Let’s work together so you can learn to be kinder to yourself
After all, if that’s not the aim of therapy then really, what’s the point? I’m James, I’m a Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist at JW Therapy and it’s my goal, above all else, to help people with anxiety to get to know themselves better.
Book an initial consultation with me and you’ll be given space to discuss your goals, intentions and feelings around therapy, and I work hard to make sure I create the safest environment for you to explore your own emotions.
Booking a Session
I offer a free initial 15-minute consultation, giving you the chance to ask any questions about your treatment, discuss your goals, and explore how we can support you on your journey to overcoming stress and anxiety.
Standard online psychotherapy/hypnotherapy sessions are 50 minutes long and cost £50 each, or you can choose a block of four sessions for £190. For face-to-face, a further £5 per session is added to account for room hire, or £200 for the block.
If you’re already signed up for a package or are an existing client, you can book your 50-minute appointment directly through the booking system.

James helped me overcome procrastination that was affecting my business and personal life. The procrastination was impacting my mental health because of the added stress of putting tasks off. I found him to be knowledgeable and professional. Within 4 weeks I am more productive and happier I can’t thank James enough.

Therapy Vault has been a brilliant support for me over our sessions together. He has a brilliant, calming demeanour that instantly put me at ease. This was particularly important as I was initially anxious about beginning hypnotherapy. During the sessions, James really listened and was able to fully understand my range of worries and concerns. This allowed him to tailor my sessions to my needs and this continued as an evolving process throughout my sessions. Each week I gained a huge sense of achievement as it felt we really tackled my problems. I would recommend utilising this service if you have any hang ups or issues you are wanting to work through to continue to self improve.

They create a very safe and judgement free space. I feel like I’m able to talk completely openly and feel heard and understood. Hypnotherapy is helping me to overcome issues I have and James is helping me to make a real difference in my life.

Can thoroughly recommend James! He is very supportive and made me feel at ease during our sessions. He has really helped me to make positive progress in a short space of time.

Punctual and professional with every meeting, efficient with note taking that it didn’t interrupt the flow of conversation and enabled us to continue across sessions with ease
-
James has increased my understanding of my own feelings, and explained why I behave in certain ways, due to past traumas. Without his help, I wouldnt have acknowledged that there is past trauma causing me to act a certain way, this is good to know as now I can understand my feelings and behaviours and try change them for the better.
-
James is incredibly compassionate, insightful and easy to talk to. I always feel heard, supported, and challenged in the best way. His approach is thoughtful and grounded, and our sessions made a meaningful difference in my life. I can’t recommend him enough!
-
James has been incredibly supportive and helpful to me in such a short period of time. Not only is he an amazing therapist, but also an all-around lovely human being. I knew I needed therapy, but finding the right therapist felt overwhelming and daunting, until I met James. He was so easygoing and approachable, making the process feel much less intimidating. He has shown a deep understanding of what he was talking about. And really knowledgeable on different techniques, strategies and therapy models
-
James is one of the kindest and most understanding people you will ever meet. He helped me open up and address some of the most difficult subjects in a safe and gentle way. He has been a great help and a pleasure to talk to.

Before I met James I was in such a horrible place. I was feeling like I was trapped in a bubble I just saw no way of bursting it. This made me sad & upset not knowing what to do also fearing no one would be able to help me. However, in the space of 5 weeks with the encouragement and support from James who is one of the most compassionate and kindest people you will ever meet I have now burst that bubble and for the first time in a long time I am now starting to see glimpses of the old me coming back out & slowly getting that smile back on my face. He is so easy to get along with & also approachable as well as being so caring which is such a key quality to have in a therapist. James has also helped me overcome procrastination over a huge decision I finally made this week that was affecting both my business and personal life. The procrastination was impacting my mental health because of the added stress of putting tasks off. This has given me a new found confidence to take on a new challenge which I'm now doing. I found him to be not only knowledgeable but also understanding & professional. Within 5 weeks I am now so much more productive and happier & I honestly can’t thank James enough for this as if it wasn't for him I would still be where I was before I started working with him.
FAQs

I offer counselling, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy for a range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, phobias, sleep issues and stress.
Every client has different needs, which is why I offer a free fifteen minute consultation where I can either explain the support that I can provide, or to guide you in the direction of someone who can offer the appropriate support.

Counseling and psychotherapy are both talking therapies that help mental well-being. Counseling usually focuses on specific, short-term problems (like grief or stress). Psychotherapy treats deeper, long-term emotional issues or past trauma.
-
It’s important that you can access as much peace and quiet as possible to allow you to fully relax into your session, so alongside online work, I offer a location in Leeds City Centre. This comes at an additional cost of £5 as the room is a pay-per-use rental space located opposite the Grand Theatre in Leeds.

There are several studies that suggest that hypnotherapy online has an almost identical outcome to face-to-face. From experience, it’s dependent on how much space you can get and whether you can feel genuinely like you’ll be free from unplanned interruptions. These can largely be avoided in face-to-face sessions in a way that is controlled by the hypnotherapist.
Much like any talk therapy, if you don’t feel like you’re in a space that you can talk comfortably, then it’ll be less effective, but we’ve got lots of positive reviews from online work up to this point.

I’m very much of the view that every person arrives with their own context and quite often the treatment plan can be fluid and work around what comes up and what works best for you on an individual basis. I work in an integrative/pluralistic way, which means I draw on several modalities including psychodynamic (the one that looks at childhood), person centred (the one that looks at you in your context today) and CBT (the one that addresses your thinking patterns) as well as incorporating hypnotherapy when it makes sense.
