Dr James Gordon

James is a Chartered Psychologist and an accredited Existential Psychotherapist. James’ therapeutic practise arises from a life-long interest in Philosophy, social sciences and the humanities with particular attention to the nature of society and the nature of individual subjectivity. Consequently James believes that the psychotherapeutic enterprise offers radical new possibilities for an individual to understand where they position themselves in their life and how that position can be changed. It offers a real opportunity for a client to put everything on the table and to take seriously the creativity and power that is our birthright as human beings. This is best achieved through an honest and compassionate space where one can talk about and, therefore, think about oneself in a new way.

James has worked in the NHS for 8 years in a range of services, including Guys and St Thomas’s Psycho-oncology service and North Hackney Community Mental Health Team. James is LGBT-friendly and specialises in anxiety and trauma disorders, disability, employment and education difficulties, loss and bereavement, self-esteem and relationship difficulties.
