James Morrell, BACP

James Morrell is a BACP-registered counsellor with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy and six years' experience. He works with common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and anger. He also supports people with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, self-esteem and career concerns. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

He follows a humanistic, person-centred approach while drawing on other methods. That means he listens to what matters to the client and shapes conversation around their experience. He uses ideas from attachment-based thinking, psychodynamic work, mindfulness and solution-focused tools when they help.

James writes openly about the way gender and culture affect how people seek help. He often reflects on how men experience counselling and how societal expectations can get in the way of asking for support. He also notes cultural differences and aims to understand each client's background when they talk together.

When clients bring addictive behaviours he explores each person's relationship with the behaviour rather than applying a single label. He talks through triggers, shame and coping patterns, and supports clients to consider what a different relationship to the behaviour might look like.

His style is conversational rather than prescriptive. He aims to offer a place to talk through feelings, to identify what matters, and to work on practical next steps. People who want a straightforward, reflective approach often find this useful.
