James Henderson, BACP

James Henderson helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and big life changes. He introduces a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels hard. James identifies himself in a straightforward way and invites honest conversation from the start.

He keeps sessions focused on the person in front of him. James listens for patterns in feelings and relationships and helps people connect those patterns to current difficulties. Conversations are tailored around each person's needs rather than a fixed formula.

James uses a psychodynamic approach to look at how past experiences and relationships affect present behaviour. This can help uncover reasons for repeated feelings or reactions and make it easier to choose different responses. He offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what someone wants to achieve.

He has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. That registration is one of the ways he documents his training and professional standing.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and James accepts clients internationally. He aims to support people step by step, helping them feel more in control and clearer about their next moves.

How psychodynamic work fits with online therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past experiences and relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. It involves reflective conversation to bring hidden patterns into view and can be useful for grief, long‑standing anxiety, trauma responses and repeated relationship difficulties.

James works collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. He will listen to your goals and preferences, talk through what different ways of working involve, and agree a plan together rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy practical. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less data. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check‑ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
