About James
James Henderson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression. He has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. He aims to meet people with respect and sensitivity and tailors sessions to each person's needs.
James offers a calm, steady approach in sessions. He listens to what matters to you and helps untangle difficult feelings. He explains ideas plainly and focuses on what can change day to day.
Background and approach
His main approach is psychodynamic therapy. That means he will help you explore past experiences and relationships that influence how you feel now. Together you can increase your awareness of patterns that cause distress and consider different ways of responding.
James works with both short-term and longer-term goals and can offer open-ended work when that suits a person. He adapts the pace to what feels manageable and practical for each client. Sessions are shaped around your priorities and the things you want to address.
People can use different formats for meetings, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. James accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. He encourages anyone ready to take a first step to reach out and begin a conversation.

Approaches James lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In sessions James will invite discussion about memories, relationships and emotional reactions and help make sense of how these link to present difficulties. This kind of work can be useful for depression, grief, long-standing anxiety and trauma-related problems because it builds clearer understanding rather than quick fixes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. James will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together you will decide whether psychodynamic work or another focus is the best fit. He treats this as a collaborative process and may adjust the style over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you meet face to face from different locations, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging allows ongoing written contact between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, travel or busy days.
