James Landy, BACP

James Landy helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports those facing depression and major life changes. He uses a practical, collaborative style so people can try things that make a difference quickly.

James works in a conversational, down-to-earth way. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long explanations. He aims to help people spot patterns that keep problems going and practise new ways of coping between meetings.

With three years of clinical experience he brings steady support for problems such as abandonment fears, attachment difficulties and commitment worries. He also addresses communication problems, control issues, separation and divorce, jealousy, isolation and feelings of emptiness.

James can help with practical concerns like hoarding, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and navigating infidelity. He encourages honest, direct conversations and helps clients build everyday routines that reduce stress and improve confidence.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with people across the United Kingdom and beyond. Sessions are offered in English and James accepts international clients who want online help.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy

James commonly uses cognitive behavioural approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. This involves setting clear goals, testing small changes and learning practical skills to reduce anxiety, low mood and stress.

He also draws on techniques that focus on attachment and relationship patterns, helping people understand how past experiences shape current intimacy and communication. This can be useful for worries about abandonment, commitment or recurrent jealousy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods together based on needs, goals and personal preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
