He is very easy to talk to and relaxed. He gives you space to express your feelings without interruptions, and draws the therapy session to an end in a very thoughtful and gentle way.

James is easy to talk to, listens well, and is not judgemental. He helped me come to my own realisations about my problems and offered many practical solutions to specific issues I was having, as well as looking back to the past to see where those issues came from in the first place. Overall I greatly recommend James as a therapist.

James was very good at getting me thinking about and explaining issues that I had with regards to my anger, and also explaining how to overcome and think about the consequences before I act on whatever had upset or made me angry. I highly recommend James as he is so easy to talk to and also listens and advises.

James creates a very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere in his home. Rather than just sitting and talking, James offers different ways of approaching topics and issues. He invites you to take part in activities at home and gives 'homework'. James made me think about subjects from a different perspective and gave my partner and I equal time to share our views. I highly recommend James to couples or individuals seeking counselling.
