Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgmental space where the client’s own perspective guides the work. It helps with building self-awareness, confidence, and practical coping when facing relationship issues or identity questions.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence present feelings and behaviours. It can be useful for understanding recurring relationship difficulties, unresolved grief, and long-standing emotional patterns that affect daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and James works collaboratively with people to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He supports clients in experimenting with different ways of working and adapts the approach as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, family, or other commitments, and to maintain continuity of care even when geography or schedules change. Registered professionals can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these formats, helping clients make steady progress from wherever they are.
