James Blackall

I offer sessions Monday to Friday 0730 to 1930.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed or anxious, you might be wondering why you have these feelings.

Maybe you are in a relationship that doesn鈥檛 feel safe? Or you feel like there is something missing in your life?

Have you always had to be the strong one? Do you adopt the role of fixer, or peacemaker?

Have these things left you feeling exhausted & unable to just say 鈥淪TOP!鈥�.

I offer a warm, safe, down-to-earth space for people who feel stuck in survival mode - numb, constantly overthinking, or quietly struggling behind a capable exterior.

My style is supportive, honest & real. I work actively & alongside you, helping you identify patterns of behaviour, make sense of why you keep ending up in the same situations, & understand why you struggle to trust yourself.

My work is shaped by both professional training & lived experience. I know what it feels like to have the foundations beneath you disappear. Maybe a tough divorce, redundancy or being in a relationship that doesn鈥檛 feel emotionally safe.

I also understand the reality of people-pleasing, & what it鈥檚 like to lose your sense of self over time.

I have strong working-class roots, & bring no judgement or labels 鈥� it鈥檚 about real change at a pace that suits you.

HOW I WORK

I work on the premise that you have the answers within; you just need help to tease those answers out.

I also pay close attention to how your past still shows up in the present 鈥� in your nervous system, your confidence, your boundaries, & your relationships.

My approach is compassionate, non-judgemental, & at a pace that feels safe.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Therapy with me is a space where you can stop performing, stop coping, & start feeling like yourself again.

Clients often describe me as warm, grounded & easy to talk to. 

You can choose from online or face-to-face sessions in a warm & welcoming practice in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire.

Alternatively, we can get outside & walk & talk.

Choosing the right counsellor for you is a very personal decision. Finding the counsellor who you feel comfortable with is essential for you to get the most from your sessions.

I offer a free introductory call, which will give you the opportunity to see whether you feel comfortable talking to me. There is no obligation to continue after the initial call.

Your call and all subsequent sessions are confidential.
