About me
Experienced COSRT and BACP registered therapist offering psychotherapy, psychosexual therapy and relationship therapy to individuals and couples in Tavistock, Devon, Lostwithiel and St Austell, Cornwall and online across the UK.
Life can be challenging. We can experience difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, relationship strains or simply feel stuck in repeated patterns of behaviour. I offer a calm, confidential space to explore what is happening beneath the surface, make sense of your experiences and move towards meaningful change.
Sessions support anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and life transitions, as well as relationship difficulties, communication breakdown, intimacy issues and sexual concerns such as low desire, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus and performance anxiety. Jamie’s psychotherapy work is informed by a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic framework
My approach is warm, direct and non-judgemental. I aim to create a space where you can slow down, speak openly, and feel supported to understand what is happening in your inner world and your relationships. I’m committed to creating an inclusive, non-judgemental environment where you can speak openly — at your own pace — about topics that can be hard to bring into words.
Training, qualifications & experience
My work is informed by extensive specialist postgraduate training with Tavistock Relationships, world-renowned leaders in the field of relationship and psychosexual therapy. Combining this with my clinical experience working as a Psychosexual Therapist at 56 Dean Street, London, one of the UK’s most respected sexual health clinic’s allows me to work with complex emotional, relational and sexual difficulties with care, sensitivity and professionalism.
As a registered member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I worked to both their ethical framework and professional guidelines.
I hold a post graduate diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from Staffordshire University and a post graduate diploma in Psychosexual therapy from Tavistock Relationships.
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.
COSRT is the UK’s leading membership organisation for therapists specialising in sexual and relationship issues.
All members must abide by their Code of Ethics and the performance of accredited members is regularly monitored.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Psychosexual therapy – individuals and couples
Sex and intimacy difficulties can impact our confidence, closeness and relationships. I offer specialised psychosexual therapy to both individuals and couples in Tavistock and St Austell that can help with difficulties such as desire discrepancies, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus, pain during sex and performance anxiety. Psychosexual therapy sessions are collaborative, respectful and paced in accordance to your needs.
Relationship therapy – individuals and couples
I work with both individuals and couples in Tavistock and St Austell to explore many reasons why you are struggling in your relationship. You may be experiencing difficulties with boundaries or attachment issues, be stuck in conflict or mistrust or experiencing difficulties around intimacy. I create a calm, non-judgemental environment where difficult experiences including those that may be difficult to talk about can be explored sensitively and safely.

Further information
LGBTQ+ counselling
LGBTQ+ people can face discrimination and rejection, even from those closest to them. I work with sexual and gender diverse clients to help them overcome the trauma they’ve experienced. You may feel misunderstood and unheard. I’m here to listen.
Health counselling
It’s difficult to come to terms with a lifechanging health condition. The challenge is even greater when there’s stigma around that condition, as is the case with HIV, addiction-related illnesses and so on. You may feel angry, let down and isolated. And you may blame yourself or those around you. I help people to learn to live with their health condition and to deal with the trauma that may surround it.
I also have experience of working with boarding school syndrome, this comes from both a lived experience and training with Nick Duffell.
