Welcome
My name is James Johnson.
I am a clinical counsellor and mindfulness therapist based in Basingstoke, who helps individuals, families and couples move out of life and relationship struggles.
Individual and Relationship Counselling in Basingstoke
Individual Counselling can help you create the life you want. Relationship Counselling can help you build the relationship you need.
- Are you struggling to cope with anxiety, depression or loss?
- Do you find relationships unsatisfying or painful?
If so, you are certainly not alone.
You are probably tired and fed up with struggling to make your life and relationships work. Maybe you cling to beliefs and behaviours that hurt you, but you don't know how to change. Maybe you don't understand what's happening to you. Maybe you've experienced too much and need help understanding what's happened, where you are and where you want to be.
You long for a healthy life and a great relationship with yourself and others that doesn't cause you pain.
Plenty of people think that life, relationship or marriage problems will just get better over time, or that they can fix things themselves. Many push aside issues, withdraw or shut down, and avoid talking about the deeper problems, hoping things will improve.
Your problems in relationship and life in general may leave you feeling:
- ​Frustrated, not knowing what to say or do
- Confused about how to meet your needs or other peoples needs
- Powerless, without good ways to get past the issues
- Irritable, angry or negative
- Scared of losing those around you
Your happiness and those around you are your top priorities, and you miss the fun and ease of living. You've considered counselling, maybe for a while now, but haven't taken that first step yet.
Signs you may need counselling include:
- Distance from other people including your partner, children, family or friends
- Dissatisfaction with life, relationships or career
- Depression or Anxiety
- A lack of intimacy in relationships, where your needs don't get met
- Holding on to past relationship hurts or pain
- Shutting down or withdrawing, or getting angry too often
- Difficulties in expressing your needs
My therapy practice works specifically with motivated people like yourself who want to move on with their lives. If your life or relationships are getting you down, my individual and relationship counselling services can help you get back on the right track.
Together, in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental partnership, we can explore the issues at hand and facilitate real, long-lasting change that leads to:
- Relief from emotional pain
- Increased self-confidence
- Greater trust in yourself and others
- Enhanced personal life, career and close relationships
- The ability to make your relationships more satisfying and intimate
- Engagement in behaviours that support your best possible life
- A greater sense of well-being
You don't have to go through the pain alone. Individual or relationship counselling can help.
I'm an individual and couples counsellor who specialises in working with men and women to create the lives and relationships they want and so desperately need. I help individuals, families and couples create more happiness, peace of mind, and less distance and conflict.
Through individual counselling, I'll work with you to help you find ways to improve your life and relationships.
Through families and couples counselling, I'll work with you to figure out what's broken in your relationship, and to develop the solutions you need to make your relationship more fulfilling.
Together through therapy, we can help you develop the right tools to reduce conflict, increase confidence and find greater enjoyment in life.
Here's how I can help you with your life and relationships in counselling:
- ​Develop greater self-acceptance and self-compassion
- Develop effective communication skills and open up more
- Overcome anxiety, depression, relationship issues and many other issues.
- Learn to fight well, so nobody gets hurt
- Bring back the intimacy between you and your partner
- Get the support, affection and validation you need
- Stop resorting to avoidance, withdrawal and other unhealthy behaviours
- Rebuild damaged trust
What makes me different from other individual and couples counsellors?
- I have over 8 years combined counselling training and experience with providing individual and relationship counselling to people who have struggled with many of the painful issues that you may be dealing with right now.
- I am passionate about helping individuals, families and couples move out of negative and painful patterns of relating to live full and rich relationships that are life-enhancing, enduring and rewarding. This has been the case for many clients I have worked with.
- My counselling approach is tailored to suit your unique needs. I will listen closely to what your goals are and work side-by-side with you to achieve them.
- The foundation of my individual, families and couples counselling approach is holistic. I view the whole of you in the context of your unique needs, values and history. This allows me to support you in accessing your inherent resources and strengths. You can utilise your own ability to heal and recover from past relationship pain so that you feel happy and satisfied in a healthy loving relationship with yourself and others.
