More about James
- 8 years' experience
- Male
- NCPS
I am an adult therapist licensed in the UK and Ireland since 2015, with over 8 years of experience working as a psychotherapist.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse especially in the context of Northern Ireland's troubles.
My therapy style is inclusive and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, EMDR, mindfulness based CBT and rational-emotive therapy.
I tailor our dialoue and treatment plan to meet unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
