James O'Riordan

I am currently taking on new clients. I work mornings, afternoons and evenings. I work in person and via zoom or a hybrid of both. I work from NG4. I seek to work with all people and respect their world view.

Hello. We will work together to explore what is holding you back in life and what the keys are to helping you move forwards. As a Gestalt trained counsellor I will pay complete attention to all that you share during our session together, both in terms of what you say but also in how you speak and how your body speaks. Together we will explore ways for you to develop a better self-dialogue and I may invite you to try some creative ways of speaking to yourself and exploring your relationship with others. Counselling can be an exciting and rewarding experience and I will offer you the supportive space for you to understand yourself, your relationships and life better. I am trained in hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming which offers practical and elegant ways to combat chronic problems, especially sleep and health issues. I offer support for people recovering from illness, operations, disease and other health issues. I use counselling and hypnotherapy to aid recovery.  I am also a life coach which can be helpful if you want support to plan more effectively your future life. We will work together weekly for 50 minutes and this can be in person or via zoom. I offer time limited and open ended counselling.

When you first come for a therapy appointment I will look to make you feel comfortable with me so that it is easier for you to explain what has been going on. I may take some notes at this point and we will speak through the contract before making future appointments. I will be committed to supporting you to explore what you need to explore to get your life into a better place. What you share with me will be treated with upmost respect and confidentiality. I will ask you about your life both now and how it was for you growing up. This way I can get a sense of the many different experiences that have made you the unique person you are today. I look for feedback and will ask you regularly how the sessions are going for you. Together we will notice the difference counselling is making for your health and well being and celebrate these milestones together.

I charge £55 for all sessions. I will ask you for contact details and details of your GP, relevant medical history including medication, your past experiences of being helped and most importantly what it is you are coming for therapy for help with. You will be made to feel welcome.
