Counselling Experience and Areas of Interest
James works with clients who are struggling with anger, anxiety, loneliness, low self-esteem, grief, and depression.
James has a particular interest in body (or somatic) psychotherapy but is broadly in favour of any intervention which helps people to rediscover their innate capacity to live their lives more easily, more fully and more joyously.
James has experience in one-to-one psychotherapy, in biodynamic massage, and in facilitating groups.
Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach
"For me, psychotherapy is a journey of exploration where you, as the client, make the (often difficult) decision to allow me, as the therapist, into your inner world. As you are the one taking the risk, you will control the pace of this journey. My role is to accept your invitation and to support you as you navigate towards your own ‘true north’ - a place where you are able to express yourself freely and authentically.
To help you get there, I pay attention for signs of aliveness and vibrancy (both in you and in me). Whether it is a change in tone, a shift in posture, or a bubbling up of emotion, etc. together we can use these signs to help navigate towards healthy expression of your feelings and emotions."
Psychotherapy Training and Accreditation
James trained with Tracht Psychotherapy Foundation in Kinvara. He graduated with a Diploma in Biodynamic & Integrative Psychotherapy and a Certificate in Biodynamic Massage.
He is a pre-accredited member with the Irish Association of Body Psychotherapy (IABP), and also with the Irish Association of Humanistic & Integrative Psychotherapists (IAHIP).
