Hello, I'm James, a really friendly qualified and accredited Counsellor born and raised in Yorkshire.

I offer you the space to work at your own pace, to truly hear what it is that you are saying, to be someone who walks alongside you, gently checking meaning and guiding you to your own revelations, learning and understanding. I believe that figuring things out this way is the most empowering and lasting way to remove your roadblocks. In a sense, you already hold the answers… we just need to figure them out together.

And so it is my hope that we can build and share in a therapeutic relationship that offers us the opportunity to not only work with your challenges, but also celebrate your victories. Both tears and smiles are welcome here.

I selected my approach to Counselling for being rooted in the Humanistic traditions - heart-led human values, with a leaning towards asking "why", and exploring a deeper understanding of ourselves. What I bring to our Counselling sessions together is what I believe and trust in for myself.

I’m hugely passionate about providing 1:1 empathic space and hold a Distinction in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy. The very best of myself is what I give to Counselling and the very best of myself is what I offer to you.

As human beings, none of us are identical, and we all have a unique and beautiful story to tell... or to discover. Whether you choose to work with me online or in person, I offer a cosy, welcoming, friendly space that is free of judgement for us to gently explore what’s holding you back or keeping you down.

Above all, I believe in YOU!

With warmth,

James
