About James
James Morrell is a BACP-registered counsellor with six years of practice. He trained to Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy and works from a person-centred, humanistic outlook. He aims to talk with people rather than at them and to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be named.
He often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. He also helps those affected by addictions, grief, relationship strain and sleep difficulties. James pays attention to how identity and culture shape someone’s experience and adapts his work to each person’s background.
James draws on a mix of approaches alongside the person-centred framework. He uses ideas from attachment work, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking to understand emotions and recurring patterns. He also incorporates solution-focused ideas when people want short-term, practical steps.
In sessions he encourages honest conversation about topics that can carry shame, such as addictive behaviours or struggles with masculinity. He aims to reduce blame and help people find more self-acceptance so they can make choices that suit them.
Sessions can explore parenting pressures, career stress, identity questions including LGBT issues, and sleep problems linked to anxiety or change. He works with adults and welcomes international clients who can communicate in English.
He asks people to use the platform’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that suits them.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
James uses a person-centred stance that focuses on the client's experience and immediate concerns. This means sessions begin by listening closely to what matters to the client and following their pace, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep problems.He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That kind of work helps when people struggle with relationship worries, intimacy or persistent responses to loss or abandonment. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and to change how someone relates to difficult thoughts and bodily sensations, useful for sleep and anxiety issues.
Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. James will work with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adjust as goals change. He encourages clear discussion about what is working and what is not so therapy stays practical and personally relevant.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes accessing a counsellor from another region or country simpler for those who prefer English.
