About James
BACP accredited member, Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy, six years' experience. James Morrell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works from a person-centred, humanistic perspective. He focuses on what clients are experiencing and what they say they need, using talk-based therapy to help them understand their feelings and choices.
James uses the person-centred framework as his main approach while drawing on other methods when useful. He references psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused strategies, and attachment-related thinking to support different concerns. Typical issues he works on include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, self-esteem and sleep problems.
He pays particular attention to how gender and culture shape a person's experience of counselling. James reflects on the ways men sometimes find therapy hard to access and aims to discuss masculine roles and expectations without judgement. He also aims to incorporate cultural awareness into sessions and to respect diverse backgrounds.
When working with people facing addictive behaviours he invites exploration of the meaning of the behaviour and the role it plays in the person's life. He helps clients consider how to move from shame toward greater self-acceptance and more autonomy in choices around substance or behavioural use.
Sessions are conversational and client-led, with the counsellor listening and responding rather than directing. He encourages open discussion about aims for counselling and about which methods might suit each person's situation.
James has six years' practice experience and offers counselling in English. International clients are accepted; please confirm current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
James commonly works from a person-centred perspective and uses attachment-based ideas and mindfulness-influenced practices alongside it. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and following what the client brings, helping people put words to their experience and decide on goals that matter to them.Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships influence current patterns, which can help when people struggle with intimacy, trust or repeated relationship problems. Mindfulness-informed work introduces simple awareness practices and present-moment noticing to help with anxiety, stress and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative conversation helps to shape the focus of sessions as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and can reduce the need for commuting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when circumstances call for them, or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the formats offered by the counsellor.
