James Moody , BACP

James Moody is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people move through difficult moments. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, and concerns about self-esteem and motivation. He aims to offer a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk about what matters to them.

With six years of practice in the United Kingdom, James adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and attachment-focused ideas to make sense of patterns that cause pain. Sessions focus on real-life steps you can try between meetings as well as understanding how past experiences shape current feelings.

James also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue, and the everyday strains of parenting and work. He is experienced working with LGBT concerns and a wide range of relationship difficulties such as communication and commitment problems. He will discuss goals and priorities at the start so therapy stays practical and relevant.

People can expect clear, direct conversation rather than jargon. James aims to help clients build skills for coping with life changes, managing anger, and improving intimacy and connection. The emphasis is on small, steady change rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are offered in English and James accepts international clients. He holds BACP accreditation, which reflects his professional registration in the UK.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and gradually move towards valued actions. It is useful for anxiety, stress and feeling stuck when choices feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change patterns that maintain distress. It can help with anxiety, low mood and problems with confidence. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations in adult close relationships and helps people shift patterns in intimacy and communication.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan to fit what works best for the individual. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and focused on achievable steps.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and do longer sessions, phone can suit shorter check-ins and lower bandwidth, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
