Dr. Lara James

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a UK-based counsellor, fully qualified to practice (Prof. Dip. Psy. C.) and am a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. MNCPS (Acc.)
Integrative counselling draws upon various disciplines in the field of psychotherapeutic practice. This means that I take a person-centred (humanistic) approach to my work, but may also draw upon psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural theories and methods. Additionally I use creative ideas within my practice so that our work may include activities beyond talking and listening, enabling a more flexible and holistic approach to counselling therapy. I provide you with a confidential, non-judgmental place to talk and provide support to a wide range of clients with an equally wide range of therapeutic needs. Examples include:
Depression, anxiety, clients with high functioning ASD and other neurodivergence; relationships; workplace difficulties, unemployment/underemployment; stalking; physical, psychological and sexual abuse; traumatic events; impacts of crime and more.
Get in touch, and let’s talk about how we could work together.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can genuinely help. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes – online therapy is often as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best – via video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.

Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be better.
