Hello, my name is James Finnegan

I am an experienced and effective psychotherapist with clinics located in Leamington Spa, and Windsor.

My approach as an anxiety specialist is grounded in a deep understanding of the complex emotional and psychological dynamics that underlie common anxiety and anxiety disorders. I integrate evidence-based techniques with a humanistic and person-centered approach, ensuring a therapeutic environment that nurtures trust, empowerment, and growth.

I am currently completing a doctorate at Warwick University, where my PhD thesis explores the emotional experience of loneliness. This advanced study enriches my therapeutic practice, allowing me to integrate the latest research and insights into our sessions.

My primary focus is helping individuals manage and overcome anxiety. Alongside this, my experience includes working closely with trauma, addiction, ADHD and autism. My approach is tailored to each person's unique journey, ensuring personalised support that addresses your specific needs and challenges.

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. 

The principles outlined above are integral to my practice as a humanistic psychotherapist specialising in anxiety. Here’s how these concepts shape my therapeutic approach:

1. Holistic Understanding: I adopt a comprehensive view, integrating psychological, social, and existential dimensions to understand clients within the broader context of their lives. This goes beyond mere symptom management, exploring their deeper experiences and challenges.

2. Personalised Treatment: Each client’s unique story is my focus, rather than reducing them to diagnostic labels. By examining their personal histories, relationships, and coping strategies, I provide a compassionate and tailored understanding of their anxiety and addiction issues.

3. Empathy and Support: I create a supportive, non-judgemental space, informed by insights into neuroticism. This safe environment enables clients to express their anxieties and fears openly. Recognising their sensitivities and vulnerabilities, I nurture their empathetic and creative abilities as strengths in their recovery.

4. Existential Exploration: I encourage clients to engage with existential questions concerning their fears, freedom, and search for meaning. This profound exploration helps them discover personal significance and purpose within their struggles.

5. Spiritual Integration: I incorporate spiritual elements into therapy, helping clients reflect on their beliefs and values. This may involve exploring their spiritual history and identifying resources that support their healing process and enhance their sense of well-being.

By integrating these dimensions, I aim to provide a compassionate, comprehensive approach to treating anxiety and addiction, aligned with the core values of humanistic psychotherapy. This method not only addresses symptoms but also supports clients on their journey towards personal growth and self-understanding.
