About James
James Young is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with people facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression and related concerns. He also supports clients dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma and questions about identity and purpose.
James uses approaches that focus on the client and on practical steps forward. In sessions he helps people notice bodily reactions, find small changes that shift daily patterns, and explore how past events affect present feelings. He draws on client-centred and solution-focused ideas alongside somatic and trauma-focused ways of working.
People often come to him when anger appears as outbursts, simmering resentment, workplace frustration, or struggles with another person's anger. He aims to help them understand triggers, practise different responses, and reduce the emotional charge that builds over time.
James has experience supporting issues linked to addiction, self-harm, panic, attachment concerns and parenting strain. His background includes work in community services with young people and adults, which informs a pragmatic and straightforward style in sessions.
Sessions cover short-term problem solving and longer work on patterns that repeat across relationships. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options provided.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own priorities and experience. It means the counsellor listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the person. This approach suits people who want a thoughtful, person-led conversation about anger and related feelings.Solution-Focused Therapy works by finding small, practical steps that make a difference quickly. Sessions often identify one or two achievable changes to try between appointments, which helps with day-to-day anger at work or home. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily signals and tension patterns. It helps people notice how stress and anger show up in the body and practise simple techniques to ease physical activation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust based on what feels useful. That makes sessions collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time and make short check-ins easier. Others choose longer sessions to work on trauma or somatic practices where more time is useful. Discuss format and timing when you start so the plan fits everyday life.
