Hello, I'm James, The Curious Counsellor.
What is my counselling practice about.
Well, YOU.
You are the most important person in your life.
I have 2 main areas I work with people in.
Grief, loss & bereavement including suicide.
And Psycho-dynamic therapy. This is getting to understand the underlying factors that make up 'who you are'. A deeper dive into what makes you, you.
I use a few starting 'tools' which can help us identify your personality and then ask about your complete life history, including your family history.
With all these parts, we search for what you like about yourself and what you would like to change.

I have over 47 years clinical experience in child, adolescent, family and couple art psychotherapy. I work with trauma, mood/adjustment disorder, grief, relationship difficulties. Issues are addressed in a way that bypasses talking. The innate healing potential of your creative self is externalised as thoughts and feelings, which may otherwise remain unexpressed, arise. No previous art experience is necessary - marks and scribbles are of equal value. In this process the unconscious is honoured, so your dream life is important. Through imaginative symbolic expression, unconscious material is explored, clarified and finds meaning.

I provide a safe and inclusive space where you can express yourself authentically, and where you will be held in a non-judgmental and deeply compassionate way. You might be experiencing a significant life event or transition … feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or depressed … a big question or uncertainty might loom over you ... or maybe you have curious body symptoms or dreams. I will support you to uncover the unknown. Working with clients of all genders from teen into late adulthood, although I also specialise in menstrual cycle awareness and rites of passage midwifery.

Most of us experience anxiety and depressive thoughts at some time. Perhaps there is something going on in your life now that is making you question if you can cope. Perhaps it is old stuff bubbling up. Perhaps you have reached the point of numbness. Perhaps you just know it's time to talk to someone because you know it will help to break the silence. I will support you, I will listen and offer a an alternative perspective when you get stuck. I’ll point out when you are being hard on yourself or skipping over achievements. And if you have recurring thoughts or habits you want to change I can help with that too.
