About James
James Harvey is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, family issues, trauma and grief. He also supports people dealing with ADHD and autism spectrum concerns.
James emphasises that each person knows their own story and strengths. He keeps sessions direct and practical, helping clients notice thoughts and habits that make problems worse. Conversations often focus on everyday changes that lead to clearer thinking and steadier coping.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and actions, client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person, and psychodynamic ideas to consider how past experiences can affect current feelings. Sessions are used to try out different ways of responding and to build up small, manageable steps forward.
James has worked with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, communication and control problems, and separation or divorce. He also supports people with fatherhood concerns, drug and alcohol addiction, and feelings of guilt, shame or isolation.
People who want direct, structured help with everyday thinking and behaviour may find his style useful. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
James draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and test thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day habits. He also uses client-centred methods which focus on the person's priorities and what they want to change. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice patterns that may come from past relationships and how those patterns show up now.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on their goals, practical needs and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as progress is made and priorities shift.
The biography does not list session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep regular contact and to practise behavioural changes in daily life.
