Mandy James

My name is Mandy James.

I have many years of experience in providing Psychotherapy support and Life Coaching and I offer a
wide range of caring, confidential and professional therapies, all of which are implemented with a non-judgemental approach.

I am passionate about my work. I believe that Mental health issues can be debilitating and destructive. In many ways mental health issues are more serious than physical illness. My own experience in life has forged me into the person I am today and guided me into this career.

I know what it is to face challenges and tough choices. If you come to me it will be in the knowledge that whatever is said, I will not judge. In addition, when you come to talk to me, you will be safe from fear, in a non judgemental relaxing haven that I will provide.

If you are struggling to overcome painful problems or you simply want to develop your potential and live a fuller life, it can be helpful to have a caring, knowledgeable and skilful person to talk to.

I will make sure you feel seen, heard and appreciated as a unique individual, in all of your richness and complexity. While I will help you understand the nature and origins of your problems as well as guiding you to discover and use all of your strengths and talents to make the changes to your life you may want or need.

Psychotherapy and Life Coaching do have some things in common, but they are different in their emphasis and the methods they use. If we work together in psychotherapy, I will help you understand and resolve difficult issues that are getting in the way of feeling good and functioning in your daily life.

If you don't have any major issues that are causing significant distress, but you want more joy and satisfaction in your life, then life coaching would be our approach.

Therapies
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) combines cognitive and behavioural therapies. the approach focuses on thoughts, emotions, physical feelings and actions, and teaches clients how each one can have an effect on the other. CBT is useful for dealing with a number of issues, including depression, anxiety and phobias.

Psychoanalytical and Psychodynamic Therapies are based on an individual’s unconscious thoughts and perceptions that have developed throughout their childhood, and how these affect their current behaviour and thoughts.

Humanistic Therapies focus on self-development, growth and responsibilities. They seek to help individuals recognise their strengths, creativity and choice in the 'here and now'.

Person-Centred Counselling focuses on an individual’s self-worth and values. Being valued as a person, without being judged, can help an individual to accept who they are, and reconnect with themselves.

Transactional Analysis is based on the theory that we each have three ego states: Parent, Adult and Child. By recognising ego-states, Transactional Analysis attempts to identify how individuals communicate, and how this can be changed.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a new discovery based on Ancient Chinese Medicine, also known as Emotional Acupressure.

Life Coaching aims to help and empower others to make, meet and exceed personal and professional goals - including excelling in the workplace, becoming happy and fulfilled in the home, exploring the self and the world as well as achieving ambitions.
