About James Morrell
James Morrell is a fully qualified person-centred therapist with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy and an accredited register membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, licensed in the United Kingdom. He works from a humanistic perspective that places the client’s experience and needs at the centre of the work, offering a nonjudgmental environment where people can explore who they are and what they need to flourish.
Rather than making clinical diagnoses, he focuses on helping clients uncover their own priorities and develop clearer self-understanding. While his practice sits primarily within the person-centred framework, he draws on other models such as Transactional Analysis and Egan solution-focused techniques to tailor support to each person’s situation. He has worked with people experiencing a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns, including stress, anxiety and depression, and aims to create a space where emotions can be expressed without shame or the need to justify them.
As a male therapist he reflects on how traditional expectations about masculinity can affect engagement with counselling and seeks to offer an approach that acknowledges the varied ways men and women experience vulnerability. He also attends to cultural competence, recognising that clients’ backgrounds shape their perspectives and needs. In his work with addictions he explores each person’s relationship to substances or behaviours, supporting the development of self-acceptance and greater autonomy over choices. He is open to working with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
James Morrell works primarily from a client-centred model, which focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and experience lead the work. This approach helps people explore identity, self-worth and life choices while feeling heard and respected. Attachment-based therapy is also part of his practice; it explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and can be useful for issues such as intimacy, abandonment and family concerns. He also integrates mindfulness therapy techniques, which teach present-moment awareness and practical ways to manage stress, anxiety and difficult emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. James works with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts methods over time so the work fits the client rather than forcing a single model. Registered professionals often blend approaches to match what is most helpful for an individual.
Online therapy with James can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support from the United Kingdom or abroad, reduce travel time and allow clients to choose the communication style that suits them best.
