Jamie Cargill
Calm, practical counselling focused on what helps
About Jamie
Jamie Cargill uses client-centred and solution-focused approaches to help people find clearer ways forward. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, addictions and depression. Jamie also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy-related concerns and people exploring gender and sexual identity issues.
He has seven years of experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Jamie aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk through what is worrying them.
Background and approach
He adapts his way of working to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula. In sessions Jamie listens closely and reflects back what he hears. That helps people notice patterns in their thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Together he and the person will identify practical steps to try between sessions, and they review what helps and what needs changing. For someone who is new to counselling, Jamie focuses on making the first meetings straightforward and reassuring.
He spends time exploring what brought the person to therapy and what they might hope to get from it, even if that hope is simply to feel steadier. Jamie offers both short-term, goal-focused work and longer-term talking therapy depending on need. He tailors sessions to each person’s priorities and checks in regularly to ensure the approach remains helpful.
If someone prefers online options, he provides several ways to connect rather than insisting on a single format.

How client-centred and solution-focused therapy work online
Jamie uses client-centred therapy to place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That approach involves careful listening, reflecting what the person says and following their lead so conversations feel relevant and respectful. It suits people who need time to make sense of their feelings and be heard.He also uses solution-focused therapy to help people identify small, achievable goals. This approach looks for practical steps and what is already working, which is useful for issues like stress, anxiety, coping with life changes and relationship communication problems.
Deciding which approach to use is part of how Jamie works. He discusses needs, goals and preferences with the person and chooses or blends approaches together. The therapist and client decide collaboratively what to try and adjust it as they go.
Online sessions can be scheduled to fit around work, childcare or other commitments. Video calls allow richer face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be quicker check-ins and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter updates, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
