Specialist therapy for eating disorders, addiction, compulsive behaviours, and trauma.
In-person therapy in London and Deal (Kent) | Online therapy across the UK
Helping others to help themselves
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. Many people come to therapy when they feel stuck in patterns that are difficult to change alone — whether that’s struggles with food, alcohol or substances, compulsive behaviours, or the emotional impact of past experiences.
I’m James Hitchen, a therapist specialising in eating disorders, addiction, trauma, and compulsive behaviours. I offer in-person therapy in London and Deal (Kent) as well as online therapy for clients across the UK and internationally.
Therapy offers a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin building a more stable foundation for recovery.
Who I Work With
I work with adults who are experiencing difficulties with:
Eating disorders and disordered eating
Alcohol or substance use
Compulsive behaviours
Emotional overwhelm or anxiety
Trauma and its lasting impact
Feeling stuck in patterns that are difficult to change alone
Many clients come to therapy after trying to manage things themselves for a long time. Therapy can help create space to understand what is happening and begin to move forward.
Testimonials
“Just wanted to thank you again for your session, and reiterating the importance of listening to your body & mind” Diana F.
“Absolutely love your sessions!” Dale H.
“James you’ve been amazing - so grateful to you. Many many many thanks!” R.
“I'd like to pass on our thanks to you and congratulate you on helping our daughter in such a marvellous fashion.........When I think back to those dark days in February and dwell on her then - there is an enormous contrast between then and now. Our daughter has come back to life and did fantastically on Saturday when she was taking a young girl around Tate Britain chatting to her about art.... (which she was terrified about).” M&D.
