James Crossland:
Integrative Counsellor (BACP)
Firstly, I’d like to extend a warm welcome. My name is James Crossland and I believe in the power of being heard and given the right conditions you can flourish and grow.
I aim to provide those conditions and deliver the space for you to be heard.
During our sessions, I promise to listen carefully without imposing any judgment or values and help you understand and make sense of your issues.
Then working collaboratively, we can explore the strategies to help you navigate your problems, and help you move forward with your life.
What I specialise In:
Through my integrative approach, I have helped clients deal with the following problems.
– Low self-esteem/insecurities – Anxiety, stress, and depression
– Mid-life crisis, life transitions
– Relationship difficulties
– Identity crisis
– Family problems
– Attachment issues, avoidant, anxious attachment
– Issues from the past impacting the here and now
– Insecurities
– Addictions
– Work-life balance/career goals
– Sexuality / sexual identity
I am committed to working on any of these issues at a pace that aligns with your comfort and needs.
My Approach to Counselling:
I view counselling as a highly personal and confidential form of support, and, in my role as your counsellor, I would provide you with the space to express your concerns and explore alternative coping strategies.
With my support, you can determine the most suitable approach to resolving your difficulties. The primary goal of our sessions is to offer you an opportunity to enhance the quality of your life by addressing your issues organically as they surface during our interactions.
My Perspective Towards Counselling:
I hold the belief that meaningful change occurs when clients and counsellors collaborate as a team. In my perspective, counselling is a creative and collaborative journey that fosters personal growth and enhancement.
Utilizing a creative integrative approach, I craft a unique framework tailored to your needs, drawing from cognitive, psychodynamic, and humanistic modalities.
