About James

Counsellor (BACP), 4 years' experience. James Young helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, life changes and compassion fatigue. He also works with ADHD-related challenges and a range of related issues such as panic attacks and isolation.

James uses client-centred work as a foundation. He combines that with solution-focused techniques to set practical steps and somatic approaches to address bodily responses linked to distress. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what people want to change.

In practice he listens for patterns that keep people stuck, then tries small, achievable adjustments. That can mean short goal-focused exercises, conversational work to notice unhelpful thoughts, or simple body-based practices to calm tension. He explains each method plainly and checks that it feels useful before continuing.

James has four years' experience working in the UK context and holds BACP accreditation. He offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions run via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. James will discuss aims and practical steps in that first meeting and agree how to work together.

How these approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what the client brings, helping them name feelings and priorities. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on brief, practical steps and small changes that move a person towards clearer goals. Somatic Therapy uses gentle attention to bodily sensations to reduce tension and help people notice how stress shows up in their bodies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. James will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what feels most helpful for their aims and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a brief session suits. Registered or accredited professionals often use this flexibility to match timing and length to a client's schedule.
