Mr James Hawes

Psychotherapist

Experienced psychotherapist working with Men, women, couples, teenagers and families. Author of 'The Secret Lives of Men.

About Me

As an experienced psychotherapist, I offer a warm, collaborative space for individuals, couples, teenagers, and families. I understand the diverse challenges life brings, from personal struggles to relationship complexities. My work, including authoring 'The Secret Lives of Men', offers unique insights into men's experiences. This deeper understanding helps me connect with all clients, guiding them to explore feelings and strengthen communication. Together, we can find clear paths forward.

Approach

Across adult, adolescent and family work, my focus is on uncovering small, recurring patterns that quietly steer feelings and relationships. In Nottingham I see clients in English, usually face-to-face, keeping a steady pace that balances reflection with practical steps between sessions—brief tasks, notes or check-ins to test new ways of relating. Sessions mix gentle challenge with clear boundaries: noticing shame or anger, naming unspoken rules, then practising different responses with partners or parents. This way of working suits people ready for honest change.
