About James
James Harvey NCPS is a counsellor registered in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and depression, and has recent experience supporting clients with ADHD and autism spectrum issues.
James frames the client as the expert in their own story and focuses on building practical ways forward. Sessions are intended to help people understand patterns, improve communication, and manage symptoms so everyday life feels more manageable.
He uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely to what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Psychodynamic ideas are drawn on to look at how past experiences can affect present relationships and feelings.
James has worked with a range of concerns related to family, parenting and life transitions, including adoption and foster care, attachment, grief, and challenges tied to fatherhood. He also supports people dealing with substance and behavioural addictions, control issues, codependency, and separation or divorce.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change. He encourages practical steps, clearer communication, and reflection on past influences so clients can make decisions that fit their lives.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the counsellor respond to what the client brings and build an understanding at the client’s pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises. In online sessions CBT can include structured conversations, homework tasks and short skill-building activities to change unhelpful patterns.
Psychodynamic Therapy involves looking at how past relationships affect current feelings and behaviour. Even in remote sessions this can be useful for people wanting to understand long-standing themes and patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a plan that fits the client’s needs. That plan can change as the person learns more about what helps.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It also allows shorter check-ins or conversation-focused sessions when full-length meetings are hard to schedule, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
