About James
BACP. Six years' professional experience. James Moody works with people facing stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. He also helps with intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Sessions address practical problems as well as emotional patterns.
James uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). He explains these methods in straightforward terms and uses them to help people notice patterns, test new ways of coping and build more helpful habits. The work tends to be conversational and focused on what the client wants to change.
Areas of focus include addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career concerns and compassion fatigue. He also lists work around parenting, blended family issues, communication problems and body image. Additional topics include abandonment, attachment issues, dissociation and difficulties linked to personality styles such as avoidant or dependent patterns.
James works with clients concerned about divorce and separation, domestic violence and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). He supports people in LGBT communities and those dealing with ADHD related matters. Practical coping strategies and clearer understanding of relationship patterns are common aims in sessions.
Sessions are offered in English. James accepts international clients. He asks people to use the platform process to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, stress and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and change patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, mood and practical problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and communication, and can help with intimacy and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. James will discuss different methods with each person and agree a way forward based on their goals, practical needs and preferences. The therapeutic plan can change as progress is made or as priorities shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel and can reduce time spent reaching an appointment. Some formats - for example shorter phone check-ins or video sessions - may suit specific needs such as less intensive contact or needing a session without being on camera, but check which of these the counsellor currently offers before scheduling.
