James Wightman is passionate about supporting people of all ages—children, teens, and adults— and he offers compassionate, goal-oriented guidance to help individuals navigate life’s challenges. Known for his empathetic approach, he creates a welcoming space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood, collaborating to develop practical, personalised strategies that build resilience and generate positive change using evidence-based therapy.

James has a keen interest in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, substance use concerns, and those on the autism spectrum. He also has experience in addressing challenging behaviours, anxiety disorders, and developmental issues in children. Drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities—including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing—James tailors his approach to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

James holds First Class Honours in Psychology and is currently finalising the completion of a Master of Clinical Psychology with Distinction. Outside his professional role, James values balance and self-care. During a recent period on the Gold Coast, he developed a deeper appreciation for staying active through surfing, hiking, soccer, and tennis—activities he personally enjoys for balance and well-being.
