James Elliott is a psychotherapist and resilience coach. Using his 14 years in the British Army’s Airborne Forces developing skills in resilience to empower people to tackle a variety of challenges, he works with people ranging from professional athletes to politicians.

A sense of identity is crucial to help you manage the next stage of your life, even better if what you enjoy doing helps benefit your community. In his book, Think Yourself Resilient: Harness Your Emotions. Build Your Confidence. Transform Your Life he breaks resilience down into different pillars, looking at confidence, identity, goals, relationships and physical health.
