James Window

I am a fully qualified therapeutic counsellor and member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). My time is currently split between working as a group facilitator and counsellor at a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation treatment centre, seeing clients online and from my practice in Kings Hill, Kent.

My core training is in Person-Centred Therapy and I will draw on various other approaches to best suit each individual’s needs. Each session will be guided by you and we will move at a pace that feels appropriate. I will not judge you, no matter what you bring to your sessions. I will provide a safe and confidential space that allows you to explore your thoughts and feelings and I will not pressure you to explore anything you do not wish to. Counselling can give you greater personal insight, and I will support you in finding solutions to the difficulties you are currently experiencing. My aim is to help you create lasting change and help you to utilise your own resources moving forward.

I have Professional Liability Insurance and DBS clearance. I am a voluntary member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy). This means I adhere to their code of ethics and professional standards. I undergo regular supervision and engage in CPD (Continuing Professional Development), to ensure I am providing the best service possible to my clients.

I have experience working with a broad range of individuals experiencing difficulties in some of the following areas:

• Anxiety and depression
• Addiction, both behavioural and substance based
• Relationship difficulties and everyday life problems
• Adverse childhood experiences
• Low self-esteem and self-worth
• Difficulty regulating emotional experiences
• Existential issues, such as loss of or search for meaning and purpose
• Obsessive and compulsive behaviours
