About Jamie

Jamie Cargill is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, and LGBT issues, among other concerns. Jamie aims to make the first step easier by creating a calm and respectful atmosphere in the first session.

He uses a straightforward, personal style. Sessions start with a conversation about what brought the person to counselling and what they might want to get from it. If someone is unsure of goals, Jamie helps prioritise concerns so work can begin on the most pressing issues first.

Jamie emphasises listening and building trust. He adapts the pace and focus to each person, whether the work is short term or longer. He encourages practical steps as well as talking through feelings, so people can find ways to cope between sessions.

Common areas Jamie has supported include depression, coping with life changes, parenting stress, body image, intimacy-related issues, and trauma or abuse. He also works with concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, addiction, and issues related to gender dysphoria and alternative sexual cultures.

Jamie holds BACP and NCPS credentials and treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. He invites those who are nervous about counselling to try a first session and see how it feels. The focus is on helping people gain more understanding of themselves and practical ways to move forward.

How Jamie's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor follows the individual's lead, offering empathy and understanding so the person can make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits issues like grief, low self-esteem and identity concerns where being heard matters.

Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on practical steps and small changes. It looks for what already works and builds on it, which can help with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Sessions often include clear, short-term goals and simple actions to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Work is collaborative, and the plan can be adjusted as things progress.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow follow-up conversations between sessions. It can also make shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations possible when that suits the person's day-to-day routine.
