About Jamie

Jamie Cargill works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and LGBTQ+ related concerns using a client-centred and solution-focused approach. He is registered with the BACP and the NCPS and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

He offers short and longer-term counselling for individuals who want to talk through what is causing them distress. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings and behaviour so clients can understand themselves and their relationships better. Jamie aims to make the first session straightforward by clarifying how he works and what clients want to get from counselling.

Jamie has worked with a wide range of issues beyond those most commonly listed, and he recognises that each person brings different challenges. He helps people prioritise what to work on when several problems are present. The focus can be on practical steps, small changes and clear goals or on exploring deeper patterns that affect daily life.

He also has experience with areas such as attachment and abandonment, body image, intimacy and alternative sexual cultures, eating concerns, parenting strain, career-related stress, compassion fatigue and first responder issues. Jamie includes attention to control and communication problems where these affect relationships or self-esteem.

Sessions are conversational and aim to be straightforward rather than technical. He explains the counselling process, discusses what clients hope to achieve and adjusts the pace to suit each person. People who are unsure about what they want from counselling are welcome to start by looking at small, manageable goals.

How his approaches are used in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's concerns and priorities at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person to clarify their own goals and values; this can help when people feel unsure about their next steps or their identity.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on finding practical steps and small changes that move someone towards their goals. It is goal-oriented and useful for issues such as coping with stress, relationship communication or setting short-term priorities.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will discuss different methods and agree on what to try based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and may shift as the work progresses.

Practical benefits of remote counselling should be checked before booking because session formats are not specified in the biography. Ask which formats are available and how they fit your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed.
