Jamie Whaley, BACP

Jamie Whaley offers a warm, client-centred approach to therapy. She aims to create an open space where people feel able to share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Jamie says taking the first step takes courage and she is there to support that decision.

Jamie uses Client-Centred Therapy to help people talk through stress and anxiety. She also helps those facing depression and life changes. Her work includes support around LGBT issues, relationships, grief, anger, self-esteem, career concerns and bipolar difficulties.

She completed a foundation degree in counselling and has four years of professional experience. That combination informs a straightforward, listening-led way of working. Sessions are shaped by what the person brings and by clear, respectful conversation.

Jamie pays attention to practical needs as well as feelings. She helps people find small steps they can try between sessions. The aim is to make progress that fits real life, not just talk in the room.

Her approach also covers hoarding-related concerns alongside the other focus areas. Jamie works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. People can expect calm, patient listening and practical discussion about next steps.

Client-centred care online and practical support

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the person's lead to help them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for worries such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.

Jamie focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and will work with clients to identify which ways of working fit best. Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process - goals, preferences and practical needs guide the plan rather than a fixed method.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and more flexible timing through the week. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, family and day-to-day life, while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical steps.
