About Alex James

Hi, I'm Alex James and welcome to my website.

I've worked for over forty years supporting individuals and families and working towards improving education, information and facilities around dying death and bereavement.

When I reflect on the years that I have spent and personal journeys that I have been privileged to be part of, I have two things to say...

The first is that I feel that whenever I publicise my work or present a training or speech, I don't simply bring my learned knowledge but also the personal experiences of every person that I have ever worked with who has shared their story / been generous in allowing me a true insight to their life and death.

The second, My goal, is and always has been to improve facilities care and support but above all to help those wishing to support others to gain more understanding of their journey and to be less afraid of being part of it.

I have a wealth of experience. I have worked throughout the UK, in Europe, the USA and Caribbean. I have developed services, trained and supported professionals including NHS, Emergency Services, Travel providers, Journalists/media including TV and Radio.

I've been described as innovative and disruptive and I'm proud to be both because my mission is to help. Help those who find themselves in the alien landscape of grief and loss to find words so that others might understand, and those who wish to support them, to gain greater insight so that they can find ways of helping. Listening and communicating.

This website was way ahead of its time with podcasts and a magazine and self help. There were postbags, interviews and even a kitchen. I always felt there would be a place for bereavement TV. In those early days, as now, I wanted to give loss a voice. That is so important, as none of us will escape it.

As my journey moved on, I learned more and moved into many areas of work, including critical incident.

Now I offer my expertise, as we might call it, through public speaking, training and consulting.

If you would like to know more about any of my work please get in touch with me personally via my social media links.

Thanks
Alex James
