James Sussex, BACP, NCPS

James Sussex is a UK-based therapist and trainer with ten years of professional experience, accredited by BACP and NCPS. BACP is a UK professional association for counselling and psychotherapy, and NCPS is a professional accreditation that recognises clinical training and standards. He practises an integrative, evidence-informed approach rooted in humanistic and psychodynamic foundations and draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to meet each person's needs.

He works with organisations, groups, and individuals on a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma, identity issues, relationship difficulties, burnout, and many other life challenges. His broader specialties include stress, family and parenting matters, career transitions, compassion fatigue, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues, along with focused areas like abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and caregiver stress.

Clients often describe him as down-to-earth, warm, and straightforward, someone who brings clarity and calm to complex situations. In addition to one-to-one work, he delivers wellbeing and psychoeducational seminars to diverse international audiences and has held senior clinical roles within national and international organisations. He offers both longer-term therapy and Single Session Therapy (SST), aiming to create a collaborative, non-judgemental space where people feel heard, supported, and gently challenged to move forward. His work begins with each person’s story and is tailored to their goals and circumstances.
