Welcome to
Jordan James Counselling
A confidential space to explore the thoughts, feelings and challenges in your life
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Jordan and I am a counsellor providing both short- and long-term therapy in Edgerton, Huddersfield.
Counselling and therapy in a safe, comfortable and private setting
I am an integrative therapist with a person-centered base. This means I believe we are each our own best resource for change. I aim to work with you to build that resource in a supportive, compassionate, and encouraging manner.
I specialise in working with adults 18+ offering both long and short-term therapy. I utilise my extensive 6-year training which has included CBT, Person-Centred, and Psychodynamic principles, as well as over 2300 hours of clinical practice.
I work sensitively with adults who have experienced trauma and hardship in their childhood and growing up. Often these experiences require a gentle and sensitive approach so that clients can explore what is going on for them in the here and now.
I hold a Psychology and Counselling BSc (Hons) degree and a Psychotherapy and Counselling MA degree.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a graduate member of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
I also have an enhanced DBS certificate.
Speak in confidence
The client’s needs are at the heart of the therapy I provide. Sometimes the pressures of life can build, and it can feel overwhelming. I offer a safe environment where we can explore your inner and outer world and work towards your goals for therapy.
A problem shared...
I aim to build a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable and empowered to grow in your desired direction. I work integratively and collaboratively, drawing on differing therapeutic disciplines depending on your needs.
A new understanding
Many individuals often suffer from the overwhelming effects of anxiety and depression. I use my experience of working with clients from all walks of life, and research-based strategies to help my clients gain an understanding of why they feel the way they do.

My location
I offer face-to-face therapy from my comfortable office in Edgerton, Huddersfield.
I am also working online (WhatsApp and Zoom) and over the telephone with clients who prefer to do so. I have found some clients prefer the ease of accessibility online can offer and can feel more comfortable with therapy done in this way.
My room is easy to reach from Huddersfield town centre or the M62 and has free off-street parking.
Fees & availability
My sessions are 50 minutes and I also offer an initial meeting of 25 minutes. This initial meeting allows us to get a sense of whether I am the right therapist for you, then after this initial meeting, we can discuss if we will continue to work together.
I am also more than happy to have a short initial chat on the phone beforehand, please feel free to give me a call or request a call-back.
Get in touch
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling and psychotherapy works, or to arrange an initial meeting.
