About James Handley

I am passionate about enabling both individuals and couples to make real changes in their lives and relationships through therapy. Psychotherapy is powerful and effective in making positive changes in our lives, it provides us with tools to deal with life in a more satisfying way.

I have undergone one of the most rigorous and challenging training programmes in Britain, and have been taught by some of the most experienced therapists in Europe and the US. I am highly committed to my own personal and professional development.

Before becoming a psychotherapist I worked in industry. I am a keen surfer and sailor and I am married with three children.

I am happy to have a no obligation conversation about psychotherapy and how it might help you. I offer evening and Saturday appointments and I also offer telephone and Skype appointments.
