About me and my therapy practice
My name is James Hodgeon I’m a qualified therapeutic Person-Centred counsellor. This humanistic approach works with the way that people perceive themselves raising awareness and understanding of the person. Working in the here and now focusing on the person as a whole facilitating and allowing the person to achieve greater independence and skills to cope with current and future issues. Person Centred counselling is a theory which can help people work through life issues such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, life transitions, anger, to name a few. I have over 30 years of experience working with mental health and emotional well-being, supporting people with life events that can be difficult to talk to family members and friends about. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP. I trained at Leeds and Salford University’s for my graduate and post graduate training. I receive monthly supervision in line with the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I have full professional indemnity insurance, DBS checked, and, I am ICO data protection registered. I work with adult 16 years and above, older adults and trainees/students and this service is delivered, face to face, by telephone or zoom video call.
