James Young, BACP

James Young is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on client-centred, solution-focused and somatic approaches in his work. He presents a calm, practical way of talking through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. James is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which appears after his name as BACP.

He focuses on issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns and parenting strain. He also helps people dealing with anger, low self esteem, career questions and life changes. Additional areas include ADHD, compassion fatigue and problems with addiction and substance use.

James uses short, focused conversations to identify what matters now. He adapts sessions to the individual, combining talking therapy with body awareness techniques when that is helpful. That can make it easier to notice how strong feelings show up in the body as well as in thoughts.

With four years of experience he brings practical tools alongside listening. People can expect straightforward goal-setting and steps to try between sessions. The work is collaborative and paced to the person's needs.

James accepts people from outside the UK as well as locally and runs sessions through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and aims to create an accepting space for them to speak freely. It helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship questions by following what the person brings to the session rather than imposing a set agenda.

Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and practical. It concentrates on small, achievable changes and on what will look different when problems ease, which can be useful for stress, career decisions and day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explore your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions about pace and techniques are made collaboratively so the work fits what matters to you.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow quieter check-ins or shorter conversations when needed, and it can help people stay engaged with regular steps between meetings. The exact session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking to ensure they suit your routine and technical setup.
