About me
I’m James and I'm a BACP accredited Psychotherapist & EMDR Therapist. I predominately work with Neurodivergent and Queer adults in therapy to navigate trauma, masking behaviours, shame, anxiety and depression.
Coming from a lived experience as a Neurodivergent and Queer person. I'm passionate about working with others on their journey towards healing and self-acceptance
I work collaboratively with clients to help them understand why they feel the way that they feel. Depression & Anxiety rarely just pop up, its usually built over time either due to a specific event or multiple things in our lives. Once we’ve been able to answer that question, I devise a treatment plan to move towards healing and promote long lasting change.
I'm passionate about self-care for myself and my clients and when I'm not working, I can usually be find in the garden or my greenhouse trying to create space for more plants.
If you're ready to take the next steps on your healing journey, please feel free to get in touch. I do an initial session as a consultation, which is chargeable and gives us the both the time and opportunity to understand if we can work together.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
