James Wong Counselling

Private Eastbourne Counselling Service

Registered Therapeutic Counsellor

My name is James Wong, and I am a registered counsellor with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I am here to support you take the next steps towards a more fulfilling life. I do this warmly, sensitively and with focus; remaining sensitive to your needs and with an ongoing commitment to supporting your growth and personal development.

My counselling practice is grounded in an evidence-based person-centred approach, further deepened through ongoing professional training that supports me to deliver an effective counselling service.

Alongside my experience in one-to-one and family counselling, I bring a sensitivity and potency, honed through hundreds of hours of group therapeutic practice with some of society’s most troubled and traumatised individuals.

An ongoing commitment to my personal development helps me to remain nourished and resourced in providing the best possible therapeutic experience for my clients.

On reflection – using the sand tray – it takes me out of my head and into my heart.

I found talking with James

I found talking with James covering my still feelings of grief after the death of my first husband most rewarding. We also discussed my own mortality and the feelings surrounding it as I enter my 76th year, usually a taboo subject but now I feel much more comfortable facing my own death… a journey we all must make. Thank you James for your listening ear.

Ultimately, the goal is

Ultimately, the goal is to gain greater self-awareness and I think that is where we find healing. Every now and then we are lucky to meet someone who connects with us as both teacher and guide and I feel I have found this in James.

James has helped me to see some of the beliefs…

James has helped me to see some of the beliefs and assumptions I make about myself, others, and the situations I face, and has gently enabled me to consider other points of view, and choices I could make.

As a carer, it has been validating

As a carer, it has been validating as well as challenging, and a great support and safety valve at a difficult time in my life.
