About James
James Landy is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and problems with self-esteem. He also supports people facing intimacy-related concerns and those coping with life changes. James presents as warm and relaxed and aims to put people at ease from the first conversation.
He works in a collaborative, practical way that breaks problems down into small steps. Sessions typically look at thoughts, behaviours and patterns that keep difficulties going, and then test simple strategies that can bring relief.
Background and approach
The emphasis is on usable techniques you can try between sessions rather than long explanations. James has three years of experience as a practising counsellor and holds BACP accreditation, which he lists as his credential.
He offers help for a range of worries that include abandonment and attachment issues, communication and control problems, guilt and shame, and the fallout from infidelity or separation. People often come to him feeling isolated, empty, or stuck in cycles of avoidance or jealousy.
He also addresses practical problems such as hoarding and family conflict by working through small changes that build over time. Sessions are offered in English and James accepts international clients. Work is available in several online formats to fit different needs and schedules.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences and everyday life, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good quicker check-in or better when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options let people write at times that fit a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and keep continuity when life changes.
