The Mental Switch

Our passion is to help clients with Solutions Based Processes.

We listen to your story.
We help you understand your past.
Together we take the best of your past, the best of you today to create the best of you tomorrow.

Our programs and sessions are based on two levels.

1. The theory of Dr Sarah McKay, Australian Neuroscientist which combines Top Down (Brain), Bottom Up (Biology/Body) and Outside In (External Influence) when helping you. Connecting all three delivers you a formula to access the mighty power of your brain.

2. The Strength Based Approach developed by Professor Dennis Saleebey, Charles Ramp and Ann Weich all from the University of Kansas. We find your strength. We use your strength. We expand your strength.

You will never hear me ask you "what is wrong"

I will ask you "what you want".

Jumbled, stable, limitlessness.

Today more than ever, we all need support for so many different reasons. Our lives are fast, complicated and stressful. 

We are seeing an increase in kids with ADHD. Bullying is rife at schools and the trauma created can last a lifetime. Kids worrying about being as popular or as good as everyone else is a major concern. 

One big issue we are seeing more and more of is Parental Burnout. The symptoms include exhaustion from the parental role, overload, a loss of pleasure from parenting, stress, and emotional distancing from one’s children.
It is heartbreaking to see this happening, however, there are many processes and changes you can make to improve your health and well-being.

We are a company that utilises a Strengths-based approach which was developed by Professor Dennis Saleebey, Charles Rapp, and Ann Weick all from the University of Kansas. 

  • Our strength is communication, listening and intuition. 
  • We are also qualified Resilience First Aid Instructors. 
  • A diagrammatic demonstration of what we achieve. 

Jumbled, stable, limitlessness.

The Mental Switch is a philosophy, a state of mind.

Through programs or one-on-one coaching with James Clark, children develop learned habits and techniques to overcome anxiety, loneliness, insecurity, and doubt.

We explore the benefits of communication, counselling, mindfulness, breathing techniques and more to restore confidence, achieve inner calm, and navigate everyday challenges.

Our strength is communication, listening and intuition.

Clients present with ADHD, trauma, bullying, excessive screen time, friendship issues, negative behaviours, anxiety, and the effects of generational parenting.

We are not psychologists nor counsellors, although we do utilise some the methodologies within these professions.

The sports side of the business assists those who are working towards, close to or are at the Elite status. More information can be found in this section of the site.

What is The Mental Switch?

The Mental Switch is for anyone, but we work primarily with children who are dealing with:

The Mental Switch with James Clark.

With over 25 years’ experience in coaching and mentoring we have helped children re-build their self-esteem, belief, confidence, leading to very high levels of resilience 

I create a safe space for kids to speak freely, and we work together to develop the tools they need to regain control of who they want to be. 

Upcoming Programs.

Through our TMS Kids programs and one-on-one coaching, we teach your child to switch on their internal confidence button at will.
They will learn mental tools to maintain an inner calm and deal with whatever is thrown at them.
Consequently, the world will open up for them to experience a series of positive events that they never thought possible.
