My name is Jim Handley and I am an experienced BACP accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Supervisor.
I work in Lymington, in the New Forest near Southampton.
Besides my extensive training as a psychotherapist working with individuals, I also have specialist qualifications and expertise in couples counselling and relationship counselling.
Besides working in person with couples and individuals I also have specialist training and extensive experience in working online. For more information please see the Working Online section to be found under the 'Psychotherapy and Counselling Services' tab at the top of the page.
I have supported many people, over the past 20 years, in dealing with the pressures and problems that affect all areas of their lives, including difficulties in relationships, depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem issues, trauma, divorce, bereavement, sexuality, parenting and step-parenting, anger management and personal development.
I am passionate about helping couples and individuals to find a way forward with their problems, however those problems present themselves. If you need to talk to me I will endeavour to arrange an appointment for you as soon as possible and you are welcome to contact me for a no-obligation phone conversation about the way that I work and what I can offer you.

I also offer therapist and counsellor supervision for those working with individuals and I offer specialist supervision for those working with couples. Please contact me for more details.
Counselling and Psychotherapy provide us with the tools to deal with life in a more satisfying way. They are powerful and effective in enabling us to make changes in our lives and to benefit from those changes. In particular you may feel empowered; this means stronger, braver, more defined and clearer about what you want in your life and how to bring it about.
I provide a supportive environment with complete confidentiality and adhere to the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapist’s Code of Ethics
