supporting them to create it.

My style is warm, practical and conversational. I bring curiosity, compassion and honesty to our work, along with a belief that people are capable of meaningful change.

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked across teaching, disability support and gardening. These experiences have given me an appreciation for different people, different lives and the many ways we find meaning, connection and purpose.

Why Forest & Flow?

Forest represents strength, stability and being firmly rooted in yourself.

Flow represents movement, flexibility and the ability to respond to life as it changes.

We need both - the inner stability to know who we are and the flexibility to keep growing.

I work with clients in person in Richmond and online across Australia.
