About

James McComas (Dip HE, BA, MA, PGCE)

I am an experienced practitioner who offers counselling / psychotherapy from a person-centred perspective.

I work with a wide range of issues and problems including; depression, anxiety, stress, anger, assertiveness, bereavement, body image issues, sexual identity, life transitions and trauma. I have particular experience working with addictions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and low self-esteem.

I aim to support clients as they explore their unique situation and beliefs, enabling them to trust and understand themselves better. I help clients to Identify things that aren’t working in their lives and look at how these can be improved, so that life becomes more worth while and relationships with self and others more enriching.

I provide a safe space where a person can be listened to without judgement. This creates a powerful experience which can lead to lasting positive change.

I have worked as a counsellor in a number of settings including in a counselling practice, in a care setting, and with clients with substance use issues. Prior to this, I had experience in a range of roles, including as a primary school teacher.

I hold a Higher Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy, a BA (Hons) degree, an MA and a PGCE.

I am a professional member of COSCA (Counselling and Psychotherapy in Scotland) and BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and he fully abides by their ethical frameworks and complaints procedures.
