Hi I'm James  I am a British Association Counselling & Psychotherapy Accredited Counsellor, NCS Qualified Clinical Supervisor, and EMDR Europe Registered Practitioner.


I have over 10 years experience working as a professional Counsellor and 20 years of working in health and social care, education,  voluntary sectors, and the specialist field of mental capacity, mental health, and human rights. 

In addition to my work with Ocean Wellbeing, I am also employed as a Staff Counsellor at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, delivering specialist therapies such as Counselling, EMDR, and Clinical Supervisory services to support staff within the Trust as part of its Occupational Health Services.

I am highly experienced in working with complex trauma and psychological issues using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and N.I.C.E. guideline-approved Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprogramming (EMDR) therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
 

I also have extensive experience working collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, professionals, individuals, and organisations, including occupational health providers, human resources, medical deaneries, and employee assistance providers and statutory health care providers.

I am passionate about helping  clients to develop and grow personally or professionally, with the aim for them to foster greater self-awareness, self-care, to enhance their wellbeing.

My practice Ocean Wellbeing was established  in order to provide immediate, accessible, effective therapies to clients.

My aim is to reduce the impact of psychological suffering through therapy and to help people understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life.
