About James
James Moody uses practical, person-centred therapy to help people move through difficult periods. He draws on methods that focus on values, thoughts and close relationships. James speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel like a steady, non-judgemental conversation.
He has six years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. James helps people who are anxious or stressed, struggling with self-esteem, facing grief or major life changes, or working through issues around intimacy and relationships.
Background and approach
Parenting concerns are part of his focus and he supports parents who are finding the role overwhelming or confusing. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. James blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive approaches with attachment-informed listening.
That means attention to values, practical steps for unhelpful thinking patterns, and how close relationships affect everyday life. He also works with people affected by trauma, addiction, anger, compassion fatigue and career-related stress. Additional areas include codependency, communication problems, attachment issues and body image concerns.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with tools you can use between sessions. James offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. He takes a collaborative approach to planning sessions and checks in often to make sure the work fits your goals.
If you want a straightforward conversational style with practical ideas, he may be a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps in that direction. It helps when worry, avoidance or stuck patterns are getting in the way of family life, work or personal goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical strategies to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stressful thinking that affects daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. James will discuss different methods with you and decide together what fits your goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions can shift as needs change, and you get techniques that feel relevant to your life and parenting responsibilities.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and eye contact while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, written reflections or when a quick catch-up between sessions helps you stay on track. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life.
