About James
James Ingram is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. He offers a calm, straightforward space where adults can talk about relationships, identity, work pressure, addictions and struggles with self-esteem. People often come for help with loss, trauma, loneliness or issues tied to body image and sexuality.
James works in a collaborative way that is open and non-judgemental. He listens first to understand each person’s situation and goals.
Background and approach
From there he helps clients spot patterns, try new ways of responding and build on strengths they already have. His practice draws on existential ideas alongside attachment-focused and client-centred ways of working. That means conversations often focus on meaning, connection and how past relationships shape present choices.
He also uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy when helpful for symptoms like anxiety or low mood. James has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has supported people affected by cancer, bereavement, trauma and long-term health conditions, and has experience with neurodiverse adults and those with hearing impairments.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. He aims to create an inclusive space where people can talk honestly about what matters to them and work towards clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

Online support
How James blends approaches online
Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, values and the choices they face. It is useful for major life changes, questions about purpose, and coping with loss or uncertainty. Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life, helping people understand how they relate to others and build more supported ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy centres on a warm, accepting relationship where the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to build self-awareness and confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. James will discuss what matters most to the client and try different ways of working until a clear fit emerges. That decision is collaborative and based on the client’s goals, preferences and the issues they bring to sessions.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options help people fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
