Hi there! I am credentialed in the UK with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion but without judgement. I have a client led and person centred approach that underpins my practice. Other therapeutic approaches that I work with are Psychodynamic, Humanistic, CBT and Transactional Analysis (TA). TA has proven to be very helpful in providing people with a way to understand themselves better. Working with these models enables clients to be supported to find answers within themselves. I will tailor our therapy to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking time to look at our situation and our part within it can feel daunting and scary if we do it alone. I see therapy as a collaboration between myself and the person I am supporting. I would be pleased to go with you on your journey, wherever that may lead.

Having worked with James for a good few months now I can say with confidence he knows his stuff. He’s very sincere and you can tell he really cares about what’s being discussed. He’s always on time and very flexible to suit your needs. Only good things to say, would highly recommend.

James is very careful and considerate in his approach, comes prepared to move the therapy forwards but lets me focus on my needs in each session.
