About me and my therapy practice

Hello, my name is James, and my counselling service is called Inner Insight Counselling. I'm passionate in supporting individuals to gain a deeper insight and understanding into their lives. Because we're all unique with different needs and approaches to life, my therapy services will reflect your individuality - as an integrative counsellor I use a range of counselling skills and methodologies to best suit your needs.

I believe everyone has the ability to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, to grow, and to heal. To do this, we鈥檒l work together to create a therapeutic relationship - this is where the healing can really begin as this will help you to feel safe and empowered, leading you to make better sense of life and leaving you feeling more able to make your own decisions. I believe in the power of an individual's inner strength - I will listen to you and give you space to find this strength. I will use my training and experience, but also my humanity and personality 鈥� I care about individuals, and want to provide an environment where people feel accepted and heard.

I also offer Rewind Therapy for trauma (online sessions, delivered normally over no more than two sessions to bring about closure for single traumas). It is an effective technique for managing the impact of trauma, PTSD, flashbacks, and involuntary thoughts. It is an imagery-based technique used to help process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories. This therapy has a success rate of over 85%, and results are long-lasting.

You can find out more about my experience and counselling approach as you scroll down this page.

Practice description

We鈥檒l embark on a journey together where I follow you along the pathway of your life. You鈥檒l help me understand the pathway we鈥檙e walking down, what the surroundings look like, and what the journey feels like.

When we come to any crossroads, we鈥檒l look at what lies ahead 鈥� we鈥檒l work towards empowering you to make a decision about which route feels the most comfortable to follow. This might include focussing on how to reframe how you think about approaching the next path in front of you. There will be times when we look back along the path you鈥檝e walked, helping us to make sense of all the twists and turns that has brought you to this point. At times the journey might not make sense, and you might even feel unsure about what choices you have made whilst on your journey.

Others might have accompanied you on the journey until now, with others joining you further along the path. Some of these relationships might help your journey, others might hinder your journey.

Regardless of how long we work together, I hope you鈥檙e able to take strength from the experience to help you as you progress along your own path.

Rewind Therapy for trauma

Rewind therapy can be a powerful tool for:

Reducing emotional distress and flashbacks associated with trauma.
Regaining a sense of control over your traumatic experiences.
Promoting a sense of closure and emotional healing.

More details about Rewind Therapy can be found on my website. It outlines how the approach works, and what you can expect from the sessions.

My first session

Session rates are as follows:

拢45 per session for telephone and online counselling for trainee counsellors
拢50 per session for telephone and online counselling
拢55 per session for face-to-face Counselling. These sessions take place at Kent Wellbeing Hub, Farthing Corner, Medway Services, ME8 8PQ
拢65 per session for Rewind Therapy for trauma (online sessions, delivered normally over no more than two sessions to bring about closure for single traumas)

Sessions are 50 minutes long. Counselling can be short-term or long-term. Although most people will have a weekly session, we can discuss whatever frequency works best for you.

Choosing a counsellor can be a difficult process - I offer a free 10 minute introduction call so we can discuss what you're hoping to get from counselling, as well as giving you space to ask any questions. Get in touch for further details.
