Meet the team
James has built teams, divisions, and businesses in recruitment over the last 16 years. Always operating in niche sectors and having an international focus. He's now a CEO, Investor, and Board Advisor for some of the most exciting businesses across the UK, alongside his commitment to driving Take A Seat People forward.

As one of the founders of Take a Seat, good mental health is something Chris is passionate about. After spending years in the corporate world he wanted the chance to do something that could make a real difference. Having experienced the benefits of therapy, he wished he hadn’t waited so long to do it and wanted to ‘bring the joy’ to everyone else. He is now on a mission to ensure therapy is not only accessible but that therapists are fully supported on their journey. When he isn’t trying to ‘change the therapy world’ he can be found walking his two Border Terriers, watching Liverpool FC or binging a Netflix boxset.
All our Integrative therapists work to the highest ethical standards and are members of a relevant governing body. Able to support clients in more open-ended therapy by utilising a range of modalities to suit the clients’ needs.

Having worked in contact centre recruitment previously, Rachel knew that she wanted to continue her work in the recruitment sector. When the opportunity with Take A Seat became available she knew she couldn’t pass up on this offer. Not only could she improve her skills working alongside some great coaches and colleagues, but she also could work in an industry which strives towards making therapy accessible for all which is a huge passion of hers.
Megan joined Take A Seat after deciding that Nursing was not the right role for her. She wanted to stay in a role that is big on care and mental health so Take A Seat was the perfect opportunity. After working as a nurse through covid and with personal experience she knows first-hand how important supporting your mental health is and she believes in Take A Seat's mission to make therapy more accessible.
Outside the office Megan loves reading and socialising with friends over food.
Isaac has recently joined the Take a Seat team, with a previous job in the hospitality sector and now wanting a fully defined career path in recruitment. He found that Take a Seat was the perfect opportunity to carry out his goal, there was no debate in his mind that there was any other company that he would love to work for. Isaac is extremely enthusiastic about mental health and was excited at the thought of being able to work with some of the best people in the business.
Outside of recruitment Isaac enjoys playing and watching football, walking and trying new food places. Isaac tries to lead a sociable lifestyle and loves going out with friends on weekends.
