I've worked with Jamie for a couple months now. It has been incredibly helpful to be heard and to have some deep insight on my ways of life, how to approach what bothers me and how to develop what makes me thrive. He is a fantastic therapist, and he's helped me through a lot.

More about Jamie
- 3 years' experience

- BACP
I'm Jamie. I have chosen to practice person centred counselling because people have shown me, time and time again, that they know what is best for them.
I know that life events, relationship difficulties, challenges at work, experiences from our past can get in the way of us acting in our own best interests. Counselling with me is about taking time to acknowledge the difficult experiences and talking them through.
The type of counselling that I practice means that I don't give advice, I don't provide solutions, I don't fill silences and I don't judge the course of action that you choose to take. I want to stick with you as you deal with the contradictions, challenges and curiosity that life brings your way.
I have a certificate in Counselling Skills and a Masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. My first degree is in Political Science and Social Policy - I'm passionate about social justice and that sense of wanting people to be included and free from shame underpins my therapeutic approach. I've delivered over 1,000 sessions of therapy through BetterHelp and 400 sessions in other therapeutic settings.
My desire to listen to you, properly, is based on my years of working with people who have gone unheard by others and who don't want to ignore themselves and their needs any more. I think that being heard and being supported as you confront your challenges can be transformational and I'm privileged you're thinking about working with me.
I'm based in Scotland and when we meet, I'll be in my therapy room: either at home, or in the community centre that I work out of.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have found Jamie very good to work with
Jamie is kind, non judgemental and supportive. I’ve had previous therapists who were very neutral and passive - which I understand but it can feel frustrating. I like that Jamie responds and validates my feelings, and even expresses his own opinion, and at the same time he always checks in with me that his observations are accurate. (They are!) I spend a lot of my life feeling like my emotions are too much, like they’re selfish, and I am not entitled to feel the way I feel. I couldn’t tell you exactly what it is he does, but the way Jamie listens and speaks with me makes me feel like I’m allowed to have my feelings, like I’m valid and deserve to exist. I can’t explain how much that means to me, but I think people who need this will know! On a more practical note, Jamie has always been punctual, reliable, and offered me flexibility when needed. I highly recommend him as a therapist.
Jamie put me at ease right away and has given me the space to start exploring my emotional responses. I really feared talking about how I was feeling but now really look forward to our calls.
Jamie is like the impartial best friend everyone longs for! He's honest about my situation and also refrains from giving advice where there is none to give, and I just have to wait and see. I feel this is authentic and I value his thoughts and guidance, rather than someone pressing a viewpoint on me. He is currently helping me get through one of the stickiest phases of my life and I truly appreciate it.
In the short amount of time I have spent with Jamie, I feel comfortable voicing my concerns about various situations in my life. Jamie makes the mood of his sessions very relaxed with his calm demeanor and his general chat.
Jamie has been excellent, we’ve been speaking for almost a month now and I feel really comfortable speaking to him, he offers some great insights and different angles to thinking, i look forward to our sessions and would highly recommend him.
Jamie’s strongest gift is the way he is able to listen intently, allow you to feel and speak your mind and his kind soft energy also makes the session a pleasure every time.
