About James Christelow

James Christelow is a registered integrative counsellor with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who brings a compassionate, adaptable approach to therapy. With five years of clinical experience, they work with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related concerns, and challenges around parenting, sleep, career and self-esteem. Their practice also includes focused work with LGBT clients, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, BDSM and kink communities, body image, chronic illness and pain, hospice and end-of-life matters, and a range of other personal and interpersonal difficulties.

James adopts an integrative style that centers the client. Sessions are rooted in a client-centered stance that emphasizes respect, empathy and positive regard, while drawing on mindfulness techniques, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused strategies to meet the needs of each person. This flexibility allows them to tailor the work to individual goals and circumstances rather than relying on a single method.

James identifies as non-binary and aims to offer a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment for exploring identity, relationships and life transitions. At present James is not accepting clients.
