Individual therapy Drawing on a range of complementary approaches, such as Person-centred, Psychodynamic, Systemic, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), James will collaborate with you to reframe how you experience challenging areas of your life. Change comes about in psychotherapy through processing your emotions, which in turn strengthens your inner sense of direction, self- esteem and self-resilience.
