Chris James
Psychotherapist in Abergavenny

I'm a highly experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist and sleep specialist providing evidence-based psychological interventions (including CBT) for a range of difficulties including insomnia, adult ADHD, anxiety, work-related stress and burnout, trauma, depression, OCD, health anxiety, phobia, self-esteem issues and relationship difficulties.

For me, the therapeutic relationship is the foundation on which good therapy is built and experience has shown me that people who get the best results from therapy are highly motivated, brave, open, and willing to work together in a focused but flexible way. If you're interested in how psychological support may help you, feel free to contact me to discuss.

I run a successful clinical psychology practice which provides support to clients all over the UK. We pride ourselves in offering high quality, effective support that is tailored to the individual needs of each of our clients.

Approach to Psychotherapy & How I Work

Psychological support is about investing in you. Life can be chaotic, intense, confusing, and we can be left feeling disconnected from ourselves, our lives, and the people around us. Sometimes we just need some space to stop and think. Psychological support is also about developing a deeper understanding of yourself - who you are, what you need, what matters to you. For others, it's about building on existing skills - how to get more out of relationships, improving communication, being more assertive, boosting your sleep and performance, learning to be the best version of yourself.
