James Henderson

James Henderson, BACP counsellor, has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. He also pays attention to issues such as loneliness, self-blame, obsessive thoughts and difficulties with control or dissociation.

He uses a psychodynamic approach that looks at how past experiences and relationships affect present feelings and choices. Sessions focus on talking through patterns that keep causing pain and on increasing awareness of what drives those patterns. This helps people make more considered decisions about their next steps.

James offers both short-term and longer-term work. He also provides open-ended therapy when ongoing exploration is helpful. His way of working is conversational and investigative - clients can expect to reflect on memories, reactions and relationships as part of the process.

Appointments are organised through an online matching and scheduling system that uses a subscription which can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English, and international clients are accepted. Costs vary with location, so James and the service use a location-based fee structure.

Before a first session clients complete a short questionnaire to help match on goals and preferences. That initial material then informs a first meeting where priorities and the likely shape of therapy are agreed. This makes it easier to move straight into the issues that matter most.

How Psychodynamic Work Translates to Online Sessions

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how earlier experiences and relationships shape current thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In practice this means talking about memories, recurring reactions and relationship patterns to make them easier to notice and manage. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, trauma-related symptoms and long-standing patterns that leave someone feeling stuck.

Online sessions can follow the same psychodynamic rhythm as in-person work. The therapist will listen for repeated themes and will invite reflection on how past events influence present choices. That process is collaborative - the therapist and client will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the approach as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific remote formats. Please confirm which session types are available before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions around work or family commitments, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these options, and James will help decide which format suits practical needs and therapeutic goals.
