About James
Counsellor James Landy is a BACP member with three years of practice. He works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, self‑esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
James uses practical, evidence-based methods to address everyday problems. Sessions focus on clear steps and skills you can try between meetings. He aims to make conversations straightforward and goal-orientated rather than full of jargon.
Many clients come to him for relationship-related worries such as commitment concerns, communication problems, jealousy or infidelity. He also supports people dealing with attachment or abandonment issues, separation and divorce, and the loneliness or emptiness that can follow major life changes.
James can help with difficult feelings like guilt, shame, or low mood, and with behaviours such as hoarding or control issues. He works with problems that often sit alongside anxiety and depression, including obsessive tendencies and difficulties with intimacy.
Sessions are conducted in English and James is open to working with people in the UK and internationally. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment via the service's online options. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
James commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT focuses on practical exercises, short-term goals and skills you can apply between sessions, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.He also draws on general evidence-based techniques for working with relationship and attachment issues. These approaches look at how early patterns affect current connections and support clearer communication and boundary-setting in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. James will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try based on priorities, goals and personal preference. The choice of method can be reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure it fits the client's needs.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow meetings from different locations. It also lets people choose shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when that suits practical needs.
