James Hawkins

I am currently welcoming enquiries from trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists seeking clinical supervision.

I offer online supervision, with appointments generally available Monday to Friday afternoons. Face-to-face supervision in Walthamstow, East London, will resume in January 2027.

I work with practitioners from a range of therapeutic backgrounds and at different stages of their careers.

Please get in touch to discuss availability or arrange an initial conversation. I appreciate that finding the right supervisor matters, and I am always happy to explore whether we might be a good fit.

I am a BACP registered psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with over 25 years' experience working with adults, young people, families and professionals.

My background includes forensic psychotherapy, complex trauma, mental health, training and consultancy. My approach is relational, psychodynamic and integrative, although I welcome supervisees working across different therapeutic modalities.

I believe supervision should offer more than case discussion. It is an opportunity to think deeply about our clients, ourselves and the relationships we create.

I bring warmth, curiosity, humour and thoughtful challenge to my work. I value openness and honesty, and believe that uncertainty and the willingness to question ourselves are essential to developing as practitioners.

Finding the right supervisor is important, and I welcome an initial conversation to explore whether we might work well together.

This is an opportunity to tell me about your practice, professional background and what you hope to gain from supervision. You can also ask questions about my experience and approach.

If we decide to work together, our first session will focus on getting to know your clinical work, discussing your needs and agreeing on a supervision contract.

There is no expectation that you arrive with everything neatly formulated. I hope you will feel comfortable bringing your questions, uncertainties and experiences as openly as you wish.

Please feel free to get in touch for an initial conversation.

I am currently welcoming enquiries from adults and young people seeking individual therapy, as well as couples looking for relationship support.

I offer online and in person sessions Monday to Friday

Sessions last 50 minutes, and I offer a sliding scale of fees to help make therapy more accessible.

I appreciate that taking the first step can feel daunting. You are very welcome to get in touch with any questions or to arrange an initial conversation about what you are looking for.

I am a BACP registered psychotherapist with over 25 years' experience helping people navigate emotional difficulties, relationships and challenging periods in their lives.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, loss, relationship difficulties and feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. Sometimes there is a clear reason for seeking therapy; at other times, something simply doesn't feel right.

My approach is relational, psychodynamic and integrative. This means I am interested in understanding you as a whole person, including how your experiences, relationships and patterns of thinking and feeling may be shaping your life today.

I offer a warm, thoughtful and non-judgemental space where we can explore what matters to you, at a pace that feels manageable. I believe therapy works best when there is trust, openness and a genuine connection between us.

Therapy offers an opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and make sense of what you are experiencing.

You may be struggling with a particular difficulty, repeating patterns in relationships, feeling disconnected from yourself or simply wanting to understand yourself better.

I won't tell you how to live your life or assume I have all the answers. Instead, we will work together to explore your experiences, feelings and relationships, making connections that may not have been apparent before.

My style is warm, engaged and collaborative. I listen carefully, ask questions and offer reflections that may help you see things differently. There is room for difficult feelings, uncertainty and humour too.

Our work might be short-term and focused on a particular issue, or longer-term if you want to explore things more deeply. The aim is to help you develop greater understanding, confidence and freedom to make choices that feel right for you.

I offer an initial consultation to give us an opportunity to meet, talk about what has brought you to therapy and explore whether working together feels right for you.

I understand that finding the right therapist is important, and that taking the first step can sometimes feel daunting. There is no expectation that you arrive knowing exactly what to say or where to begin.

During our conversation, I'll explain how I work, answer any questions you might have and give you space to get a sense of what therapy with me might feel like.

Above all, this is an opportunity for you to decide whether you feel comfortable working with me, without any pressure to commit.

Please feel welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial consultation.
