Counselling in Kendal
Michael James
Psychotherapist, MA, MBACP
Verified
I’m an Integrative Relational Psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience. The essence of my practice is 'person-centred' in that I am always led by the client's needs as presented to me. In this way 'therapy' is always grounded in the trans-formative power of trusting and collaborative relationships. Our work together should then stand as an open invitation to go beyond our sense of limitation and to help establish a greater sense of well-being, meaningful identity and purpose.

Counselling is very normal, and completely transformational at the same time. I offer you a safe, confidential space to be you. Here we can explore what is troubling you, what's working for you and what isn't; who you are, and what you want out of life. Give yourself the time to simply sit down, breathe and talk freely. I am a warm, thoughtful, sensitive, and empathic therapist, and I bring compassion, intuition, creativity, humour, and an eye for life’s details into my practice. Alongside my formal training I draw from a broad life experience including motherhood, travel, a career in cake design, and my own therapeutic journey.

Counsellor, MBACP

Sometimes life is tough and we find ourselves struggling to make sense of things which can be a lonely and confusing experience. I believe that counselling can benefit anyone who has become tired of walking along a trodden path. That path can feel endless with a willingness to persist for longer than we would like. A warm welcome is assured. I am easily accessible in Kendal town centre with the benefit of private parking for the duration of our sessions should you wish to use it. I am ready to come on your journey as your therapeutic companion and we can tackle the obstacles together until we reach your more peaceful destination.

Counsellor, MBACP

I qualified as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor in England after moving from Romania. Uprooting your life and starting from scratch, reinventing yourself is not easy, but it also provides fantastic opportunities for growth. From my humble beginnings, living in fear under a brutal dictatorship regime, I now feel so proud and privileged to work in the field of Psychotherapy. Life has brought me many riches, but none as great as those which my clients and supervisees bring every day in my counselling room. Being in a position where I can empower others to improve their relationship with self and others is a true gift.

There are times in all our lives when life can feel full of difficulty and struggle, and the challenges seem too great. Or sometimes we simply feel that we’ve lost our way, our hope or our peace. Counselling is a talking therapy that offers a safe space in an empathic non-judgmental environment where you can process what is going on for you; and together we explore what you need to bring healing, freedom or a way forward.

People with specific conditions such as Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic, Generalised Anxiety, and Depression can be helped by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This is a practical, short term approach, designed to focus on problems of everyday living, whilst acknowledging the effects of events from the past.

What makes me unique is the eclectic learning experiences I have had on my way to becoming a psychotherapist in my 50's. So I have a big tool box and draw on many different approaches to enable you to make sense of your current issues in the light of your past experiences so that you have more freedom to make changes and choose the life course you really want. I am trauma informed, developmentally minded and brain based, but I also account for the power of the human spirit to overcome the past and to live fulfilled and abundant lives.

You may be wondering how Psychotherapy will help you. However, research has found this to be true. Seated in a safe place with an understanding and informed Psychotherapist can be your first step towards healing and resolution. My approach to Psychotherapy is flexible, caring and compassionate with an aim towards a more understanding relationship with yourself and others. Also, you will never be viewed as a "problem to be fixed", but as a unique person with your own difficulties and obstacles to overcome.
