About James
James Ingram is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or loss. He uses a straightforward, collaborative style so clients can talk through what matters most and work towards clearer next steps. He presents as accepting and non-judgemental, and offers care in English to people in the United Kingdom and beyond.
James draws on a mix of human-focused and structured approaches. He listens for how past relationships and life events shape current feelings, and he also uses practical tools to tackle unhelpful thinking and patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at making things more manageable day to day, not at quick fixes. He has four years of experience supporting people with grief, long-term illness, depression, loneliness and trauma. He also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, body image, sexuality and gender identity, and the effects of major life changes.
Addictions, anger, career stress and compassion fatigue are also within his remit. Clients with attachment worries, abandonment fears or communication problems may find his way of working helpful. He has experience with blended family issues, divorce and separation, and with people living with physical disabilities, hearing differences or neurodiversity such as ADHD and autism.
James is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging and accepts international clients. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session.
How his approaches work online
James blends attachment-focused work and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people understand feelings and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions and closeness, which can help with anxiety, intimacy issues and abandonment worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist listens to the person's goals and preferences, then suggests ways of working that fit those aims. This collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible access. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone calls are useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows for ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and travel, and to maintain continuity when life shifts.
