Hello, my name is James.
Sometimes life can feel uncertain, overwhelming, painful or isolating. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to face it alone.
Chestnut Counselling offers a confidential, empathetic space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions safely, without judgement, and at a pace that feels right for you. Many clients seek therapy to better understand themselves, navigate life’s challenges, or find relief from anxiety, stress, or low mood. Whatever your reasons, counselling can support you in gaining deeper clarity, building self-awareness, and moving towards a more fulfilling life.
As an experienced humanistic counsellor, I take a holistic, client-led approach, working collaboratively with you to explore whatever challenges you might be facing. I am BACP-registered, fully insured, DBS checked, and dedicated to providing an ethical, professional service.
Choosing the right counsellor ‘for you’ is very important. I offer a free, no-obligation one-hour consultation so we can explore your therapeutic aims and see how comfortable you feel working with me. Counselling is a personal journey in which feeling supported is key. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to hear from you.
