About

James Vanstone works with people who are experiencing psychological, emotional or spiritual suffering and welcomes those exploring whether therapy can help. He recognises that some have tried support before without success while others are seeking help for the first time, and he is glad they are taking steps toward change.

With 21 years of experience, he supports clients with relationship difficulties, bereavement, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. He also works with victimisation, bullying and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, career matters, compassion fatigue, ADHD and broader family challenges.

He aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared safely. He views the decision to seek a more fulfilling and happier life as an act of courage and offers support and empowerment throughout that journey.

His approach emphasises simple, practical strategies and building rapport quickly. He provides clients with take-away tools to encourage ongoing positive lifestyle changes that support mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. He also has experience helping couples mediate when they wish to improve their romantic or marital relationships.

His profile notes he is a male, older therapist of color and includes Christian, non-religious and liberal among his practice descriptors.
