About me

I’m a UK based BACP and NCPS Accredited integrative psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience across private practice, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), organisational wellbeing, and complex therapeutic work.

I work with clients experiencing a broad range of difficulties including anxiety, trauma, stress and burnout, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, identity and self esteem concerns, and complex life experiences. Alongside therapy practice, I also deliver wellbeing and psychoeducational training internationally and have worked within clinical leadership roles across national and global services.

My approach is integrative, relational, and psychologically informed, drawing from psychodynamic, humanistic, relational, and solution focused approaches depending on your individual needs. My work is also informed by ongoing specialist training in areas including EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), DBT informed approaches, Compassion Focused Therapy, Gottman informed couples work, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Single Session Therapy approaches.

Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, straightforward, and able to bring clarity to situations that feel emotionally confusing, overwhelming, or stuck. I aim to provide a collaborative and non judgemental space where you feel heard, supported, and encouraged towards meaningful change.

Whether you are looking for focused shorter term support or longer term exploratory therapy, I aim to work in a way that feels thoughtful, grounded, and tailored to your individual needs.

James is a lifesaver.He is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and brilliant.
He has a rare ability to break down walls and help you truly understand behaviour in a way that actually sticks.
He makes you feel comfortable and understood while also giving the other person the space to express their needs.
