Portrait of James Stevens

Depression, loneliness, and impasse

Depression and a felt sense of impasse are rarely without meaning, even when they feel senseless from the inside. I work to understand what a low mood or a stuck life may be protecting you from, rather than simply aiming to lift it.

I offer individual psychotherapy to adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and other long-standing patterns that inhibit creative thinking about the future. My approach is psychoanalytic, sometimes called psychodynamic: rather than quick-fix answers or directive advice, we build a detailed picture of your life and mind, and think carefully about what needs to be better understood.

I am a full member of the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists and the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), and adhere to their codes of ethics and professional practice. I am also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a founding member of Psychotherapy East.
