About Jamie

Jamie Cargill is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He works in a warm, respectful way and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. Jamie also supports people facing issues around identity, self‑esteem, addiction and major life changes. He is listed with BACP and NCPS and uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions.

Jamie takes a practical, down-to-earth approach. He listens first and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. Clients can expect open discussion about thoughts, feelings and everyday habits that influence how they cope. This helps people notice small changes they can try between sessions.

He offers short and longer-term counselling depending on what someone needs. Early sessions focus on understanding what has brought a person to counselling and on setting clear, manageable goals. When someone is unsure what to work on, Jamie helps them prioritise the issues that feel most pressing right now.

Jamie aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can explore topics such as attachment, intimacy and body image. He also supports those affected by trauma, first responder stress and compassion fatigue. The goal is to build practical ways of coping and increasing day-to-day wellbeing.

Taking the first step can feel difficult, and Jamie offers straightforward guidance about what to expect in early sessions. He encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire and an initial appointment to see if his approach feels right.

How Jamie’s approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead. It helps people who need time to make sense of difficult feelings and to be heard while they work out what matters to them.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and on identifying what works. It suits people who want short-term, goal-oriented work to improve everyday habits and coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Jamie will work collaboratively to decide which approach, or mix of approaches, fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as progress is made so the plan stays relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations when face-to-face meetings are difficult, which can help keep therapy consistent alongside work and caring commitments.
