About James Harris

BACP-registered psychotherapist in Derby, offering in-person and online support.

James’ story

After a head injury brought his military career to an unexpected close, James went through a personal recovery journey that introduced him to hypnotherapy and long-term therapeutic work.

That experience shaped his mission: help clients move from survival mode to grounded confidence using practical therapy methods.

Since then, James has built businesses, led charity work, and focused his professional life on helping people recover from pressure, trauma and anxiety patterns.

Book

James is the author of Anything Is Possible.

The gripping story follows James Harris through a life-altering traumatic brain injury that ended his military career, and the long recovery journey that rebuilt his life through mindset, resilience and self-belief. Told he might never read, write or work again, he chose an alternative path — eventually writing, editing and publishing this book, trekking to Everest Base Camp, and transforming major personal setbacks into purpose.

This deeply emotive journey aims to inspire others to see that, with the right mindset and support, truly anything is possible.
