About James
James French is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and anger. He also supports people with issues around self-esteem, sleep and eating, parenting pressures, ADHD and career change.
James keeps sessions straightforward. He listens to the problem, helps name the patterns that keep it going and offers practical tools to change them. Conversations can cover behaviours, thought habits and how relationships affect everyday mood and temper.
His approach draws on a mix of methods, including cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He uses client-centred listening to make space for what matters to the client, and attachment ideas when relationship patterns are a focus. That mix helps when frustration builds at work, resentment grows at home, or anger feels hard to control.
James has experience working with issues that overlap with anger, such as control problems, communication difficulties and codependency. He aims to help people notice triggers and choose different responses rather than react automatically. Sessions include practical strategies and short exercises to try between meetings.
People meet James to work on specific problems or to build longer term coping skills. He accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
James commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce the intensity of reactive responses. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments to change feelings and behaviour.He also uses client-centred principles so the client's priorities shape the work. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past, and they will decide together which strategies to try first.
