About Jamie
Jamie Longson trained in sport science and sport psychology before moving into counselling. He holds BACP accreditation and has five years of practice. Jamie writes in a direct, practical way and keeps sessions straightforward.
He is a father of two and brings that everyday perspective into his work. Jamie blends client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural therapy, so sessions include both listening and practical tools. He creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can say difficult things.
How Jamie works
Then he helps spot unhelpful thinking and build small, realistic goals that fit day-to-day life. His style is collaborative - sometimes he leads with specific exercises, and sometimes he follows the person's priorities. He focuses on simple strategies that can be used between sessions.
Celebrating small wins is an important part of how he measures progress. Jamie helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and self-esteem problems. He also supports people with relationship issues, parenting strain, career worries and coping with life changes.
Additional areas he works with include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and are organised around the client's needs. Jamie uses practical CBT techniques alongside a person-centred approach to keep work clear and manageable.
He aims to make therapy feel like a series of small, achievable steps rather than one big leap.

How Jamie uses talking therapy online
Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a warm, non-judgemental space so people can speak openly and work out what matters to them. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, isolation and family difficulties.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new coping steps. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie discusses goals and preferences together and adapts methods over time. The client and counsellor decide collaboratively whether to focus more on listening, skills work or a mix of both.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls suit a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow flexible, written exchanges that can fit around work or family life. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into a busy routine, while letting the person choose how they prefer to communicate.
