About James
James Young is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses client-centred and solution-focused ideas alongside somatic and trauma-informed work. He draws on four years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and parenting concerns. He works in English and accepts international clients.
People come for many reasons, including relationship strain, grief, intimacy issues, anger and low self-esteem. James also supports those coping with life changes, career pressures, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. He addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems.
In sessions he focuses on understanding a persons experience and finding practical steps that fit everyday life. That can mean noticing how emotions show up in the body, trying short experiments between meetings, or setting small, achievable goals. Conversations aim to be straightforward and down to earth.
His trauma-focused work pays attention to how past events affect current coping and relationships. Somatic approaches look at bodily responses to stress and use gentle body-based methods alongside talking. Solution-focused elements help people identify what they want to change and plan manageable next steps.
James holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. If someone wants to begin, they can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to his availability.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The counsellor reflects what a client says and helps them find their own solutions, which often suits worries about relationships, parenting and self-esteem.Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and goal oriented. Sessions concentrate on small steps and what is already working, which can help when someone needs quick ways to manage stress, panic or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together choose methods that feel most useful. This is a collaborative process and can change as work progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, check with the service to confirm the formats offered before booking.
