About James
James French offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief or changes in life. He writes simply and listens closely so you can talk through what matters most. Sessions are aimed at finding practical ways forward and making sense of painful feelings.
James uses a mix of Jungian ideas, acceptance and commitment approaches, attachment-focused work and cognitive strategies. That means he pays attention to emotions and life stories, helps people notice what matters to them, and teaches skills for managing thoughts and behaviour.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided by your aims rather than a set formula. He has three years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP in his profile. James has worked with a broad range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, bereavement, sleep and eating problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
He also addresses relationship issues, intimacy-related worries and career stress. Sessions may involve short-term strategies or a longer process depending on what the person wants. James uses plain language and keeps sessions focused on workable steps, exploration of patterns, and building coping skills.
He aims to help people feel more capable between sessions. People can work with James from the United Kingdom in English, and he is open to international clients. He offers conversations by video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their life.

Online support
Approach and flexibility in online therapy
Jungian Therapy focuses on personal meaning and life stories. It pays attention to recurring themes, dreams and symbols that shape a person's experience, and can help people clarify values and purpose during life transitions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while helping people act in ways that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and coping with unwanted thoughts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. James will work with the person to test methods, notice what helps, and adjust the focus based on goals and preferences. The aim is to match tools and conversation to everyday life rather than force a single model.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy accessible around commitments. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting and travel routines while keeping the work consistent.
