About James

James Moody is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on a mix of conversational and evidence-informed approaches to help people tackle worry, stress and relationship strain. He works with issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation, intimacy concerns and addiction. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk and be heard.

With six years of professional experience, he adapts sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Background and approach

He often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-focused ideas to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions are practical and grounded in everyday life, with tools you can use between meetings. James also supports people facing grief, trauma, parenting stress and career pressures.

He pays attention to how past relationships shape present reactions and works on improving communication and emotional connection. He offers straightforward strategies for coping and building clearer boundaries. People can expect a collaborative style where goals are agreed together and progress is reviewed.

James uses phone calls, video sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so working together can fit into busy schedules. He offers work in English and accepts international clients. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Ways of working James names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Using ACT, CBT and attachment ideas in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often suits stress, anxiety and problems with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating and communicating, which can aid intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. James will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then decide together which methods to try. That means therapy is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so therapy can fit around work, family and travel. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat work well for shorter check-ins or between-session support. These options increase flexibility and make it possible to continue work from different locations while using familiar therapeutic approaches.
