About James
James Moody is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy difficulties, low self-esteem, motivation issues and life transitions. He also lists work around addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and grief.
James keeps sessions direct and conversational. He listens to what matters most and helps people put words to patterns they recognise. He uses straightforward techniques from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-focused ideas.
In the room he helps people notice where they keep putting others first. He talks through setting boundaries, managing emotions like anger and grief, and rebuilding a sense of self after a tough relationship or period of caring. He also supports people coping with workplace stress, compassion fatigue and the strain of parenting.
James draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and intimacy are central to the issue. He uses Client-Centred methods to centre the conversation on each person’s priorities. Sessions aim to turn understanding into steps that can fit into daily life.
He works with additional concerns such as attachment issues, body image, codependency and communication problems. People planning to start therapy are encouraged to complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial appointment to discuss goals and practical next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
James works with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match your values, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can be useful when intimacy, trust or codependency feel stuck.Choosing an approach is part of the work. James will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to your goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and practical, aiming to find ways of working that you can use outside sessions.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or removing the need to be on camera for every session. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session length and style to suit day-to-day routines while focusing on relationship patterns, boundaries and emotional regulation.
