About us
Hi, I’m James, an experienced neurodiverse therapist helping neurodiverse individuals experiencing mental health difficulties. I am a BABCP accredited psychotherapist with over 10 years’ experience working in mental health services, both in the NHS and privately. My specialty is working with neurodiverse individuals who are experiencing difficulties with their mental health. This means that I commonly help with issues of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I also have extensive experience helping with general anxiety, OCD, body dysmorphia, social anxiety, health anxiety and panic disorder. I am neurodiverse myself (I have ADHD), meaning that I understand from both professional and personal experience how are brains are different and need different things, in life and of course in therapy. Every person is an individual beyond neurodiversity, so my approach is always tailored to you and your specific needs. I use methods from CBT, ACT, IPT, and elements from couple therapy when appropriate.
I base my work in compassion and collaboration, believing the most important aspect of therapy is the client-therapist relationship. It's important that you feel comfortable with your therapist and that they can understand you and your situation. I invite you to contact me for a free 20-minute phone consultation. This is a chance for you to ask any questions, get a sense of me as a therapist, and for me to make sure I can offer you the help you need. If it would help you to know more about what to expect in the introductory call, please ask me to send you a list of typical questions, which I will be happy to accommodate. You are also welcome to email me your questions, if this is more comfortable for you.
