James has been excellent at listening, and helped me help myself. Providing guidance and advice where needed but allowing me time to process my own thoughts and make come to my own realisations has been more impactful than previously experienced with other people.

My name is James Hodgeon I’m a qualified therapeutic Person-Centred counsellor. This humanistic approach works with the way that people perceive themselves raising awareness and understanding of the person. Working in the here and now focusing on the person as a whole facilitating and allowing the person to achieve greater independence and skills to cope with current and future issues.
Person Centred counselling is a theory which can help people work through life issues such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, life transitions, anger, to name a few.
I have over 30 years of experience working with mental health and emotional well-being, supporting people with life events that can be difficult to talk to family members and friends about.
My aim is to provide a safe supportive relationship, a calm and confidential space for you to feel heard and understood. Being non-judgemental in my attitude, my congruent manner and empathic understanding will provide the conditions necessary for change to occur as we work together to help you have a more fulfilling life.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP. I trained at Leeds and Salford University’s for my graduate and post graduate training.
I receive monthly supervision in line with the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, have full professional indemnity insurance and DBS checked.
I work with adult, older adults and trainees and this service is delivered by telephone and video call.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Only had 2 sessions so far, but Ive found James to be very easy to talk to. I like the fact that he is older and more experienced, not only as a therapist, but with life in general.
