Rate James McCann

I am working with James for a few months and really like his method, understanding and knowledge. He is as flexible with me as I wish. It is a privilege to work with him.

James is a really helpful therapist. He understands the struggle of anxiety, depression, and always has something helpful to use to help reduce issues when they come up. Very helpful exercises that really work.

James is excellent

Amazing!

James is awesome!

He is a respectful, knowledgeable, and supportive therapist.

For the first time in a long time, I feel as though I am genuinely being listened to.

Best therapist I have ever had. I hope he never quits.

James has become a wonderful friend and listener. I look forward to our meetings and enjoy how connected he is to my journey. Thanks for the help.

My first therapist was not a good fit so I switched to James and it was a terrific decision. James has helped me so much in the first 2mos and I plan to retain his services ongoing.

James is just what I was looking for!

James is kind and very helpful. Would recommend!

Working with James has been a vital part of my personal journey towards recovery from my addiction. Our weekly conversations have allowed me to talk and work through the ups and downs of recovery and develop a better understanding of my own mind. I would highly recommend James to anyone working through an addiction or personality disorder.

I am immensely grateful for the support I received from James McCann. In a time of heightened anxiety James provided unwavering support and effective strategies that have become indispensable tools in my coping toolbox. His guidance was not only instrumental in overcoming my anxieties but also in fostering personal growth. As I transitioned into a new role at work, James continued to be a pillar of support. His insights and encouragement empowered me to navigate challenges with confidence and resilience. The positive impact of our sessions extended beyond the therapy room, influencing both my personal and professional life. James possesses a rare combination of professionalism, empathy, and genuine care. I am now in a place of stability and growth, and I credit a significant part of this journey to the support and guidance I received from James. I wholeheartedly recommend James to anyone seeking compassionate and effective therapy. If ever the need arises in the future, I won't hesitate to reconnect for his invaluable support.

James has been terrific to work with. He listens to me and then provides great perspective, advice and exercises to help me. I can really tell that he cares for me and my well being.

James is simply great. He’s helped me to identify what feels to be my best path forward from where I am today, and everyday I see him. I always leave our conversations feeling realigned and having tangible steps I’m excited to implement. He’s so good at getting the answers you’re looking for, out of YOU. Rather than just telling you what you need, which he seems to know, he uses probing questions to make you think about what it is you should logically do differently moving forward, considering the things you want. Which is directly helping me create positive change in my life. Can’t recommend this guy enough. Thanks James

James is a great person and excellent therapist. I appreciate his listening skills and ability to understand my struggles while offering space and support to navigate life challenges. Highly recommend!

James truly cares about his clients. He helped me start my sober journey. And I owe it in large part to him. Thanks, James!

James is a great! He takes the time to listen and understand and to respond in ways that are validating and helpful. I’m still early in the process and have only interacted with James a few times, but still highly recommend him!

Sometimes the gods come to earth disguised as mortals. Thank you for helping me James.

James is amazing, he helped me through the toughest patch in my life, truly someone that cares and doesn’t judge but just wants to heal

James was the first therapist who I really clicked with. I love his style. I feel very validated. I feel like he is able to tear out my main concerns and help me work through them really effectively. He’s real, but also very good at what he does. Great to have found him.

James is a great listener and offers great insight.

I came back to Betterhelp, only knowing that James was at the other end. There are very few humans like James, who have a deep empathy and understanding for people, as well as skill and knowledge to guide a conversation, to help analyse what might be going on, where to bring the focus to, and to shed light on things that may not be obvious at first. I am so grateful James is my therapist and hope he is met with 100x the goodness and love he puts into his work. He will create the safest of spaces where the heart can open up and begin to heal. I have also been given some strong tools and practical ways of dealing with the effects of trauma, so I feel confident that my future sessions with James will equip me to be stronger against the darkness within.

Great therapist. Helped me alot so far.

My therapist always has a pertinent comment or explanation that helps get me through my difficulty.

James is an amazing therapist. He made me feel comfortable opening up about my situation from the first meeting. This was my first go at therapy and had two therapist the weeks prior that I switched from just because I felt a disconnect, James made me feel connected to him and the experience right away. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

James is the first therapist who ever was a good fit for me. He is so accommodating and kind. I never feel judged and have made tremendous progress with him.

James has saved my life. He remembers the details I tell him, gives me a variety of tools and doesn’t tell me I’m “wrong” when certain ones don’t work, and he is always encouraging. I’m SO glad I switched from the previous person to James!

James is a wonderful therapist and a even better listener. He helped me through relationship and personal issues with ease. Much recommended!

Highly recommended.

10/10

Fantastic Therapist!! Amazing! He really understands people who are Recovering from addiction, Generational Trauma . Highly recommend.

James is receptive, thoughtful, and kind. He is a great listener and provides great tools, lessons, and counseling. I always appreciate his insight and feel as if he is able to accurately verbalize things that I struggle to verbalize. He's great and has been very helpful so far.

Super helpful and listens to all of my concerns!

Very friendly and helpful. Always respectful and genuine.

Very professional yet personable. Improved my situation starting with the first session and has continued to be very helpful since. Would highly recommend!

James is a competent therapist with a friendly demeanor. Never once have I felt judged and I feel completely comfortable sharing my feelings uninhibited.

James has been very proactive in keeping me on track. Has great understanding of how to build trust via messages and overall just highly recommended

Best therapist EVER!

He is fantastic

James is awesome, he takes the time to understand what you are going through, and also uses his own experience to relate to you. Also he makes it very comfortable for you to talk about your challenges. He offers resources and actionable steps to improve your situation. I highly recommend James McCann!

I found James to be very effective in helping me make the kind of changes I needed to. He is not passive in his approach which I appreciate. Has lots of experience and lessons to share.

James can listen to you and help you find the best path toward a healthy mind. As my main issue is addiction, his input was significant in helping me break some of my habits and understand myself better. Great therapist and a great person! Thank you, James!

James is a fantastic therapist. From the start, he has been incredibly understanding and showed his full support in my journey. James has not only helped me discover a wide range of strategies and exercises to help manage my anxiety, but also supported me in recognising links between my thoughts and behaviours. Our sessions are extremely helpful and I am very thankful for James’ kindness.

James is a great guy who listens and gives me straight up advice and challenges me to be better in life. I feel he’s sincere with his words and wants to see the best in me

James is top bloke with an excellent non-judgmental approach. I get the feeling he completely has my back and that's so important.

After only 3 sessions in, James' thoughtful support, vast knowledge and caring understanding has had a tremendously positive impact on my recovery journey and I cannot recommend him highly enough as an expert therapist. I am very much looking forward to continuing our work together.

Just the best. Gives me the courage to be my best self and truly listens. I consider James a friend

Great person. I’d recommend James to anyone who would consider therapy

James is fantastic.

James has been a fantastic help for me over the last few months, he has a very intuitive nature and is very eager to hear not just what you need to say but to hear you behind that. I couldn't recommend him enough. Thank you very much James

Great therapist. Very personable, really kind, and as most therapists should be, a great listener. He actually listens to you and doesn't act like because he has degrees he knows more than you. Definitely 10 outta 10 :).

James is such an amazing therapist. He always reaches out to make sure I'm doing well and that he is there ready to help. During our phone sessions, he has always listened to understand before moving forward, which I think is very important. I love working with James!

I am so thankful to have met James. I feel like he just gets how difficult things have been for me. He has been so understanding and supportive. He has helped me to find solutions that work for me. I feel like I'm starting to find pieces of myself that have been lost for a long time. Highly recommend.

James has been a great help! I was in a dark place when I first met with him and within a session or two I was already climbing out of it and had some great tools to maintain my overall happiness! Great experience all around!

I have written so many of these for James at this point because he continues to amaze me with how passionate he is about his job! He really makes a difference and he has positively influenced my life for the better time and time again. I cannot say enough how grateful I am for James and for BetterHelp.

James is such an utter delight, ray of sunshine and breath of fresh air. His upbeat and positive attitude is really what I needed. He really empathizes with you and makes you feel safe and heard. He gives exercises and tools to help people cope and grow as individuals that are tangible and fairly easy to grasp; just takes time and effort to grow these skills that he gives you. Amazing all around

James just gets it. From the first moment I've felt able to talk to him openly and, also from that very first session, I feel like he's guiding me in the right direction. He's amazing

Kick ass therapist!

It has been a rough couple of months, but thanks to James’s help I was able to bounce right back. Thank you for always listening, never judging, and giving me all the help I needed!

James is great

James has been an incredible source of helpful information ever since we started working together. He’s kind, thoughtful, empathetic, and someone you’d be glad to have in your corner.

James has been great, even after 1 session and I live in Australia so there is a huge time difference. He regularly checks in as well and gives home work to really deep dive into my concerns . Polite and professional to deal with.

James has come at the right time and his personality and love for his work shines in everything he says. He is truly one of the kindest, most empathetic people I have met and I am very lucky to have him on my side as a therapist. His comittment and genuine interest for my wellbeing goes beyond what I would have expected. He makes me feel uplifted and more confident that I will achieve my goals throughout therapy. It's because of people like James that the world is a better place. Thank you!

I love James so much! His advice and guidance are my primary source of support. From the moment I opened up about my struggles I saw someone who instinctively was able to guide me and offer the best medical advice for my situation. He was also able to detect my OCD tendencies which eventually led me towards this ongoing journey of understanding my own OCD and learning how to manage it in the best way possible. I’m a female on my late twenties with very low self-esteem, and I gotta say, committing to therapy and speaking to James on a weekly basis has improved my self worth quite a bit. I still have a long way to go but I have been feeling better than I’ve ever felt before starting therapy. Thanks James!!!

James shows a real passion and desire to help people, through talking to him about how he came to counselling his sincerity really shows this. He has supported me in changing my mindset to a more positive and proactive one, and therefore empowered me be able to ask for help and help myself.

James is great - understands my needs/concerns, is great to talk to, and offers great tactics to employ throughout the week to work towards my goals.

James is definitely a quality therapist. He’s a great listener, has a good heart, and really went above and beyond for me. Highly recommended!

I was in a low place before starting betterhelp and needed someone to talk to and reaffirm my situation. James gave me the help I needed to be my authentic self and feel confident. Good luck to those who are starting their therapy journey. James will be a great resource for you.

As always I am so happy with James and his ability to instantly address my concerns and help guide me through my emotions. He continues to be a huge factor in my recovery and I owe a lot of my daily happiness to our therapy sessions. James, and BetterHelp, have been incredible throughout my journey. I cannot say thank you enough!

James is thoughtful and really takes the time to listen and understand my issues. He makes informed recommendations and doesn't push anything if I'm not comfortable with it. Love speaking with James and appreciate his genuine caring attitude and demeanor.

James is very friendly and understanding!

James has been great! He really listens and cares. He allows himself to be vulnerable as well and makes me feel like he can relate to the same problems I’m facing. He uses the time set for us very well and gets right to the core of the problem and provide doable solutions and insights. It’s been really great working with him. Thanks for being there James.

A great guy, very easy to speak with. James has a wealth of knowledge and has solutions to many of my issue's.

James has helped me so much. Ive nothing but good things to say about him and the way hes helped me become a better person. I highly appreciate what hes done for me and couldnt recommend him more.

I chose James because I wanted a counselor who would give me healing work to do. James is definitely that guy who has me doing the work.

James has been of great help to me.

James McCann makes me feel heard. Understood. He sees through my walls and helps me and gives me tools to navigate life in a constructive, fulfilling way.

We have met on some of my lowest days while I was dealing with living with an alcoholic. From talking and the worksheets I was provided with , he helped me feel confident in the decisions I was making to better my entire family. It even included having my Fiancé enroll into a outpatient treatment program. He is now 40days sober. Additionally, I’m learning to control my emotions as James is a great listener, which in return helps me find myself through this journey.

James is SOO amazing!! I am SO lucky to have such an amazing counsellor who is SO supportive and SO easy to talk too and he always validates my feelings! I feel so comfortable talking to James and opening up to him. He has helped me SO much when it came to healing, over coming fears and beliefs about myself and he has helped me become the best version of myself and to gain the confidence to really go after what I want in life! I am truly so lucky to have come across him and to have him as my counsellor because he has changed my life and has helped me shift my mindset in such an amazing ways!

Thoughtful and helpful with his process.

Initially when I signed up for counselling I found James' level of enthusiasm in his introduction message to be a little much, this was due to the state I was in and the limited level of positivity I could sincerely accept from people at the time. As time has gone on I have found James' level of enthusiasm and passion for helping people to be genuine and earnest, and through him I have come some way in accepting more positivity into my life. I still feel a have a distance to go, but James has already given me the fundamental tools to help myself and to live my life in a more fulfilling and satisfying way.

James is absolutely incredible! I came to him seeking help for my addiction and instead made a friend who had helped me in every aspect of my daily life. I genuinely look forward to our sessions and would highly recommend him to anyone!

I feel James really listens, understands my concerns, and responds with appropriate help and support. I highly recommend him.

James is very good. He actively listens and, like others have noticed, gets to the heart of an issue. I have found the resources he sends extremely useful. It’s such a relief to have some support. Thank you

James is amazing counselor. Always responds and fits in sessions for me whenever I ask. Hes great guy

Very good guy!

I've had one session so far with James and feel confident in his ability to work with me for my particular needs. He listens and you feel that he cares about your getting better. Looking forward to chatting more with James and from what I can tell soo far would recommend him for others struggling with similar issues.

James is changing my life - I would not be on the journey to happiness that I'm now on without his help and expertise.

James is awesome

I’ve met with James twice so far and I can only say that I’m so happy to have him by my side! He is most definitely helping me to put things into perspective and learn new ways to deal with situations that arise. Being an English speaker living in a non English speaking country, BetterHelp and James have been fantastic! Thank you so much!!!

James is very patient and understanding and has a unique ability to get the the heart of an issue. I always feel respected and approached in a non judgmental way. He has a repertoire of solutions to resolve situations and tailors it to the needs of the individual. He listens to what you have to say and has a very strong ability to empathise with the problems you are facing. Overall, I would thoroughly reccomend James to anyone who is going through a tough time and needs some sound advice to resolve their situations and change their perceptions.

James is a great gentleman. He does not judge you and he is much more pro-active than other therapists I have seen before. I strongly recommend him if you are a man going through a tough time. He is passionate about his work and it shows in his commitment to respond to your messages quickly.

Very happy! I love this service!
