James Moody

James Moody is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. He uses straightforward conversation to help clients build confidence and handle life changes. James holds BACP registration and brings six years of clinical experience to his practice.

He keeps sessions practical and focused. Conversations are shaped around what the person wants to achieve, and plans are adjusted as progress is made. James aims to make therapy a place to practise new ways of coping and relating, not just to talk about problems.

His approach draws on a mix of methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. That means he may help clients spot unhelpful thinking, clarify values, and slow down to understand emotional reactions. He uses tools and exercises when they suit the person’s goals.

James has experience supporting people with issues such as trauma, grief, addiction and ADHD. He also works with concerns around intimacy, communication and self-esteem. He treats each client as an individual and adapts the pace of work to their needs.

People who choose him often want a calm, respectful space to work through hard feelings and make practical changes. If someone wants clear steps, compassionate listening and collaboration, James offers a steady, problem-solving approach.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

James uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that suit remote sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and building small, committed steps towards those values, which can be practised between meetings. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying out alternative thinking or behaviour, often using short exercises and homework that work well when delivered online.

He also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person's own perspective at the heart of the work and relies on attentive listening and reflective dialogue. Together these approaches mean the therapist and client decide collaboratively which methods to try and adapt over time as needs change.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and saving travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or to join from a different location when needed.
