James Collier

Asking for help can be a monumental decision that requires a lot of courage. Finding the right therapist can be an equally difficult task. A therapeutic relationship needs to feel safe and collaborative, as it can serve as a foundation for healing.

My core training is person-centred therapy, an approach pioneered by Carl Rogers in the 1940s as an alternative to traditional psychotherapy. Person-centred therapy moves away from the idea of the therapist as an expert who can fix you, trusting instead that you have the innate capacity to fulfil your own potential, given the right conditions.  A strong and caring therapeutic relationship, based in genuine acceptance and empathic understanding, forms the foundation of person-centred therapy.

I am passionate about the approach that I use, and I love the challenge of my work with clients. I choose to work in a person-centred way because it is a deeply respectful and effective approach to therapy.

My personal pronouns are he/him/his.

I provide short- and long-term therapy online and face-to-face. I am committed to providing counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. My counselling practice is located in the heart of the Norwich Lanes just off the Market Square.

In our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, address any questions or concerns you might have, and see whether it feels right for us to work together. I look forward to sharing the power of this healing process with you.
