My name is James Smith, I am 30 years old and am a level 5 qualified Integrative counsellor. I am registered through the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and have 2 years clinical experience. I currently work with adults 18 and over. 

Honesty, acceptance and empathy are at the core of my practise. I create a non-judgemental, open space for you as the client to open up and feel comfortable doing so. I work in an integrative approach focusing on systemic therapy where we collaboratively explore the relationships and systems that surround you. We will work towards positive change, understanding, acceptance and personal growth throughout.

All sessions last 50 minutes and are delivered remotely, online via Microsoft Teams. You can now engage in counselling from the comfort of your own home. 

My Approach

 

I believe in navigating change through Systemic Practice and Dialogue. I believe that individuals are intertwined with their environments, relationships, and societal structures. My approach is rooted in systemic thinking, recognising that personal struggles often stem from broader dynamics such as the relationships with the people around us. 

Through thoughtful and compassionate dialogue, we collaboratively explore the connections between your experiences and the world around you. I aim to work with my clients to unravel complexities, promote healing, and inspire growth within both yourself and the systems you engage with. I can offer counselling in the following areas:

 

  • Grief                               
  • Anxiety
  • Depression 
  • Trauma 
  • Bereavement 
  • Relationship issues 
  • Careers
  • Life transitions 
  • Loneliness
  • Children
