MY PHILOSOPHY
As a therapist, I believe in the transformative power of self-discovery and healing. My mission is to guide you towards mental well-being and emotional balance.
About James Cremin
With over 30 years of experience as a hairdresser, I’ve built deep, genuine connections through honest conversations in the chair. Now, as a qualified therapist and life guide with a degree in Behavioural Science (Psychology), I offer one-on-one support to help people navigate life’s transitions, heal emotionally, and reconnect with purpose. I’m committed to providing compassionate, personalised, and confidential therapy — creating a safe space for reflection, growth, and meaningful change.
SERVICES
Individual
My individual therapy sessions are tailored to address your specific concerns and help you navigate life's challenges. Through a collaborative and supportive approach, I aim to empower you to overcome obstacles and live a fulfilling life.
Couples
My couples therapy focuses on enhancing communication, building trust, and strengthening relationships. I provide a neutral and supportive environment for couples to address conflicts, improve intimacy, and foster a deeper connection.
Therapeutic Approach
Navigating Life Transitions
Whether you’re facing change by choice or circumstance — career shifts, relationship changes, ageing, loss, or identity questions — I offer calm, considered support to help you find your footing and move forward with clarity.
Emotional Healing & Resilience
Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, working through anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional fatigue. My approach is grounded and compassionate, helping you build emotional awareness, stability, and renewed strength.
Vision-Building & Personal Growth
This is about more than just coping — it’s about expanding. I support clients who are ready to reconnect with their values, define what matters, and create meaningful momentum toward a more fulfilling, purpose-led life.
Client Testimonials
“James has always shown a quiet, curious care that goes beyond the surface. Over the years, he became more than a trusted hairdresser — he became a confidant. I could share anything with him and always felt held without judgement. He has a rare ability to sense when you need to talk, and when you simply need space. When he began studying psychology, it felt inevitable — a natural fusion of who he is and the way he’s always worked. If you’re facing pain, change, or simply want to understand yourself more deeply, James will meet you with warmth, wisdom, and calm presence. I cannot recommend him more sincerely.”
Susan M.
“James Cremin’s therapy sessions gave me something I hadn’t felt in a long time — a space where I could speak freely, feel heard, and not be judged. As a gay man, that kind of safety isn’t always easy to find. James brings a calm, thoughtful presence to every session, gently helping me understand myself with more clarity and compassion. Trusting James with my story was one of the best decisions I’ve made.”
Michael L.
"James's wise counsel has guided me through some of my most difficult challenges. He is empathetic, supportive and compassionate and makes me feel safe and understood. I cannot recommend James highly enough."
Suzanne C.
“When my marriage ended, I felt like everything I knew about myself and my life was unravelling. I was overwhelmed, angry, and unsure how to hold it together for my two kids, or even for myself. Working with James has helped me make sense of the emotional mess and start rebuilding with intention. His sessions gave me the space to reflect, be honest, and find a better way forward. Not just for me, but for my relationship with my ex and for the kind of father I want to be. I never expected therapy to feel this grounded and practical, but it’s been exactly what I needed.”

What to Expect During
a Therapy Session
In a session with me, you’ll find a calm, supportive space where you’re met with care, curiosity, and respect. We’ll explore what’s on your mind — a challenge, decision, or feeling of being stuck — and work together to gain clarity and uncover insight. Sessions are conversational, down-to-earth, and shaped around what you need, offering space to reflect, feel heard, and take meaningful steps forward.
