Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy in James’s work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current ways of connecting and relating. This approach helps people address attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and difficulties with intimacy by exploring how past experiences shape present reactions and needs.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a non-directive space where clients lead the conversation. It supports self-exploration, personal growth, and improvements in self-esteem by valuing the client’s perspective and pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking. CBT can be especially useful for managing anxiety, low mood, stress, and developing coping strategies for everyday challenges.

He frames therapy as a partnership in which registered professionals and therapists tailor techniques to support each person’s journey.
