About me
I work with people who feel weighed down by anxiety, low mood, or the pressure to meet everyone else’s expectations. Some are exploring their sexuality or gender identity and many are navigating questions about who they are, their purpose and where they belong.
You might be feeling disconnected from others or driven to over-achieve to please the people around you, while privately struggling with shame, self-doubt, or a sense of being stuck. You might also feel that family dynamics or a life transition have left you questioning your identity, purpose, or place in the world.
Therapy can offer a space to pause and reflect. You don’t need to have it all figured out; what matters is the wish for things to feel different.
About Me
I’m Jamie, a BACP-registered integrative counsellor and an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist. I know how daunting it can feel to take the first step, which is why I aim to make sessions safe, supportive, and down-to-earth.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade in teaching and teacher education, where I learned the value of meeting people with warmth, curiosity, and respect. I bring that same approach to my counselling practice.
How Therapy With Me Can Help
In our sessions, you’ll have space to speak openly without judgement. I’ll listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and sometimes gently challenge you - helping you understand yourself better, feel more grounded, and make changes that last.
Creating an Inclusive Space
I’m deeply committed to creating an inclusive space. I pay attention to how culture, race, gender, sexuality, and life experiences shape who we are and how they impact the challenges we face.
Getting in Touch
Taking the first step can feel daunting which is why I offer a free 20-minute call with no pressure. This is a chance to ask questions, get a sense of how we might work together, and see if I feel like the right fit for you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
