“

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.

” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dr James Hawkins specializes in both the treatment of psychological difficulties and in helping people enhance their health and wellbeing.

James is a medical doctor with extensive training in psychotherapy, and both conventional and complementary medicine. He has also lectured widely to health professionals and the general public on self-help techniques. This broad background of skills means that it is often possible to find ways to help even when a problem has proved resistant to previous attempts at therapy.

The key purpose of this blog/website on stress, health and wellbeing is to be helpful. It is written for various overlapping groups of people – clients who have come to see me for therapy, other health professionals, and interested members of the general public. I also write for myself – to explore and clarify my own thoughts and feelings. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
