WelcomeTherapy can be an exciting opportunity for personal development, a chance for you to connect and better understand parts of yourself which are holding you back from becoming your best self.
It can also be an environment in which you can receive the support you need to overcome challenges in your personal, family or professional life. Whatever brings you to therapy, I hope you find this website a useful starting point as you consider your next steps. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I'll do my best to help. |

About JamesI grew up in North Wales and my experiences as an LGBTQ young person living in a rural area have shaped my commitment to using technology to expand specialist provision.
Prior to becoming a counsellor I undertook a number of different campaigning and public relations roles in an enormous range of policy areas including race equality, student rights, animal welfare and workers rights. I am active in campaigning to challenge the stigma around mental health, and use my own lived experience of mental health to work with clients to help them understand their existing coping strategies. |
