Dr. Lara James is a UK-based counsellor who holds a professional diploma in psychology and counselling (Prof. Dip. Psy. C.) and is a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, MNCPS (Acc.).
She practises integrative counselling, taking a person-centred humanistic approach while drawing on psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural theories and methods where appropriate.
Her work also incorporates creative techniques so sessions can include activities beyond talking and listening, offering a flexible and holistic approach to therapy.
Dr. James provides a non-judgemental space to support a wide range of needs, including depression, anxiety, clients with high functioning ASD and other neurodivergence, relationships, workplace difficulties, unemployment and underemployment, stalking, physical, psychological and sexual abuse, traumatic events, impacts of crime and more.
With three years of clinical experience, she welcomes contact from people who would like to discuss how they might work together.
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.
