James Morrell

James Morrell is a counsellor who trained through a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a BACP member. He uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on what each person brings to sessions. He aims to create a calm space where people can speak without feeling judged and can begin to understand what they need.

He draws on other methods alongside the person-centred approach. That includes ideas from transactional analysis, solution-focused work, psychodynamic thinking and attachment ideas when they help the conversation. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what matters to the client rather than a strict technique list.

James has six years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. He has worked with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and grief, and also supports people living with neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. He is mindful of how identity and culture shape someone’s experience and makes space for those topics in therapy.

He pays particular attention to how people form relationships and how past experiences affect current life. This can include exploring attachment patterns, intimacy-related issues or difficulties with communication and boundaries. James aims to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating that feel more useful.

People often come to him for help with work stress, parenting pressures, low self-esteem or coping with major life changes. He encourages practical steps alongside reflection, so clients leave sessions with small, usable ideas to try between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches can work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online conversations can still identify those patterns and help people try different ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client is experiencing, which can be done in straightforward spoken sessions to help people feel heard and valued.

James also uses existential ideas when they fit - exploring meaning, choice and what matters to a person. That approach can help with navigating big life questions and coping with change. Across these approaches the emphasis is on working together to find what helps rather than imposing a single method.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep therapy consistent when life is busy or they are based abroad.
