About James
James Landy is a counsellor who focuses on anxiety, stress and changes that feel hard to manage. He describes his style as warm and relaxed. He aims to offer practical help so people can feel steadier and more able to cope with day-to-day pressures.
He uses approaches grounded in evidence and works with clients on problems such as low self-esteem, depression and difficulties with intimacy. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, communication or commitment problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and focused on skills you can use between meetings. James favours a practical way of working that breaks larger problems into manageable steps. Conversations often include clear strategies to reduce anxiety and to improve how you handle difficult moments.
James has three years' experience as a therapist and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients, offering a range of online session formats. If you want a straightforward, skills-based approach to reduce stress or worry, James aims to help you identify realistic next steps.
He encourages questions and joint planning so therapy fits around your life and goals.
Evidence-informed approaches and online accessibility
James draws on cognitive behavioural approaches that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and teaching practical techniques to reduce anxiety and worry. This method breaks problems into small steps and builds skills such as managing anxious thoughts and facing feared situations in a planned way.He also uses behavioural strategies that target avoidance and help people re-engage with valued activities. These techniques are helpful for low mood, stress and feelings of emptiness because they encourage small, achievable behaviour changes that lift day-to-day functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to your goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process so you and the therapist decide together what feels most helpful over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video mirrors a face-to-face feel for in-depth work, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat can work for brief updates or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when travel or time makes in-person visits difficult.
