Hello, my name is James, and I am a dedicated Integrative Counsellor based in the UK. My therapeutic approach is multifaceted, incorporating Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Transactional Analysis to provide a holistic treatment experience. In addition, I specialise as a Somatic Trauma Practitioner, offering a unique perspective on trauma-informed care.
With over 13 years of professional experience in the treatment sector, I have developed a profound expertise in addressing alcoholism and addiction. My commitment extends to the community, where I have substantial experience working with a local charity. There, I offer counselling services to young individuals aged 11 to 25, helping them navigate through challenges such as self-harm, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and depression.
My practice is rooted in compassion and understanding, aiming to empower my clients towards healing and self-discovery.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

He is a very good therapist, listened to my issues, understood my issues, and his recommendations were enlightening to me
A very good therapist who listens well, which can be hard to find. I highly recommend.
Great help over the last few months. Been very happy and I enjoy our talks. I'm sober for 14 weeks.
Very friendly and competent. Always having the patience to understand all problems. Gives valuable indications and has great ideas. We have made in a few sessions more progress than what I've done in 10 years of therapy with other therapists. Really, really great experience, I can only recommend him to anyone with a difficult case.
James has been great and patient with me. He's very professional and listens well. His advice is really good as it simplifies the problems and is easy to follow. I'll do my best to keep working to get better. Thanks a bunch
It’s been great to talk to somebody that has been through what I am going through. No judgment and a truly well balanced approach to getting well. Could not recommend him more
James has been helpful from day one, have already met with him 3 times and felt that he helped me alot. He LISTENS, does NOT judge, and most importantly helps provide a safe space for you. I would definitely recommend him to others.
