Hello, I'm James, a really friendly qualified and accredited Counsellor born and raised in Yorkshire. I offer you the space to work at your own pace, to truly hear what it is that you are saying, to be someone who walks alongside you, gently checking meaning and guiding you to your own revelations, learning and understanding. I believe that figuring things out this way is the most empowering and lasting way to remove your roadblocks. In a sense, you already hold the answers… through talking, models and tools, we just need to figure them out together.

Special Interests: Jungian-informed approaches, Metaphysics, cognitive neuroscience of trauma, meditation, the fundamental laws of the universe, the neuroscience of spirituality, manifestation, & visualization.
I am a Psychological Therapist with over 18 years of clinical experience in mental health care, spanning both public and private sectors. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed therapy, helping clients understand and address the early experiences that have shaped their emotional distress in the present. I take a neurobiological approach to healing—integrating brain and body—to help clients make sense of their nervous system responses. When we experience trauma, adversity, or chronic stress, our bodies adapt in ways that can feel overwhelming or confusing. My work involves demystifying these responses and empowering clients.

I believe that my experience in the fields of spirituality and psychology has given me the tools for accessing deeper layers of human psyche to facilitate self- healing, inner peace and self-empowerment.
Via psycho-spiritual counselling and Jungian approach I assist my clients to access, process, and release their emotional 'baggage' stored in the subconscious, which is often related to the stubborn unconscious programmes, e.g. self-sabotage or co-dependency. I also help my clients with emotional self-regulation, coping strategies & somatic yoga therapy.

I work with a diverse range of issues however the key areas are in relationships, codependency, trauma, addictions, sexuality, race, culture, spirituality and working with female survivors of rape and sexual abuse.
Hi, I am a Person-Centered counsellor and clinical supervisor based in South Manchester. I believe the first step to therapy can be the most difficult yet courageous. There are times when we could use some space to talk about and process what we are feeling and explore life issues, allowing yourself permission to reach out and talk to someone can be half the battle. My practice is holistic in its approach, connecting with the mind and body. As well as talk therapy I use somatic experiencing, EFT, grounding and mindfulness to help you connect with and explore your emotions and work through issues to re-balance.

I first encountered the world of counselling and psychotherapy in 1994 when working and studying in the area of Franciscan spirituality with others.
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. Anxious about contacting me? I would encourage you not to be too anxious about making contact regarding psychotherapy. Feeling anxious is a normal aspect of therapy, especially at first.

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?

Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?

There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?

Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?

​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
