Jamie Whaley
Client-centred counsellor for life changes
About Jamie
Jamie Whaley uses a client-centred approach to guide people through stressful and uncertain times. She aims to create a calm, accepting space where someone can speak openly about anxiety, depression, grief or concerns related to sexuality. Jamie welcomes direct conversation about life changes and practical struggles such as work stress, low self-esteem or challenges with mood.
Jamie has four years of professional experience in counselling and holds a BACP credential, which she gained after completing a foundation degree in counselling.
Background and approach
That training helped her build practical listening skills and ways to help people reflect on what matters to them. In sessions she focuses on understanding each person’s experience first. She listens without judgement and mirrors back what she hears.
That helps people spot patterns, make choices and try new ways of coping. Her work covers concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, anger and relationship difficulties. Jamie also supports people facing career uncertainty, major life changes and the particular stresses that affect LGBT people.
She has additional experience helping people with hoarding-related distress. Jamie invites people to take small steps toward change. She works at a steady pace and adapts sessions to each person’s needs.
The emphasis is on practical, realistic goals and clearer thinking about next steps.

Sessions & fees
Client-centred care for online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than on labels. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard and follows the person’s priorities in each session. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and worries about identity because it helps people feel understood and find their own solutions.Jamie uses practical listening and gentle questioning to help people explore life changes, relationship worries and coping with strong emotions. That work is collaborative - the counsellor and client decide together what to focus on and how to try new ways of coping over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for conversational sessions that need visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typed conversations or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still keeping the therapeutic relationship central.
