Jim Fizdale
COUPLES THERAPIST
(he/him)
Jim is a Certified Practising Counsellor with a Graduate Diploma in Counselling, as
well as a bachelor’s degree in social science and a master’s degree in business.
Jim works with heterosexual and same-sex couples who experience distress in their
relationship, and who want to build a stronger, more secure connection.
Jim uses Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, an evidence-based approach that
uncovers the underlying fears and longings that drive each partner’s behaviour and
responses, and gets to the heart of the bond between partners. This careful, deep
and safe method helps each partner remain true to their own experiences, whilst at
the same time, encourages new, more secure and resilient ways to share and
connect.
Jim has a wide range of life experience he brings to his therapy clients. He is a
parent, grandparent and husband, and has been a professional dancer, veterinary
nurse, successful martial arts teacher and award-winning international leadership
educator and coach.
