Supporting you to live a more meaningful life
Hi. I'm James.
I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, and I help empower you to work through issues or challenges that may be making life difficult for you. I offer a "safe space" for you to explore issues in a non-judgemental way. This might include past trauma or current experiences.
How do we do this? We talk. Well, mostly you talk and I listen.
As we talk I'll ask questions and offer observations, which will help you start to understand what's underneath your difficulties. It's both that simple and that complicated.
I'm based in Long Eaton, on the border of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. I work online with adults across the UK, and am in the process of finding premises to deliver face to face counselling in the Long Eaton/Beeston area.
Please explore my website more to find out more about me, what sort of things I've helped people with to date, and to answer some of your questions. Or click the button below to contact me - as the old BT adverts said, it's good to talk!

Book a session
I know that finding the right counsellor is important, so I offer a free 30-minute introductory session. In that time you can meet me and we can talk through a little of your reasons for considering counselling.
After this, we can arrange a suitable time in the week for a regular weekly session. I currently work in the daytime on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. I can also offer evening sessions on Mondays and Fridays.
