About Jamie

Jamie Cargill is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He offers a calm, down-to-earth approach so people can talk about worries like stress, anxiety, loss and relationship strain. Jamie aims to make the first steps easier and to help people feel heard from the very first session.

He works in a client-centred way, listening carefully and responding to what matters most to each person. Jamie also uses solution-focused techniques to set practical, achievable goals and focus on small changes that make a difference. Together these approaches help with day-to-day stresses and bigger life shifts.

Jamie has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. These include LGBT issues, grief, self-esteem, addictions, trauma, intimacy-related questions, eating and body image, ADHD, career challenges and compassion fatigue. He also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment problems, and the effects of divorce or separation.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs. Jamie emphasises respect, sensitivity and a non-judgemental manner. He will help you talk through thoughts, feelings and behaviours and support you to find your own solutions and clearer ways forward.

If you decide to start, the early sessions focus on what has brought you and what you hope to achieve. If you are unsure what to aim for, Jamie can help you prioritise the things to work on first and agree a simple plan together.

How these approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space and reflects what you say so you can make sense of your feelings. This approach can help when someone is dealing with anxiety, grief, identity or relationship issues.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps you can try straight away. It concentrates on what is already working and on clear short-term goals, which suits people wanting quick, manageable changes in stress, coping or day-to-day problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jamie will work with you to identify which style or mix of styles fits your needs, goals and preferences. He aims to be collaborative, checking in and adapting plans as you go so the work stays relevant and realistic.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when calmer surroundings or less visual focus are useful, or when a practical, goal-orientated session is helpful during a lunch break or between commitments.
