To discuss current availability for counselling sessions please make contact via this site or via the contact page on the website.

Once agreed, it is preferred that counselling sessions continue at the same time and day of the week for the duration of your therapy with me. 

If I am able to support you through a counselling process, but I am unable to offer you a regular slot immediately, I can put you on a waiting list and contact you as soon as a place becomes free. You may then decide whether or not you still require the service. 

Hello, I am James, from Adult Counselling Therapy Ltd (ACT). I offer a safe and supportive space to help you to explore and navigate life's challenges either in-person or via online sessions. 

I understand you might be feeling overwhelmed presently, and life may be difficult to the point you don't know where to turn, or you might be struggling to make sense of what is going on for you.

Have you noticed that your behaviour is having a negative impact on you and the people around you, but you don't understand why? Are your thoughts, feelings and emotions difficult to understand or control? 

I am passionate about helping improve mental health. I believe that with the right support, you can break free from limiting beliefs, heal past wounds, and create a fulfilling life.

Adult Counselling Therapy Ltd is a one-to-one, fully insured counselling service based in Stockbridge, in the heart of the Test Valley, between Winchester, Andover, Romsey and Salisbury. The relaxed purpose built setting enables you to share personal problematic or traumatic experiences, thoughts and feelings, in a safe and confidential environment.

(see privacy and confidentiality page for details at www.adultcounsellingtherapy.co.uk). 

My counselling service is for anyone over the age of 18 and my client's well-being is at the heart of our time together. 

(check out my website www.adultcounsellingtherapy.co.uk for further details including terms of service).

My extensive experience working in multiple industries particularly my 20 year career in a public sector role, linked with varied personal experience make me someone who can listen to you without judgement, without opinion and with unconditional positive regard, congruence and empathy to help you navigate and process what is going on for you.

So if you are ready to take the step, I am here to support you.  

The first session will include a review of our working contract and I will ask you to complete an overview assessment form (Core10) which involves answering ten quick questions to help me understand the current difficulties you are experiencing. I will also ask you to complete the same form during our final session together, to monitor the progress made.

If during the session there is a clear need for help I cannot provide, I would always take the ethical position to provide you, the client, with opportunities to attain further help and provide suitable information to make those arrangements.
