Psychodynamic Insight and Flexible Online Care

James Henderson works from a psychodynamic framework that invites exploration of how early experiences and important relationships influence current feelings, behaviours, and recurring patterns. This approach helps clients gain insight into the roots of stress, anxiety, trauma responses, grief reactions, and difficulties with self-worth so they can make more informed choices about change.

He offers both short-term and longer-term open-ended work depending on the needs presented.
