About James
James Morrell is a Person Centred counsellor with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He describes his approach as humanistic and focuses on each person’s experience and needs. He aims to offer a calm space where someone can talk through what matters to them and begin to untangle difficult feelings. James writes in a straightforward way and often addresses common barriers men face when seeking help.
He draws on several therapy models alongside the Person Centred framework to match what each person needs. That can include ideas from psychodynamic thinking, attachment-based work and solution-focused strategies. Sessions tend to centre on listening, understanding patterns, and helping someone try new ways of responding to old problems. Practical topics he addresses include anxiety, depression, addictions, grief and issues around identity and intimacy.
James has six years of experience working with a broad range of concerns. He pays particular attention to how cultural expectations and gender norms can shape the therapy experience. This means he checks in about a person’s background and how that influences their feelings and relationships.
He also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, abandonment and attachment difficulties, and caregiver stress. James encourages exploring addictive behaviours without shame and aims to help people develop greater self-acceptance and control over choices.
Sessions are offered in English and James works with people in the United Kingdom as well as internationally. He explains his methods clearly and aims to work at a pace that suits each person.
How his therapeutic approaches work online
James draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships influence present feelings and behaviour. That approach helps when difficulties involve trust, separation, or patterns that repeat between people.He also practises Client-Centred Therapy which puts the person’s perspective at the heart of each session. This means listening closely, reflecting back what is said, and shaping the work around the client’s goals rather than following a strict protocol.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. James will talk with the client about what feels most relevant and try different ways of working until something clicks. Decisions about methods and pace are made collaboratively based on needs, goals and personal preference.
For practicalities, please confirm the session formats available before booking as the profile does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow people to join from different locations. It can also support shorter check-ins when needed or offer options that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tools and exercises for remote work so the same therapeutic ideas can be used even when you are not meeting in person.
