Why this page
If you're a man in Littlebourne
Littlebourne is a small village just east of Canterbury. Men I work with from here often carry the same range of stories as men anywhere, and need somewhere private, outside the village, to talk about them.
Local life
Littlebourne and the pressures behind the surface
Littlebourne is close-knit and rural. Privacy and discretion matter when everyone is two doors down.
What men bring
What men in this area most often come with
Most of the work from villages like Littlebourne is on long-standing patterns, drinking, anger, withdrawn intimacy, and childhood stories never properly faced.
The work I do covers trauma recovery, childhood trauma, childhood sexual abuse, addiction recovery (alcohol, porn, gambling, compulsive behaviour), anger, shame, intimacy difficulties, and the slow erosion of self-worth that so often sits underneath all of it.
How this work helps
How trauma-informed coaching helps
Trauma-informed coaching is different from generic life coaching. It isn't about goals on a whiteboard or surface-level motivation. It's about meeting the parts of you that have been protecting you for years, and slowly, carefully, helping them stand down.
The work is steady, honest and paced. You won't be asked to re-live your worst moments. You will be offered a relationship in which you can finally say the things you've never said and start to feel like a man you actually recognise.
Why local matters
Why local support matters for men in Littlebourne
Living in or around Littlebourne often means everyone knows everyone, which is one of the reasons online, off-circle coaching works so well. The relationship is consistent, confidential, and rooted in the same region. Online trauma-informed coaching for men with Jaymes Cadby.
Working with Jaymes
Working with Jaymes
I'm Jaymes Cadby. I work from lived experience as well as professional training, recovery, identity work, and a long relationship with the things men most often carry in silence. I take a small number of one-to-one clients at a time so the work can go properly deep.
The clearest first step is a free 20-minute discovery call. You can read more about me on the about page, see how the main one-to-one programme works on Return To You, or look at Who I Help to see if this is a fit.

Frequently asked
Common questions
Can I work with a trauma coach in Littlebourne?
Yes. I work with men from Littlebourne and across East Kent. Most sessions happen online, which keeps things private, flexible and consistent. In-person sessions in Canterbury and the surrounding area are available by arrangement.
Do you offer online coaching in Littlebourne?
Online coaching is the way most clients work with me, it lets us go deeper, sooner, without the friction of travel. You'll need a private space, a stable connection, and an hour you won't be interrupted in.
Do I need a referral or a diagnosis?
No. Coaching is not therapy and doesn't require a GP referral or a diagnosis. If you're in active crisis or need clinical treatment for severe mental illness, I'll be honest about that and help you find the right support.
How much does coaching cost?
Pricing depends on the programme. The Return To You programme is my main one-to-one container. The clearest first step is a free 20-minute discovery call, no pressure, no script, just an honest conversation about whether the work is a fit.
Is coaching confidential?
Yes. Everything you bring is confidential between us, with the standard exceptions around immediate risk to life. Online sessions mean nobody you know sees you walk in or out of anywhere.
Can coaching help with childhood trauma?
Yes, including the experiences that men most often haven't spoken about: emotional neglect, an unsafe parent, physical or sexual abuse. Trauma-informed coaching doesn't rush this work and doesn't make you re-live it; we work at the pace your nervous system can handle.
Can coaching help with addiction recovery?
Yes. I work with men whose recovery from alcohol, drugs, porn, gambling or compulsive behaviour needs the deeper, identity-level work that twelve-step rooms and short-term treatment often leave untouched.
Can coaching help with confidence and self-worth?
Yes, but usually as a by-product, not the goal. Most men I work with arrive wanting confidence and discover the real work is underneath it: making peace with the parts of themselves they've spent a lifetime trying to outrun.
