Denise James

I am an accredited therapist with 39 years experience working with people struggling with all types of problem behaviours, traumas and challenging life events. Whatever the presenting problem, I am a therapist who is passionate about self-transformation and the living of the best life experience possible. The the type of therapy I provide helps clients to realise lasting-change. 

During the course of this transformative therapeutic process,  you will gain insight into your particular life and relationship patterns, and in so doing gain greater awareness & capacity for self-compassion. Additionally, you will be supported as you find and try out more self-soothing and life-affirming ways of living, being, self-expressing, loving & coping.

My book Back to love, is a first generation British born African Caribbean Woman's healing journey from Adverse Childhood Experiences to true- Self & Dreams - realising living. I  have a huge belief in the Transformative Power of creativity, and learning & growing through the sharing of experiences: Experience teaches. 

The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins With a Single Step. Lao Tzu.

From my Inspired Transformative Practices, you can expect to feel safe, be heard and not judged, as well as compassionately encouraged and supported to be the all that you may be. 

The therapy I offer is transformative so you will see results and would very much engage in the therapeutic transformation process via the healing experienced during the therapeutic encounter and the personalised resources identified and practiced during the course of the transformative journey. 

At this time I offer time limited therapy up to 16 sessions. My online sessions are all taken. I only have telephone therapy slots available, at a reduced rate. 

During the first session you will be invited to share your particular life challenge; to share what ails and weighs heavily on you, and become clear on what you would like to get from the transformative therapeutic experience. In the first session, you also get the opportunity to find out more about my Practice & me. 

I am an accredited therapist and I have been in Practice for 39 years. 

Since 1994 I have been supervising therapists from a range of theoretical modalities, workplace environments, learning institutions and private practices; therapists counselling clients from diverse backgrounds.

As a supervisee client, I create space for you to develop your practice organically & authentically, increasing confidence & competence in your skills set, experience and knowledge. I work with you in a framework of equality as one therapist practitioner to another, guiding and supporting your practice as well as  directing you to resources, as and when needed. 

My supervision sessions are a transformative experience, where I work intuitively & at relational depth, creating  a safe space where you can continue to learn, grow, and fulfil our potential as a fellow practitioner.

I am a two times published author. My first book Back to love, is a first generation British born African Caribbean Woman's healing journey from Adverse Childhood Experiences, in a sexist & racist-riddled society. My second book Inner Life Writes: A Manifesto for RE-Connecting to Love, RE-Newing Your Mind & Radiating Your Light, continues on the theme of healing, taking and championing healing in the realm  of  "collective responsibility." 

Both books are a great learning manuals for therapists in training, practitioners,  and clients alike. Back to love in particular shares my story of becoming a Counsellor and all that entailed as I healed, overcame childhood trauma & painful relationship patterns, coming into my own authentic & true nature.

All sessions currently delivered online.

Typically, the first session is to get to know about you, your needs and wants, your client work, and hopes for supervision, as well as find out what you can expect to receive from the type of supervision I provide.
