James Costigan, BACP

James Costigan is a genuine, caring, and insightful therapist who creates a supportive space where men can slow down, explore themselves, and address the obstacles keeping them from a calmer, more confident life. He specialises in working with men because he recognises that many of the pressures they face are carried in silence, and he focuses on helping clients build self-awareness, understand their emotions, and develop steadier ways to meet life’s challenges.

Choosing therapy can feel like a big step, and James works at a pace that feels right for each person, supporting them until they can approach dilemmas with greater clarity, compassion, and confidence. He stays alongside clients throughout the process with the aim of helping them grow from struggles, heal from experiences that have shaped them, and move toward the life they want.

Many men come to James with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, addiction issues including pornography, or a sense of feeling lost. He also supports men facing professional pressures, performance expectations, and personal development challenges, drawing on his own corporate experience to relate to workplace stresses. He holds BACP accreditation, which means he is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adheres to that professional body's standards.
