About Me
Hi, I'm James. I've spent most of my career sitting with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives through grief, through cancer, through the kind of pain that doesn't have easy words. That work has shaped everything about how I show up as a therapist.
For many years I was Counselling Lead at Big C, Norfolk's cancer support charity managing the service, supervising a team of counsellors, and holding my own caseload. I now work in private practice, and I also deliver training to the NHS, which I genuinely love. I'm a BACP registered member with a BSc (Hons) in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling, an Advanced Certificate in Bereavement and Loss, and a Diploma in Relationship and Couples Counselling.
When I'm not working you'll find me in the garden, on a yoga mat, or out walking with my dog. Those things keep me grounded and I think a grounded therapist makes for better therapy.
Approach
Starting therapy can feel daunting, so let me tell you what to expect. Before we begin, I offer a free 30-minute telephone or video call just a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we can get a feel for each other and you can ask anything you want. At the end of it, we can decide together whether working together feels right.
When we do start, I'll take time in those first sessions to really understand you not just what's brought you to therapy, but who you are, what matters to you, and what you're hoping for. I work integratively, which means I don't follow a rigid script. I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on what I think will actually help you whether that's exploring patterns from your past, making sense of what's happening now, or finding new ways to move forward.
What stays the same with everyone I work with is the relationship itself. I'll be open, honest, and genuinely curious about your experience. You won't be judged here. I work online, which means you can access sessions from wherever you feel most comfortable many people find that makes it easier to open up.
I offer both short-term focused work and longer-term support, and sessions are 50 minutes. We'll always work at a pace that feels right for you.
