Counselling & Coaching

for English speakers

Helping expats find calm, clarity and lasting change.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by sadness, or struggling to manage frustration in a life far from home? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it on your own.

I’m James Wilson, an Accredited Behavioural Therapist with over 15 years experience helping English-speaking clients make meaningful, lasting change in how they think, feel, and act.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, or relationship difficulties, I offer a structured and supportive approach to help you break free from emotional barriers and take practical steps towards the life you want to lead.

Offering both one-to-one therapy and couples counselling, I’ll support you in making real behavioural change, so you can feel more grounded, more connected, and more in control.

In Two Minds…

When your mind won’t give you a break…
Maybe it tells you you’ll never belong. That there’s no point trying. Or that you’re not doing enough—for your family, your friends, or yourself.

This kind of thinking is exhausting, and it can stop you from living the life you came here to build.

But change is possible. With the right support, you can learn how to quiet the noise, reset your focus, and take meaningful steps forward—whether you're struggling with anxiety, low mood, or simply feeling stuck far from home.

How I Can Help

Whether you're feeling emotionally overwhelmed or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I offer focused support to help you move forward.

I work with English-speaking expats who are ready to create real change in how they think, feel and live. Utilising the 4-step Change Process, I help you reconnect with your strengths, change unhelpful behaviours, and start living more in line with your values.

You can work with me in three ways:

🧠 Individual Therapy – Support for anxiety, low mood, identity shifts, and emotional difficulties.
💬 Couples Counselling – A safe space to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen your relationship.
🌍 Expat Coaching – Practical, goal-focused support to help you navigate transitions, set clear intentions, and take meaningful action.

My approach blends behavioural therapy with compassionate coaching tools, so you can stop just coping and start living with clarity, confidence and self-compassion.

Client Reviews

  • "The sessions have been a safe environment where I have been able to openly discuss thoughts and positively work through issues. I have found James to be attentive, supportive  and compassionate; as well as realistic while remaining positive always steering towards a focus on practical means of dealing with situations in the present."

  • “James guided me through the process of cognitive behavioral therapy. The collaborative approach we took allowed me to take a step back from the emotional and look logically and rationally at my problems.”

  • “James helped me to view my thoughts and moods in a more positive way so that they no longer swamp me. He showed me how to appreciate and value my life and to be more compassionate towards myself and not be ruled by my negative worries.”

  • "Fantastic service from James, recommend to me by a colleague. Using the practices and tools from my sessions genuinely allowed me to work through personal struggles and develop a greater capacity for empathy towards myself allowing me to show up as the best version of myself in this world.”

  • "I went to see James when I was stuck in a circle of anxiety and depression. James helped me zoom out and get perspective on my life. He gave me practical and simple tools to help me keep that perspective and avoid negative rumination. Being able to change my perception of things is incredibly powerful.”

  • "I thought that to deal with all of my issues I would have to spend a year/years in therapy, but after four short months, thanks to James’ ‘no nonsense’ and targeted approach, I have come to terms with and accepted my ghosts for what they are ; ghosts. And I can say with absolute confidence, that my mind is once again my own, I have my strength back, and I’m ready for whatever life cares to throw at me."

  • "James helped me to uncover negative behaviors and thoughts that were occurring subconsciously; not only that, he helped illustrate various approaches and tools to short-circuit cycles or thoughts that typically go on unrecognized and uninterrupted and therefore keep us stuck and/ or hurting.”
