Online counselling for anxiety, burnout, relationships & life transitions

For people who seem to be coping on the outside, but know something isn’t quite right underneath.



You may be managing work, relationships and responsibilities while privately feeling anxious, exhausted, disconnected or unsure about the life you’re living.

I offer confidential online counselling for adults across the UK.

Does any of this feel familiar?


Perhaps life looks reasonably successful from the outside, but maintaining it has become exhausting. You might recognise some of these experiences:

Your mind rarely switches off, and you find yourself overthinking even when there’s nothing obviously wrong.
Work has become exhausting, stressful or increasingly meaningless.
You put a lot of pressure on yourself and rarely feel that what you do is quite enough.
Your confidence has taken a knock, or you’ve become increasingly critical of yourself.
Your relationship feels strained, distant or stuck in patterns you don’t know how to change.
A career change, redundancy or other life transition has left you questioning what comes next.
You’ve become so used to being capable, dependable or looking after other people that you’ve lost touch with what you actually need.
On paper, life looks fine. Inside, it doesn’t feel that way.

If any of this resonates, you’re not broken — and you’re not alone.


You don’t need a diagnosis or a perfectly formed explanation before beginning counselling.


Sometimes all you know is that something needs to change.

That’s enough to start.

I’m James – a BACP Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor based in the UK.

I work with people who appear to be coping on the outside. However, underneath that surface, many feel anxious, burnt out, lost, or quietly overwhelmed.

In other words:

– A diagnosis isn’t required.
– Finding the “right words” isn’t necessary.
– Instead, you simply need a safe space to start.

What Our Sessions Will Be Like

A calm, confidential space where you won’t be judged or analysed

A therapist who listens deeply, rather than rushing to “fix” you

Space to talk freely, at your pace

Support to understand thoughts, emotions, and patterns

Practical grounding tools when things feel overwhelming

A warm, grounded, human approach

Importantly, I work in a person-centred way, which means our sessions are shaped around you — not a rigid programme.

Some people come with a clear goal.

For others, there’s simply a sense that something isn’t right.

Ultimately, both are welcome.
