From our very first session, James made me feel heard and like I could talk about my issues without the fear of being judged. James has really helped me gain a better understanding of myself and helped me explore my past issues that are still affecting me today. Our sessions have helped me develop tools for dealing with my triggers and noticeably improved my self-esteem. More...

Hi Fareena, thanks for the kind words I'm delighted to hear everything worked out for you.
What do you love most about your job?
Witnessing individuals gain self-awareness and through that self-awareness find the impetus to manifest change while learning to navigate their lives.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Throughout different phases of my life, I faced numerous challenges and extremes that (on occasion) brought me psychological/emotional pain and upheaval.
Before pursuing a career in counseling, I enjoyed a successful journey in the creative arts. However, I faced a challenging period when my artistic endeavors lost relevance, leading to a sense of depression. Some might label this phase as a midlife crisis. Nonetheless, these encounters ultimately guided me toward one of the most rewarding decisions I've made — embarking on becoming a counselor.
As a result of training, I recognized the potential for transforming this experience into a midlife reset. As we age, our lives and values may undergo significant confusing shifts. I possess the expertise to assist individuals in resetting their life trajectories, guiding them toward a more positive direction.
Why should our clients choose you?
I view counseling as a highly personal and confidential form of support, and, in my role as your counselor, I would provide you with the space to express your concerns and explore alternative coping strategies. With my support, you can determine the most suitable approach to resolving your difficulties. The primary goal of our sessions is to offer you an opportunity to enhance the quality of your life by addressing your issues organically as they surface during our interactions.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I provide continuous counseling sessions priced at £45.00 for a 50-minute online session. My approach involves open-ended integrative psychotherapy, and the duration of the therapy will be collaboratively discussed and regularly reviewed as we progress.
Additionally, I offer short-term integrative psychotherapeutic counseling, typically spanning 6-12 sessions.
I also offer fortnightly sessions and plan to offer walking sessions in the summer months.
