Jamie Cargill, BACP, NCPS

Jamie Cargill is a counsellor who uses client-centred and solution-focused ways of working. He draws on seven years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. He aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, respectful conversations that help people begin to untangle difficult feelings.

He helps people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, relationship worries, and a wide range of intimacy-related issues. He also works with concerns linked to identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria, and with topics like addiction, body image and eating issues. Jamie will tailor sessions to the person in front of him rather than follow a fixed script.

In sessions he emphasizes listening and collaboration. The client-centred approach means the person sets the pace and priorities. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want to find practical steps to try between sessions.

Jamie describes himself as down-to-earth and compassionate. He talks through what has brought someone to counselling and helps clarify achievable goals when clients want that. If a client is unsure, he will help identify small, useful next steps instead of overwhelming aims.

When people start with him, the first meeting usually looks at how they would like to work together. Jamie explains how the counselling relationship will operate and explores immediate concerns. He aims to help people feel more able to understand their thoughts, feelings and patterns so they can find ways to cope and move forward.

How client-centred and solution-focused work online

Client-Centred Therapy is about following the person's lead and offering non-judgemental listening. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps clarify feelings, and supports people to make choices that feel right for them. This approach suits people who need space to talk and to be heard.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical change and small steps. It looks for strengths and past successes, then builds simple, achievable goals to try between sessions. This can help when someone wants concrete ideas to test in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Jamie will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as the work progresses.

If you are considering online counselling, check the current session options before booking since the profile does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations when that better suits someone’s routine or bandwidth. Ask about practical arrangements when you arrange your first session so you know what will work for you.
