James French is a counsellor who helps people facing worry, sleep problems, relationship strain and major life changes. He keeps things practical and straightforward so conversations are easy to follow. He works in English and is based in the United Kingdom, and he accepts international clients.
James focuses on common difficulties such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress and addiction.

Sleep and resting issues are part of his listed concerns, and he will talk through routines and habits that may be affecting rest.
His approach draws on a mix of therapies that suit different needs. Sessions use clear questions and short exercises to help clients notice what matters and try small changes. He aims to build practical strategies rather than rely on jargon or long lectures.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep routines.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape patterns in close connections. It can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment feelings or emotional distance in relationships.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without directing and helps the client find their own solutions, which suits people who want a reflective space to make sense of things.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what matters most to you and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. Sessions can change over time as needs evolve, so the plan is reviewed together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. The focus is on making therapy practical and manageable alongside everyday life.
