Welcome. If you’re here, you’re ready to face your anxiety and other challenges with both determination and guidance.
I offer you a gentle hand with strong support.
I’m James Finnegan, an anxiety specialist dedicated to guiding you through the complexities of anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, low self-esteem, family/relationship issues, low self-confidence and addiction. My approach combines deep empathy with practical strategies, creating a space where meaningful change is not only possible but achievable.
As Freud famously said, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” While he may have been talking about the importance of not overcomplicating things, the underlying message resonates: simplicity and clarity can be powerful tools in understanding ourselves. My aim is to help you cut through the noise and address the core issues affecting your well-being with straightforward, effective solutions.
I’m currently completing a PhD at Warwick University, where my doctoral research on the emotional experience of loneliness provides additional depth to my practice. This research ensures that our work together is informed by the latest psychological insights, while still maintaining a practical focus on your specific needs.
Therapy with me is about more than just symptom management; it’s about creating a supportive environment where you feel empowered to face your challenges directly. Together, we’ll work on building resilience, boosting self-confidence, and navigating family dynamics with clarity and strength.
If you’re ready to tackle your anxiety and other concerns with a blend of kindness, insight, and a touch of challenge, I’m here to support you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
