James Landy

James Landy is a warm, relaxed counsellor who works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress and self-esteem struggles. He uses a practical, collaborative approach to help people see what they can change. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on tools that make day-to-day life easier.

James offers cognitive behavioural methods in a way that feels down-to-earth and approachable. He keeps sessions collaborative, working with each person to set small, achievable goals. The work often involves noticing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours between meetings.

With three years of experience, James brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. He emphasises clear steps and skills people can use straight away, alongside space to talk about difficult emotions. This helps people feel more in control as they face life changes such as separation or divorce.

He also supports people dealing with relationship concerns like intimacy, commitment worries, jealousy and communication problems. Other focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, guilt and shame, hoarding and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are offered in English and James works with people based in the United Kingdom and internationally. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and draws on evidence-based CBT methods paired with a warm, empathetic style.

How CBT approaches work online and what to expect

James typically uses cognitive behavioural approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. This approach helps people spot patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and then try practical experiments to test different ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for stress, depression, self-esteem concerns and many day-to-day problems.

He also uses brief, goal-focused techniques that help break issues into manageable steps. These techniques often involve setting small homework tasks between sessions so progress can be tracked. They are helpful for adapting to life changes such as separation and for building steady routines after disruption.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and test what feels most helpful for the person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that adjusts over time as goals change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family commitments and travel. It can reduce time spent travelling and let people have shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, helping therapy slot into everyday life.
