About James
James Landy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. James also supports people dealing with relationship wounds such as abandonment, attachment and commitment concerns, and issues like isolation or guilt.
James uses practical, evidence-based methods in session. He focuses on clear tools and steps you can try between meetings. Conversations are collaborative and direct, with attention to patterns that keep problems going.
Sessions commonly look at unhelpful thinking, avoidance, and behaviours that feed anxiety or depression. He may help you build strategies for better communication, managing jealousy, and handling separation or divorce-related distress. Work can also include ways to manage overwhelm, control issues and hoarding impulses.
James describes his practice as informal and goal-focused. He aims to help people notice small changes that make day-to-day life easier. He also supports people who feel empty or struggle with shame and forgiveness.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
James commonly uses cognitive behavioural approaches that look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT involves spotting unhelpful thinking, testing beliefs and trying practical experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. This approach suits people dealing with worry, stress, low self-esteem and repetitive behaviours.He also draws on behavioural techniques that focus on gradual exposure and activity planning. These methods help with avoidance, overwhelm and patterns that keep problems in place, such as withdrawal or excessive control. They are straightforward to practise between sessions and aim to change what you do as well as what you think.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. James will discuss options with you and decide together which methods match your needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision helps tailor session focus and homework tasks.
