Xenia James

Registered Counselor

“An experienced, compassionate and dedicated therapist. I have worked with Age UK and St Elizabeth Hospice.”

About Me

As a compassionate and dedicated therapist, I help individuals navigate significant life changes. My experience with Age UK and St Elizabeth Hospice brings unique insight. I deeply understand concerns around ageing, illness, and loss. I offer a warm, confidential space to explore your feelings openly. If you are seeking a supportive presence during difficult transitions, you will find understanding. My aim is to help you find clarity and connect with your inner strength.

Approach

Helping people through later-life changes, health shifts and bereavement, I guide sessions that balance attentive listening with practical steps to ease daily strain. I see adults in Ipswich and across Suffolk, offering in-person and online work in English, paced to your needs and energy. We make sense of loss, address mood and control worries, and gently adapt to cognitive or physical changes using reflective dialogue and manageable tasks between meetings. This way of working suits those seeking steady, respectful support through change.
