About James
James Morrell is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. He holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He draws on straightforward conversation to help people understand what they need and what matters to them.
His approach is practical and down to earth. Sessions focus on what a person is feeling and experiencing right now.
Background and approach
He listens without judgement and helps people name difficult feelings and patterns that get in the way of living well. James uses ideas from attachment work and mindfulness alongside person-centred principles. He also borrows techniques from existential and solution-focused thinking when these fit a person’s goals.
The aim is to shape therapy around each person, not to follow a one-size-fits-all script. He has six years of experience working with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addictions. He also supports people with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, ADHD and career stress among other worries.
James is comfortable talking about how gender and culture shape people’s lives. He pays attention to how social expectations affect men and to the extra barriers some minority groups face when seeking help. His style is conversational and respectful, inviting people to explore difficult topics at their own pace.

How his approaches work online
James uses person-centred counselling to build a collaborative conversation where the client's experience sets the agenda. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting feelings and helping people discover what they want to change. It suits people who need time to explore their thoughts and emotions.He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Attachment work helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeat relationship difficulties. Mindfulness techniques are used to bring gentle attention to thoughts and feelings, helping people manage stress and ground themselves during moments of overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. He will work with each person to decide which ideas fit their goals and preferences. Sessions are adapted over time so therapy stays relevant to what the person wants to achieve.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or have lower bandwidth, live chat allows quicker exchanges and text messaging can support short check-ins or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping treatment flexible.
