About me
Hi, I'm James and I am a therapist based in Gosforth where I support a combination of Adults, Children and Young People.
My goal since qualifying has always been to make counselling accessible and affordable to anybody who needs support and to be able to provide a really flexible approach to therapy that fits exactly what my clients need. Sometimes it's space to talk, other times it's clients who feel a little stuck and need some direction to get them the push forwards they're looking for and I support my clients achieve their goals with a down to earth and relaxed approach to sessions.
I work with and support a wide range of client issues and specialise in supporting clients with all levels of anxiety and low-self esteem using my own tailored programme that I have developed throughout the last two years with extremely positive results so if this is an area you feel you need support please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
If you think we could work well together then please reach out via e-mail or my number to chat further about what you need.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my Degree in Counselling and Therapy through the University of Sunderland in 2024 involving five years of in-person study and training and have the necessary training and experience to support Young People.
I have also completed additional training in the following area's:

Dialectal Behavioural Therapy- Supporting you build positive relationships with yourself and others.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
