Mr James Lloyd
CBT Psychotherapist
“As a CBT, EMDR, and IFS therapist with over a decade of experience, I help clients overcome anxiety, trauma, and stress. My approach integrates evidence-based practices to build emotional resilience, foster personal growth, and improve well-being. I am also an accredited practitioner and co-author of published research”
About Me
I offer a collaborative space where we can navigate anxiety, trauma, and stress together. Drawing on integrated, evidence-based practices like EMDR, we can gently process difficult memories and experiences. This approach helps you build emotional resilience and find practical strategies for personal growth. It’s ideal for anyone seeking clarity and lasting well-being, ready to transform challenges into strengths.
Approach
Work in sessions moves between focused skills and paced memory work, blending practical steps with reflective exploration so you can feel steadier and more in control. In Cork or online, sessions are structured and collaborative, paced to your needs with clear goals and simple between-session tasks when helpful. I balance gradual processing of difficult memories with cognitive tools to reduce symptoms and shift unhelpful patterns, checking in each time about what feels safe and useful. This approach suits adults seeking steady, practical change.
