About me
Make sense of what is happening and decide what comes next
I'm Jamie, a counsellor working in private practice and within one of the UK's leading Employee Assistance Programmes.
Many of the people I work with arrive feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Others are facing bereavement, illness, relationship difficulties, work pressures, or significant life changes.
Whatever has brought you here, counselling offers the opportunity to slow things down, make sense of what is happening, and decide what comes next.
You do not need to have everything worked out before we speak. We can begin exactly where you are.
What I Offer
My role is not to tell you what to think or what decisions to make.
Instead, I work alongside you to understand your experiences, explore what may be getting in the way, and help you find a path forward that feels right for you.
Some clients need space to untangle difficult emotions. Others want practical ways to manage anxiety, stress or uncertainty. Most benefit from a combination of both.
My core training is in person-centred counselling, which means our work begins with your experience rather than a fixed agenda. Alongside this, I draw on my postgraduate training in Mindfulness and Compassion where it may be helpful.
Where helpful, I also draw on an understanding of how stress, anxiety and habit patterns affect the nervous system, helping clients make sense of what they are experiencing in practical terms.
Sessions are available online via Zoom, WhatsApp video or telephone.
Men and Counselling
I have a particular interest in supporting men.
Many of the men I meet have spent years carrying pressure alone. They are often used to solving problems themselves and can feel uncertain about counselling or whether talking will help.
Counselling does not require you to be good at talking about feelings. It does not require you to have all the answers.
It simply requires a willingness to start where you are.
Whether the issue is anxiety, stress, bereavement, relationships or a general sense that something is not right, counselling provides a place to understand what is happening and decide what comes next.
What Is the Cost?
Sessions are £60 for 50 minutes, with a concessionary rate of £45 available for students and trainee counsellors.
Longer 90-minute sessions are available on request for £75.
If circumstances change, I am happy to discuss fee arrangements and find a practical solution where possible.
Getting Started
The first step is simply a conversation.
If you would like to explore counselling, send me an email or text message and we can arrange an informal discussion about what has brought you here and whether I feel like the right fit for you.
There is no pressure to commit and no expectation that you make a decision immediately.
I usually respond within 24 hours and aim to begin working with new clients within three working days of our first contact.
Training, qualifications & experience
Training, Qualifications and Experience
I hold a First Class BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling Practice from the University of Nottingham and a Postgraduate Diploma in Mindfulness and Compassion from Coventry University.
I have supported clients since 2018 and have been practising professionally since qualifying in 2019.
Alongside private practice, I work within one of the UK's leading Employee Assistance Programmes and co-facilitate therapeutic mindfulness groups at Maggie's Cancer Centre in Nottingham.
My experience includes anxiety, stress, bereavement, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, illness and loss of confidence, while also supporting many clients whose concerns do not fit neatly into a single category.
I undertake regular continuing professional development and clinical supervision to ensure my work remains safe, ethical and effective.
I am a Professional Accredited Registrant with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
My Background
Like many people who enter the helping professions, my own experience of counselling played a significant role in shaping the path that led me here.
Experiencing the value of being listened to, understood and supported during difficult periods of life developed a lasting interest in personal growth, wellbeing and helping others navigate their own challenges.
That experience continues to inform the grounded, respectful and human approach I bring to my work today.
