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 on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and related issues. Jamie aims to make the first contact straightforward for anyone who feels nervous about starting counselling.

He keeps conversations direct and practical. Sessions begin by clarifying what has brought someone to therapy and what they might hope to gain. If goals are unclear, he helps identify priorities so work feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Jamie uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on each person's experience and choices. He also draws on solution-focused ideas to help people spot small changes that make a difference. This combination suits people who want to be heard and who also want concrete steps to try between sessions.

Over seven years he has supported people with a wide range of concerns beyond those listed above, including self-esteem, addiction-related struggles, trauma and intimacy-related issues. He also works with matters such as body image, attachment and commitment difficulties, and first responder stress.

Sessions are offered in English and reflect practical care about what someone can manage alongside everyday life. Jamie asks clients to describe what they want from counselling, and then he helps plan how to move toward those aims in clear, realistic stages.

How his approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and on the person's own perspective. The counsellor follows what matters to the client and supports them to make choices and notice their own strengths. This approach helps when someone wants to be understood and to build clarity about feelings and relationships.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that can be tested between sessions. It uses short, goal-oriented steps and asks what already works in a person's life. This can suit people who want to move toward clear, achievable outcomes without lengthy planning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions relevant and manageable.

Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not specify which online or in-person options are offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a shorter contact is useful. Different formats also suit different practical needs - for example a phone call can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, while a video meeting lets you use visual cues. Registered or accredited professionals can explain options and suggest what might fit your situation.
