About James
James Moody is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and life transitions. He also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, anger, career questions, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
James uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people name and work through difficult emotions. Sessions focus on understanding how feelings shape behaviour and relationships. Conversations aim to make emotions clearer so practical changes can follow.
His approach is client-centred and attachment-informed. Meetings are structured around what the person brings each week and what they want to change. He draws on CBT techniques when thinking patterns need shifting, and ACT ideas when values and committed action matter.
James has worked across a range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, body image, blended family issues, dissociation and domestic violence. He also addresses complex presentations such as avoidant or dependent personality traits, antisocial personality features and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder concerns where relevant.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be supported. Costs vary by location and run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How James uses EFT, ACT and CBT in online sessions
James integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name hard emotions and see how those feelings affect behaviour and relationships. EFT-style work focuses on tracking emotional experience and shifting patterns that keep people stuck.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small, committed steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when looking at thoughts and practical skills that reduce anxiety or change unhelpful reactions. Each approach targets different parts of the same problem - feelings, values and thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. James will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative discussion helps decide whether EFT-led emotion work, ACT values work or CBT skill-building is most useful at a given time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and save travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use these approaches, often find remote meetings help maintain continuity during life transitions.
