James Landy

James Landy is a counsellor who focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the strain that comes with life changes. He also supports people facing intimacy-related difficulties and feelings of isolation and loneliness. James aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most to them.

He uses cognitive behavioural approaches in a practical way, helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Sessions are collaborative - the person and James work together to set goals and practise simple skills between meetings. This often includes short exercises to reduce anxiety and build confidence over time.

With three years of experience, James brings a relaxed, empathic style to sessions. He describes his manner as warm and supportive, and he focuses on giving clear, concrete tools rather than long explanations.

James is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted, and practical details about session timing and format should be checked before booking.

To begin, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The process aims to make it straightforward to get started and to find an approach that fits each person's needs.

Approaches and how online therapy can help

James uses cognitive behavioural approaches that help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. This approach involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with simple experiments, and learning coping skills to reduce anxiety and lift mood. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related difficulties.

He also applies practical, goal-focused work that breaks larger problems into small, doable steps. That method helps when people feel stuck by focusing on clear next actions and short exercises to practise between meetings. These approaches aim to be collaborative, with the person and therapist deciding together what to try next.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. James will explore needs, goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods as they go. The aim is to pick techniques that fit a person's daily life and to check progress regularly so the plan can change when needed.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins from different locations. It can also make short follow-ups simpler when a brief review or a focused skill practice is useful.
