Jamie Cargill, BACP, NCPS

Jamie Cargill is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works from a client-centred approach. He has seven years of professional experience and helps people around stress, anxiety, grief, relationship issues and LGBTQ+ concerns. He aims to make early sessions straightforward and calm for anyone feeling unsure about starting therapy.

He focuses on listening and following the person’s lead so sessions stay relevant to what matters most. Jamie uses Client-Centred Therapy to build understanding and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify practical steps forward. He adapts conversations to match each person’s pace and preferences.

Jamie often supports people dealing with self-esteem, addiction, trauma, intimacy-related worries and career or life-change stress. Additional areas he addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, commitment and communication problems, and gender dysphoria. He also works with concerns linked to first responder roles and compassion fatigue.

In the first meeting he explains how counselling will proceed and asks what the person hopes to achieve. If goals are unclear, he helps people identify what matters most and what to work on first. Sessions can be short or long term depending on the individual situation.

Jamie is described as down-to-earth and compassionate, and he tailors the dialogue and plan to each person. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials and conducts work in English within the UK. The practical next step is to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How Jamie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and on shaping sessions around what the person brings. Online or face to face, it helps people feel heard and understood so they can talk through difficult feelings and identify what matters to them.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move things forward. It focuses on strengths and short-term goals, which can be useful for problems like stress, career decisions, or coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jamie treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss what feels helpful based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to lean more on open-ended listening or on goal-focused tasks.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can also make it easier to have a shorter check-in if that suits the day, or to avoid being on camera when that feels better. Because the biography does not specify exact session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know how a session would be arranged.
