About James
James Henderson is a BACP-registered psychotherapist and counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression and coping with life changes, and also supports concerns around life purpose.
James uses a psychodynamic approach that looks at how past experiences and relationships shape present feelings and choices. Sessions focus on talking through patterns, feelings and memories that come up. The aim is to increase awareness of what underlies distress so people can make more considered choices in daily life.
He accepts both short-term and longer-term work and offers open-ended therapy when that suits the person. In practice James adapts the pace and focus to what the client needs at the time, whether that means an initial series of sessions to address a specific problem or a more extended period of reflection.
In sessions he often helps people untangle feelings of guilt, shame, isolation and loss, and to look at how control issues, dissociation or obsessive thoughts affect day-to-day living. He also supports those coping with ageing concerns and the emotional impact of major life changes.
James works in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. To begin he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How psychodynamic work transfers to online sessions
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns that come from past relationships and experiences. Online sessions allow the same reflective conversations about feelings, recurring behaviours and early influences that shape present choices. This approach can help with issues like grief, anxiety, shame and questions about life purpose.Alongside psychodynamic work, sessions may include open-ended discussion about emotions and relationships to increase awareness of what drives current difficulties. The therapist and client decide together which focus fits best. That collaborative choice helps match the method to the client's goals and preferences as work continues.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available online session types before booking. In general online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and offer quieter surroundings when that helps reflection. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or full conversations when more space is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can help figure out the practical setup that best suits everyday life.
