I also have a special interest in working with people with psychosis and unusual experiences and much of my pre-training experience was in this area.
We will spend some time getting to know each other to create a safe and relaxed space, to help you talk freely about your experiences. We may talk about what has brought you to therapy, as well as what is important to you and what you would like from the sessions. I will be interested in hearing about various different aspects of your life.

Within my practice I provide a safe, non-judgemental, professional and confidential environment in which you can explore whatever you feel necessary. Through exploring these issues, we can both begin to understand what is happening and why. This process can assist in self-understanding which in-turn boosts self-confidence and compassion. With this knowledge you may then become empowered to make the necessary changes needed in your life to address whatever has been causing the discomfort.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling in their relationships. This includes parents—particularly those raising children with additional needs—as well as adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Many of the people I support are juggling a lot and may feel burnt out, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, and are looking for a space to feel understood and supported.

I am a very experienced and professional therapist with over twelve thousand client contact hours behind me in individual, couples and group work. I feel my experience coupled with my life experiences makes me the person and the therapist I am today. My training in the person-centred approach (three years) and in Transactional Analysis (seven years) together with continuing professional and personal development and supervision give me a strong theoretical and experiential focus to bring to my client work. I work very much in a relational way (research indicates that the therapeutic relationship is key to positive therapy outcomes)

If you find yourself struggling with loneliness, disconnection, or feeling unheard, you’re not alone. Many individuals face challenges navigating life’s transitions: whether it's stepping into adulthood, choosing a career path, or forming relationships. These struggles often stem from a deeper sense of not being able to speak up or express ourselves fully. The voice that connects us to others, that allows us to call out for help or form meaningful bonds, can feel lost in moments of isolation, uncertainty, or self-doubt. If you feel silenced or struggle to express yourself, it can lead to withdraw, disconnect, or let fear take over.

I offer a professional yet down to earth relationship. Having somewhere confidential to discuss things with someone who is unconnected to your life can help give you space to find your way again. Sessions are offered weekly or fortnightly, usually in an open ended way until you're feeling ready to stop. Come for a few sessions, a few months or come longer term. People are now learning how to use therapy over time, re-accessing support at times when it is needed most with someone who they trust to know them and their life well.

I'm James Marquis – Psychology Coach, Registered Hypnotherapist, Integral Eye Movement Therapist, NLP Practitioner, Trauma informed.
I completed Psychology Degree in 2007. I have worked in numerous mental health settings, including 11 years in the NHS & have been a private practitioner since 2013.
If you are struggling mentally or emotionally, have faced or are facing some difficult circumstances - all can be assisted. Life can throw some serious spanners in the works sometimes. We don't have to 'just cope', we can learn to overcome hurdles & obstacles, to come towards flourishing rather than be stuck languishing.

Most of us experience times in our lives when we feel lost, stuck, misunderstood and sometimes we can find ourselves in a dark place not knowing what to do or how to make the changes we might feel are needed. This can involve questioning who we are, wrestling with difficult questions, trauma, illness, addiction or loss.
Sometimes people don't have anyone they feel able to talk to or sharing with people close might be difficult. I hope to offer a space in which you can feel safe and respected while you explore these challenges and move towards improved mental health.

I have helped clients with a range of presenting difficulties such as low mood, anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, relationship struggles and many more. What you must have in therapy is the space to feel comfortable to open up and feel heard by your therapist. When people come to therapy they feel stuck and feel like they don’t know where to turn. If this is you therapy can help provide a space for empathy, and understanding while helping you to move in a better direction.
In addition I provide gold standard ADHD assessments, reports and link with relevant professionals for supported treatment plans. Prices for this upon request.

In therapy you can learn how to regulate emotions, communicate effectively, set boundaries and prioritise your needs. You will empower yourself, live more authentically and learn to make choices that nourish you.

Life can be overwhelming—stress, anxiety, past trauma, or simply the weight of daily demands can exhaust you. You do not need to have everything figured out to begin therapy. In a safe, nonjudgmental environment, I help you understand what's going on in your mind and body, learn practical tools for feeling more stable, and work at your own pace to untangle old patterns, heal past wounds, and regain a sense of calm and control in your life.

I appreciate that people might be coming to therapy with different preconceptions, goals, past experiences, and/or worries. As starting therapy takes a lot of courage, it is important we go at your pace. As such, our first session together will focus on: Getting to know each other to make sure I am the right fit for you, and exploring the difficulties you would like support with. We might also start to develop your goals and think about the type of therapy best suited to meet these. covering other important aspects such as confidentiality, session length, and timings so we know what to expect from each other.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying experiences that still affect you today. Perhaps you’re living with anxiety, low mood, trauma, self-criticism, or simply a sense that something isn’t quite right. You want to understand yourself more deeply, feel calmer and more grounded, and build a kinder relationship with yourself. You’re ready for change, but you want it to feel safe, at your pace, and genuinely empowering.

What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
