Jamie Cargill , BACP, NCPS

Jamie Cargill is a qualified UK counsellor with more than seven years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. He works with issues such as stress and anxiety, LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and many other personal struggles that clients commonly bring to therapy. Jamie describes his style as warm, down-to-earth and compassionate, offering both short-term and longer-term counselling tailored to each person’s needs.

He seeks to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity, shaping conversations and treatment plans around each individual’s circumstances and goals. As a trained professional who holds the credentials BACP and NCPS, Jamie brings recognised training and professional standing to his practice. He aims to help people explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours so they can gain clearer understanding of themselves and their relationships.

Jamie recognises that reaching out for help can feel daunting, especially for those new to counselling, and he encourages taking that first step when possible. In initial sessions he focuses on putting people at ease, discussing the therapeutic relationship and exploring what has brought them to therapy. Whether someone arrives with defined goals or simply a wish to feel more like themselves, Jamie works collaboratively to identify priorities and develop practical ways forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jamie commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person directs the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, processing emotions, and strengthening how someone relates to themselves and others.

He also draws on solution-focused therapy, a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify realistic steps and small changes that move them toward their desired outcomes. This method can be especially useful for addressing relationship concerns, stress, and specific life challenges where clear goals and actions are helpful.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jamie works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts methods over time if different work is needed.

Online therapy with Jamie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, letting people choose the way of working that feels most comfortable to them.
