About James
James Young is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns and anger. Sessions are offered in English and James accepts international clients.
James uses a client-centred outlook that keeps the person’s experience central. He also draws on solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps people can try between sessions. Somatic methods are part of his work when physical tension or trauma responses show up in the body.
People come for help with many things that sit alongside anger – communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, or struggles with alcohol and drug use. He also supports clients facing attachment and abandonment issues, isolation, work stress and panic attacks. He lists men’s issues and parenting among his focus areas.
In sessions James tends to keep language plain and practical. He listens for what causes the biggest daily strain and then works with clients to build clearer patterns of responding. That can mean short goal-focused plans, or attending to bodily reactions when emotions feel overwhelming.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site’s online options. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session formats and times before booking.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience first. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting and helping clients name what matters most. It can help with feelings of anger that build up from everyday stress or relationship strain.Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical changes. In remote sessions this means setting short-term goals and trying simple steps between appointments to test what helps. It works well for people who want clear, manageable strategies for temper and frustration.
Somatic therapy pays attention to how emotions show up in the body. Online work can still guide breathing, grounding and movement practices to reduce physical tension that often accompanies anger and trauma responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then adapt methods together in a collaborative way.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current online options before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone or another arrangement. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, or remove travel time so sessions are more manageable in everyday life.
