I've had two sessions so far and felt like we dealt with many things so far. We went deep into the things I wanted to talk about and I feel comfortable being honest in Jim's presence. I look forward to my future sessions and would highly recommend!

More about James

  • 5 years' experience
  • Male
  • NCPS

I am licensed in the UK with more than 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence and more recently ADHD and Autism (ASD). I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

But please don't just take my word for it. these are the words of a client that I recently supported -

"I can't recommend Jim highly enough! He provided invaluable support as I navigated challenges with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and self-confidence. His understanding of my upbringing and its impact on my self-perception was enlightening. Through our sessions, I gained insights into my relationships, especially with my parents, and found the courage to confront past traumas. His guidance helped me unravel layers of insecurities and guilt, empowering me to embrace self-acceptance. Thanks to Jim, I feel more confident and equipped to face life's challenges. Truly grateful for his professionalism and empathy!"

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
