Emma James , BACP

Emma James is a UK-based therapist with a decade of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief and a wide range of life challenges. She creates an impartial, nonjudgmental space where individuals and couples can explore their past, present and future and develop clearer ways of coping and relating. Many of her areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, eating and body image struggles, parenting and intimacy-related difficulties, work and career transitions, and the emotional impact of separation or domestic violence.

Emma trained academically with a BSc Honours in Psychology and completed a Diploma and an Advanced Diploma on a BACP-accredited counselling course. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - MBACP Reg. No.155179 - and holds additional training including EMDR module 1, Rewind Therapy, and a couples counselling certificate. She also works with the NHS Wellbeing Service (IAPT) providing short-term counselling, and maintains current professional insurance and an up-to-date DBS check.

Approaching therapy in a collaborative, client-centered way, Emma draws on attachment-based, psychodynamic and trauma-focused methods to help clients understand patterns, process painful experiences and build practical skills for managing emotions, relationships and daily life. She offers sessions through a range of remote formats to fit different needs and schedules.
