James Skinner
Hey, I’m James
Masters of Psychotherapy (Process Work)
I’m a Sydney based therapist, with a love for all sorts of creative outlets and a deep commitment to guiding men through personal transformation.
💪From My Path to Yours!
With a background marked by challenges including low self-esteem, sex addiction, and emotional incest, my own journey has profoundly shaped my empathetic and open-minded approach to counselling.
Growing up in a culture of shame, I have navigated my way through personal therapy, men’s circles, and leadership training, all of which have expanded my understanding of the myriad ways men can authentically express themselves in this world.
This personal evolution drives my non-judgmental, compassionate approach, allowing me to connect meaningfully with each client I work with.
My passion extends to working with individuals eager to break free from repetitive patterns and improve their quality of life.
Whether addressing issues of self-worth, navigating complex relationship dynamics, or exploring sexual challenges shrouded in shame, my approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.
My extensive training in leadership and men’s initiation rites provides a robust framework for supporting men through various life transitions.
More About James
On a personal note, community involvement and dance are significant aspects of my life.
I cherish organising and participating in community events and workshops, finding joy and expression in dance, which forms a vital part of my self-care routine.
A lover of Marvel films and an enthusiastic participant in board game nights, I embrace various forms of entertainment that connect me with others and enrich my life.
Stronger Together
At the heart of my practice is the belief in building strong, therapeutic relationships.
Without this foundation, I believe it is impossible to create a supportive environment conducive to healing.
My sessions are designed to be safe spaces where individuals feel comfortable to open up, share, and explore their feelings and thoughts in a non-judgemental and receptive atmosphere.
I am a strong proponent of open communication and actively encourage clients to provide feedback during our sessions.
This ensures our work together remains aligned with their evolving needs and goals.
By regularly inviting feedback and adjusting our approach, we foster a dynamic and responsive therapeutic relationship.

Finding Your Answers
In my counselling sessions, I aim to facilitate a journey of self-discovery and healing, recognising that each person holds the answers they seek, learnt through their own life’s experiences.
My role is to provide the space and support for these insights to emerge, affirming each individual’s inherent perfection and beauty.
I hold a core belief that healing and returning to oneself is achieved through listening to our inner wisdom.
This process demands unconditional love and acceptance of ourselves and our experiences, coupled with a deep curiosity about the possibilities within us.
I advocate for embracing everything we are and continuously making the choice to nurture a profound relationship with oneself.
