Hello, I'm James, a chartered and HCPC registered psychologist, EMDR therapist, and RAPPS registered clinical supervisor. I offer specialist assessment and treatment for people experiencing persisting anxiety based problems, trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD, including functional neurological disorders (FND) and non-epileptic seizures (NEAD).

Psychological treatment for persisting problems commonly involves exploring the roots of what maintains the difficulty. This often requires integrating techniques from different therapy approaches, tailored to your individual needs. The main aim of therapy is to help you to more fully understand yourself and improve your psychological and emotional health.

As a practice, we accept referrals from adults aged 18 and over who are ordinarily resident in the UK and registered with a GP. Our referral process is fully online and a consultation can be arranged through our website.
