About me and my therapy practice
Welcome. If you’re here, you’re ready to face your anxiety and other challenges with both determination and guidance.
I offer you a gentle hand with strong support.
I’m James Finnegan, an anxiety specialist dedicated to guiding you through the complexities of anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, low self-esteem, family issues, and low self-confidence and addiction. My approach combines deep empathy with practical strategies, creating a space where meaningful change is not only possible but achievable.
As Freud famously said, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” While he may have been talking about the importance of not overcomplicating things, the underlying message resonates: simplicity and clarity can be powerful tools in understanding ourselves. My aim is to help you cut through the noise and address the core issues affecting your well-being with straightforward, effective solutions.
I’m currently completing a PhD at Warwick University, where my doctoral research on the emotional experience of loneliness provides additional depth to my practice. This research ensures that our work together is informed by the latest psychological insights, while still maintaining a practical focus on your specific needs.
Therapy with me is about more than just symptom management; it’s about creating a supportive environment where you feel empowered to face your challenges directly. Together, we’ll work on building resilience, boosting self-confidence, and navigating family dynamics with clarity and strength.
If you’re ready to tackle your anxiety and other concerns with a blend of kindness, insight, and a touch of challenge, I’m here to support you.
Practice description
My experience:
I have seven years of experience working therapeutically with individuals and groups, focusing on anxiety, addictions, and trauma. My work has involved supporting adults with substance use disorders, behavioural addictions, psychological disorders, and underlying psychotherapeutic needs.
In addition to my private practice, I regularly provide my services in homeless shelters, addiction services, and schools. I take pride in maintaining up-to-date knowledge of evidence-based research and contemporary psychotherapeutic techniques.
I am trained in humanistic therapy, specifically existential and person-centred approaches, and integrate contemporary therapeutic techniques. While my primary training is in Rogerian person-centred therapy, I also draw inspiration from Freudian and Jungian practices.
