James Harvey, NCPS

James Harvey, NCPS, works with adults who are dealing with stress, low mood, anxiety and life changes. He also helps people facing addiction, parenting strains, relationship worries and issues around self-esteem and confidence. James supports those exploring ADHD and autism related concerns and people managing grief or trauma.

James uses approachable language and lets people lead the story of their lives. He sees each person as having strengths to build on. His style is calm and steady, and he aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

In sessions he draws on client-centred work that puts the person’s experience at the centre. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and psychodynamic ideas to understand longer-running themes from the past. These approaches are blended to suit what each person needs.

James has five years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. He practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including for international clients. Practical matters such as cost are handled via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To start, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a session according to the therapist’s availability. James aims to help people feel more confident in taking steps forward and managing day-to-day challenges.

Online therapy approaches and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the person find their own solutions; this works well for building confidence and understanding personal values.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns and offers practical techniques to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with habits like addictive behaviours.

Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to recurring patterns that come from past relationships and experiences. This can help when someone wants to understand why they repeat certain behaviours or struggle with long-standing issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt methods as therapy progresses.

If you are thinking about online therapy, please confirm which session formats James currently offers before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions around work or family life easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to access support from elsewhere in the UK or internationally if that is helpful.
