About James
BACP psychotherapist and counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. James Henderson supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. He uses a psychodynamic approach to help people understand how past experiences influence present patterns.
James listens to what matters to each person and adapts conversations to suit their needs. Sessions focus on understanding relationships and life events that shape feelings and behaviour. The emphasis is on noticing repeated patterns so people can make more considered choices.
He offers both short-term and long-term work and can provide open-ended therapy when that is useful. People who come for help might talk about persistent low mood, anxiety that interferes with daily life, reactions after traumatic events, or difficulty coping with loss and change.
In sessions James pays attention to how past relationships and experiences turn up in current difficulties. He helps people track thoughts, memories and feelings that repeat, and considers how these patterns affect decision-making and relationships. That approach aims to increase awareness rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are conversational and reflective. James combines close listening with questions that invite new perspectives. He works with practical concerns alongside deeper emotional material so people can manage day-to-day life while exploring longer-term changes.

Psychodynamic work and remote sessions
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on links between past experiences and present feelings. It helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships and behaviour so they can make clearer choices. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, grief, and responses to trauma.In practice James uses reflective conversation to map how memories, relationships and expectations influence current reactions. That can involve talking through early experiences, recurrent thoughts, or how you react to stress. The therapist and client decide together whether to focus on immediate coping or longer-term understanding.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. He will discuss goals and preferences and adjust the approach as sessions continue. This collaborative stance aims to match methods to what helps you most, whether that means shorter practical work or open-ended exploration.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for appointments from different locations. Some formats may be better for a short check-in while others suit longer reflective work; discuss options when you arrange the first session.
