Jamie Cargill, BACP, NCPS

Jamie Cargill works primarily through a client-centred way of counselling, with a practical focus on looking for solutions that matter to each person. He uses a straightforward style and tailors sessions to what an individual needs most. Jamie holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Jamie supports people experiencing stress and anxiety and those facing relationship problems. He also helps people struggling with grief, low self-esteem, addictive behaviours and depression. He offers help around identity and LGBT matters, issues with intimacy and body image, and challenges such as ADHD and compassion fatigue.

His approach is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions are designed to be non-judgemental and responsive, so practical steps and small changes can be agreed together. Where people prefer a short-term focus, Jamie can concentrate on clear goals and next steps.

Jamie will also work with deeper themes when needed, including attachment, abandonment, trauma, and the impact of stressful professional roles such as first responder issues. He is comfortable talking about less common areas too, including kink and alternative sex culture, gender dysphoria, and eating concerns.

Jamie encourages people to be honest about what they want from counselling, even if that is only to feel a bit more like themselves. He aims to make the first session straightforward and calming, and to help prioritise what to work on first. Practical plans and personal insight are both part of his method.

Client-centred and solution-focused online counselling

Jamie uses client-centred counselling to create a space where the client leads the topics and the therapist reflects and responds to what matters most. This approach helps people clarify feelings, make sense of relationship or identity concerns, and feel heard. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move someone towards their goals, which can work well for stress, anxiety, coping with life changes and career or parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Jamie will discuss your aims and preferences and combine client-centred listening with solution-focused planning where appropriate. Together you decide what feels most useful and adjust the method as you go, aiming for a collaborative working relationship that fits your needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and clearer non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is lower or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write and want more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel and busy family life while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
