Stress Counselling in Cardiff

Maybe a life experience has been traumatic, maybe you have encountered a relationship problem at work or with friends or family, stress, depression or anxiety is crippling your life energy.
I am attuned to people's body-minds, the breath, the emotions that moves us, the non-verbal cues, the words and our personal histories. To feel safe and accepted, and free to express yourself fully is important for going deeper, to heal. With me you can explore your bodily unconscious through touch (Rosen Method Bodywork) or integrative psychotherapy.

I offer tailored evidence-based therapy to address a wide range of difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, panic, OCD, attachment issues, posttraumatic stress, complex trauma, low self-esteem, relationship or family problems, bereavement, miscarriage, life transitions, burnout, and sexual dysfunction.
My approach as a therapist is rooted in deep empathy, respect, and a commitment to meeting you exactly where you are on your journey. I believe in a trauma-informed approach, one that recognises the impact of past experiences and works to create a safe, non-judgmental space for healing.

My expertise lies in areas such as stress management, emotional regulation, personal development, and relationship dynamics.
We encounter various kinds of difficulties and challenges every day. At times, it can be challenging to open up to others, therefore leading to feelings of confusion and a sense of powerlessness. Recently, many individuals from Hong Kong who have relocated to the UK have faced setbacks in their social, professional, or academic pursuits. Such challenges often stem from uncertainties surrounding self-image and self-worth while adapting to a new environment. If you find yourself in a similar situation, exploring yourself through psychological counseling can provide you with more effective means to understand and address these emotions

The effects of anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma can be physically felt as well as mentally and emotionally.
I believe everyone’s experience of stress, anxiety and depression is different and rather than ‘a one size fits all’ type of counselling, I provide a holistic approach and look at you as a whole to tailor therapy to your needs. As well as talking therapy we will use breath work, mindfulness and meditation techniques to help you manage your symptoms.

Dr. Chris James - Sleep Specialist & Adult ADHD
Psychologist, PsychD, HCPC - Clin. Psych.
Online Only
I'm a highly experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist and sleep specialist providing evidence-based psychological interventions (including CBT) for a range of difficulties including insomnia, adult ADHD, anxiety, work-related stress and burnout, trauma, depression, OCD, health anxiety, phobia, self-esteem issues and relationship difficulties.
Psychological support is about investing in you. Life can be chaotic, intense, confusing, and we can be left feeling disconnected from ourselves, our lives, and the people around us. Sometimes we just need some space to stop and think. Psychological support is also about developing a deeper understanding of yourself - who you are, what you need, what matters to you. For others, it's about building on existing skills - how to get more out of relationships, improving communication, being more assertive, boosting your sleep and performance, learning to be the best version of yourself.
