James Ingram, BACP

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at how people connect, respond to loss and manage fears of abandonment, which can help with relationship and attachment issues. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of the conversation and builds change through empathic listening and acceptance. It helps people who need a supportive space to explore identity, self-esteem and emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, examines unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical ways to change them, useful for anxiety, depression and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. James will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. This is collaborative - he checks what helps and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people communicate in writing between or instead of live meetings, which can suit those who prefer typing or need to fit therapy around shifts and busy days. Registered or accredited professionals provide these formats so people can choose what works best for them.
