James Landy, BACP

James Landy is a warm, relaxed and empathic therapist who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people work through anxiety, depression, stress, OCD and self-esteem difficulties. He brings three years of clinical experience to a collaborative, practical style of working, combining evidence-based techniques with everyday tools to help clients make meaningful change.

He works with a broad range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, abandonment and attachment difficulties, communication and control problems, and challenges such as isolation, jealousy and forgiveness. Sessions are focused on understanding the patterns that maintain distress and on developing specific strategies to manage symptoms and improve relationships.

James is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. He aims to create a supportive space where people feel heard, understood and empowered to move forward, tailoring his CBT-informed approach to each person’s unique circumstances and goals.

CBT and Practical Skills Delivered Online

James practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a structured, evidence-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and related symptoms because it focuses on practical strategies that can be applied between sessions.

Alongside CBT, James emphasises skills-based, practical techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic methods to build coping skills and improve day-to-day functioning. These approaches focus on clear goals, collaborative problem solving and techniques clients can use to manage mood, reduce worry and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. James works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting sessions as progress is made. Online delivery - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - makes it easier to arrange appointments around work, family and travel, and helps maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
