About James
James Morrell is a counsellor who trained in person-centred therapy and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from a humanistic stance that keeps conversations focused on each person's experience.
He aims to listen without judgement and to help people find what matters to them. He mixes person-centred practice with other therapeutic ideas to suit each person.
Background and approach
That can mean drawing on attachment thinking to look at relationship patterns. It might mean using solution-focused ideas to set clear steps for change. He keeps the work practical and grounded in everyday life.
James has six years' experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and bipolar. He also addresses topics such as self-esteem, career difficulties, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.
He pays attention to how cultural background and gender shape a person's experience of counselling. He is particularly aware of how men and people from minority groups can feel misunderstood in therapy and aims to create a space where different parts of identity can be talked about. Sessions explore feelings, personal values and practical changes people can try between meetings.
The focus is on helping people recognise their needs and make choices that feel more authentic to them.

Online support
Online therapy approaches and what they offer
James uses Existential and Attachment-Based ideas alongside a person-centred way of working. Existential Therapy helps people consider big questions about meaning, choice and responsibility, and can be useful when life changes feel overwhelming or confusing. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping people understand how those patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions.He approaches therapy as a collaboration. Finding the right therapeutic mix is part of the work and will be decided together based on your needs, goals and preferences. The therapist will invite discussion about what helps most and adjust the focus as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues during a longer conversation. Phone sessions are often helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, brief reflections or people who find writing easier than talking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
