Inner Insight Counselling

Reaching out for counselling can feel daunting. I provide a safe, confidential, and understanding space for you to explore whatever challenges you're facing. You don't have to carry it all alone. Together, we can find a way through things, working at your pace to build the life you deserve.

Meet your counsellor

Hello, I'm James! 


Are you seeking a deeper understanding of yourself and a clearer path forward? Life's challenges can feel overwhelming, whether they manifest as anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. I'd like to reassure you that there is a space where you can explore these feelings and work towards lasting change. I am passionate about creating that supportive environment for you. Recognising your unique experiences, I practice as an integrative counsellor, which means our sessions will be as individual as you are. Together, we will draw upon a range of therapeutic techniques to build the right approach for you.


I start with the core belief that you already possess the strength for self-discovery, growth, and healing. The foundation of our work is a partnership - a deep therapeutic relationship built to help you feel safe, truly heard, and empowered. This connection is fundamental to making sense of your experiences and building confidence in your own choices. I will hold a space for you to connect with your inner wisdom whilst listening deeply to your story and identity, and to offer both my professional expertise and my genuine humanity.


The next step is yours to take, whenever you feel ready. If you're ready to talk, I'm ready to listen. Let's embark on your journey of self-discovery, and I'll be by your side to support you.


Although I am based in Gillingham in Medway, online and telephone counselling makes therapy accessible for people across Kent, and even the rest of the UK.

Welcome to Inner Insight Counselling

You might be reaching out for counselling because you're struggling with your mental health. Perhaps life is feeling overwhelming. Or you just need a safe space to get things off your chest. However complicated, difficult, or upsetting things might be, there's support available for you from Inner Insight Counselling.


We’ll embark on a journey together where I follow you along the pathway of your life. You’ll help me understand the pathway we’re walking down, what the surroundings look like, and what the journey feels like. 


When we come to any crossroads, we’ll look at what lies ahead – we’ll work towards empowering you to make a decision about which route feels the most comfortable to follow. This might include focussing on how to reframe how you think about approaching the next path in front of you. There will be times when we look back along the path you’ve walked, helping us to make sense of all the twists and turns that has brought you to this point. At times the journey might not make sense, and you might even feel unsure about what choices you have made whilst on your journey. 


Others might have accompanied you on the journey until now, with others joining you further along the path. Some of these relationships might help your journey, others might hinder your journey. 


Regardless of how long we work together, I hope you’re able to take strength from the experience to help you as you progress along your own path.
