James Morrell, BACP

James Morrell is a counsellor with six years' experience who trained to a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He practises from a person-centred, humanistic stance and focuses on what each person needs in the moment. He aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward.

He commonly works with stress, anxiety and depression and also supports people facing addiction, relationship strain, grief and life changes. He pays particular attention to issues around identity, intimacy and self-esteem. He also accepts work related to neurodiversity, attachment concerns and caregiving strain among other areas noted in his practice.

James draws on other therapeutic influences including transactional ideas and a solution-focused orientation to shape practical sessions. He encourages clients to name what matters to them, try small changes and review what helps. Sessions aim to be collaborative rather than directive, with the client guiding the pace and focus.

He is mindful of how gender and cultural background shape people's experience of therapy. He offers space to talk about masculinity, shame and societal expectations without judgement. He also works on issues where people feel misunderstood by services or by those close to them.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted and sessions are offered in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

James works from a person-centred perspective that keeps the client's experience central. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people name what they need, which can be useful for matters like low mood, identity and relationship strain.

He also uses elements of solution-focused work to set small, practical steps between sessions. That method is goal-oriented and suits people who want to try specific changes and then review what helps. Psychodynamic ideas inform how past relationships and patterns might influence current feelings, which can help when clients want to understand repeating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaboration. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and adapt sessions to each person's goals, values and what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change over time.

The original biography does not list explicit session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow quieter check-ins during work breaks, or offer an alternative when travel is difficult. The focus remains on practical work you can apply between sessions and on making the process fit everyday life rather than on a particular delivery method.
