About Jamie
Jamie Cargill is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, relationships, grief, self-esteem, addictions and parenting concerns among other difficulties.
Jamie uses a straightforward style in sessions. He listens and asks practical questions to help people sort out what matters most right now. He aims to make the first meeting a low-pressure conversation about why someone has come and what they want to work on.
Jamie often combines client-centred listening with solution-focused methods. That means he gives space for people to talk through feelings and also helps them identify small steps that can make a difference between sessions. He describes counselling as a place to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to try different ways of coping.
He has experience supporting people with a broad range of concerns that include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating struggles, anger, career worries, depression and ADHD. Additional areas he works with include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, communication and commitment issues, and aspects of kink and alternative sex culture.
Jamie explains things plainly and treats people with respect. He asks about goals if they are known, and if not he helps clients prioritise what to address first. To begin, he invites people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Jamie’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places attention on the person speaking. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects back what is said. This helps people feel heard and better understand their own thoughts and feelings, which can suit issues like grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move things forward. Sessions often focus on what is already working and on building short-term goals. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, parenting strain and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Jamie will talk with clients about their needs and preferences and will help decide which methods to try. That choice is made together and can change as goals become clearer.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel and allowing check-ins during breaks. Some formats let people skip video and use audio only, which can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to practical constraints while keeping focus on the client’s goals and everyday responsibilities.
