You might be navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, or a life transition that has left you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted. Perhaps you appear to be coping on the outside but feel disconnected, numb, or unsure of how to move forward. You're looking for a safe, supportive space to make sense of your experiences, to feel heard and understood, and to rediscover clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. You want to make changes—but in a way that feels manageable and grounded in your own pace and process.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger issues, shame, relationships, addiction problems and more, then you will no doubt find psychotherapy and counselling very helpful. If you are struggling with any of these problems, then I know the isolating pain they can cause, but I have seen depression turn to joy, despair into hope and self-hatred into self-love. It is very important that you feel safe and comfortable and that is why I offer a £25 first session (initial assessment) so you can see if I am right for you

Hi I am James and my aim is to help you actually live and enjoy life. I have over twelve years of successful counselling experience. I know its a big step, it takes courage but at certain times in our life we need help. I also use EMDR therapy which is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies. I have worked with clients to change a wide range of difficulties. Such as anxiety, depression, anger, grief, OCD, relationships issues and trauma.

Clients who work with me tend to feel stuck, anxious, or uncertain in their relationships. They are confident in other areas of life, yet when it comes to love - dating, long-term partnerships, or breakups - they find themselves caught in doubt, fear, and frustration. For individuals, this can look like replaying past relationship patterns, blaming themselves after heartbreak, or wondering if childhood experiences, career focus, or even habits like porn use are getting in the way. Some struggle with trust, jealousy, or believing that they’re “the problem” in the relationship.

Mental health issues or traumas that have happened earlier in life can often impact those relationships and cause stress.

So can focusing on other effects like working with the family or the children.

I am very mindful of how difficult finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with can be and I offer a calm and compassionate approach, while we gain an understanding of your concerns. My primary therapeutic method is ‘psychodynamic’ but I draw on a variety of ‘models’ to help in whichever way is appropriate: These may include CBT or EFT. Once we have revealed, talked-through and understood the root causes of your concerns we can examine ways of dealing with the issues and moving forward. This is a very much a joint effort where we work together to help you through the troublesome episode and out the other side.

Mens mental health is worryingly under-represented, misunderstood, and often just ignored. I want to support as many men as I can, help to nurture their inner monologue and support them in finally being able to be open and honest about what it's like being them. A supportive presence can be enough to change your whole perspective. Our young men also have it harder than ever before, and with the confusing and conflicting messages that bombard them, it's no wonder they can often feel lost and unsure of how they feel or how to express how they feel. I've dedicated my therapeutic work to men, and I work with all ages.

Male Counsellors

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
