I offer you an empathic and listening ear, we may not be able to change the situation but by working together we will find a way forward that feels right for you.

It is natural to feel unsure or nervous about counselling if you are reading this you have taken the first step to looking after you. There are moments in our lives when we feel lost and overwhelmed. It is OK, to not to be OK. My approach is client centred tailored to your individual needs, I am an Integrative counsellor, you may wonder what that means? By using a combination of disciplines described below we explore the reason for you attending therapy along with the outcome you wish to achieve.

We all experience difficulties and challenges at some point in our lives which can leave us feeling anxious, stressed and worried. We all have past experiences that can still affect us in the here and now. Trying to make sense of these issues and experiences and trying to find our place in the world can often feel overwhelming and frightening, especially if we believe that we are the only ones feeling this way. Effective counselling can give you the time and space you need to help you to explore and begin to make sense of the issues affecting your life and allow you to focus on the changes you may want to make.

Hello,my name is James Ward and I offer immediate and accessible face to face counselling and phone and zoom sessions due to my level of flexibility for appointment times each week. I am an intergrative Counsellor based in the city centre area of Liverpool behind the pen factory and the Everyman Theatre on Hope Street Intergrating both person centered counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy ( CBT ) . I do Monday mornings,afternoons and evening appointments Tuesday afternoons into the evening, Wednesday afternoon and evenings, Thursday afternoon and into the evenings, Friday afternoon and evenings as well as weekends.

I aim to offer a professional yet down to earth relationship in which you can explore your personal difficulties whatever they may be. Sessions are offered weekly or fortnightly, usually in an open ended way until you're feeling more like yourself again. Some people come for a few sessions, some for a few months and others decide to come longer term. Many people are now starting to use therapy over time and re-access support at times when it is needed most with someone who they trust to know them and their life well. I take a firm stance on challenging stigma surrounding mental health.

We all experience difficulties in life if you’re feeling overwhelmed, lost, anxious or depressed, I can help. I provide a safe, accepting and non-judgemental space where you can talk about issues that you are facing. Events or triggers can cause difficult feelings. I can help you unpick, understand and manage them so that they don’t overwhelm you. I am currently working Face to Face, Telephone, FaceTime, WhatsApp Video or Skype/Zoom. I am a MBACP Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist. BACP is my governing body, I adhere to its ethical guidelines and hold myself to the highest professionals standards.

I believe the relationship between the client and counsellor is hugely important. I am a warm and approachable person, focused on putting you at ease. At times in life, it can feel that people don't understand us, like we are being judged for the way we feel. It can be helpful to communicate these thoughts and emotions to gain a clarity and understanding to help you find a more fulfilling way of living. From personal experience, I understand that counselling can help make profound changes in their lives and relationships. These changes happen through a greater understanding and acceptance of ourselves.

You might be seeking support for many reasons, such as anxiety, addictions, loss of direction, self harm, identity issues, relationship difficulties or trauma. I will create the conditions to help you feel deeply listened to and explore what ever brought you into therapy. These basic conditions will often make you feel accepted, more confident in your judgements and less afraid of expressing your thoughts and emotions. From that place you can start to deeply explore and learn about who you are and undergo your personal journey of healing and transformation

It's hard to 'tick box' problems. Problems often do not fit into easy categories as each person has their own individual history and way of being, and so difficulties emerge in a unique way to the individual. For example, depression or anxiety might be completely normal reactions to a difficult situation, but it might seem that people are saying "oh, you've got depression" as if it is a cold and it's your fault. Anxious about contacting me? I would encourage you not to be too anxious about making contact regarding counselling or psychotherapy. Feeling anxious is a normal aspect of therapy, especially at first. I was anxious too.

Whatever the reason that brings you here, therapy can help. I see therapy as a spirited working relationship that can support you in the work you need to do. I work with individuals and couples/partners. Therapy is hopeful and helpful and it can change how you feel and how you live.

Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed or at a point in life where you know you need to make a change? Do you need a safe space to explore how you are really feeling with no judgement and an unbiased perspective? Do you need space to clarify your thoughts and feelings?

My practice as a therapist covers Person centred counseling and CBT. PCC helps you to look at how your feeling, may impact on your day today experiences. CBT helps you to track your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Both models help you to gain control and learn new skills to reinforce change. They Futher help you to set goals and with the help of mindfulness, helps you to forge new pathways. Mindfulness helps you to make changes in the present moment, addiction, phobias, anxiety and depression, OCD. Therapy is always about what you would like to change in the future. PCC and CBT help you to see your new change and what fits.

We all experience difficult times in our lives, suffering anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship issues, grief, bereavement, physical illness, emotional/physical abuse, low mood, and low motivation, to name just a few of the reasons people come to therapy. At times we will feel like we don’t want to ‘burden’ people with how we feel so we try to push through and carry on, we try to pretend all is ok, we try and cope by putting on a smile and a brave face, often we simply find we are unable to move forward and feel stuck.

As an integrative practitioner. I work from a person centred base, although additional training allows for me to draw on different tools and models depending on your needs. This allows for clients to reflect on what is happening to them and by making their own choices, consider alternative ways of doing things. I use psychological theory and research in therapeutic work to help clients with a variety of problems. These problems can include difficult life issues and mental health conditions. I have worked with clients across all ages, from 7yrs upward and beyond retirement, offering a service which is welcoming to all backgrounds.
