About me

Hello, I'm Jamie.

I would love to be part of your support system. Having someone beside you on your healing journey is so important; you are not alone, and you don't have to suffer in silence. I aim to provide a calm, gentle, and patient relationship for all my clients, where you feel safe exploring and growing.

My Approach

I care deeply about the well-being of those I work with. Everyone is welcome in my space, no matter your background, and I want to hear your story. You deserve a non-judgmental environment where you can truly be seen and heard. I draw on several theories of change to help you get to where you want to be, and my priority is to build a strong, trusting relationship so you feel safe. We have all the time we need to create that foundation. While therapy can involve exploring painful feelings, it can also be a surprisingly enlightening experience.

My Therapeutic Style

As an integrated therapist, I don't believe one approach suits everyone. Every client is unique, so I tailor my practice to meet individual needs. At the heart of my work is the person-centred approach, which means offering empathy, acceptance, and understanding. Alongside this, I integrate elements of psychodynamic and transactional analysis theories, recognising how past experiences and long-standing patterns influence how we think, feel, and behave today.

My role is to walk alongside you, offering compassion, honesty, and a non-judgmental presence. Together, we will explore the challenges you face and discover what works best for you. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and counselling can help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and resilience.

Inclusivity

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I know what it's like to feel different from what is considered normal. I work empathetically and without judgment, believing that our differences are what make us unique and beautiful. My own experiences have shown me the value of having a safe and secure space to process trauma, loss, and overwhelming emotions. I know how transformative it can be, and I consider it a privilege to help others through similar challenges.

Areas of Focus

I am passionate about helping people heal from childhood trauma, increase self-confidence, and strengthen their relationships with themselves and with others. I work with those who want to learn how to be kinder to themselves and to explore what healthier boundaries might look like. I also have experience supporting people who have been affected by loss and those from marginalised communities. Through the practice of self-compassion and self-nurturing, I help clients reduce fear and anxiety about painful emotions and move towards greater self-acceptance and resilience.

Availability

I work both online, using Microsoft Teams from my private workspace, and face-to-face in St Ann's Square, Manchester City Centre. I am available Monday afternoons and Tuesday to Friday throughout the day. Sessions are 60 minutes long and can be arranged weekly or biweekly, depending on what feels right for you.

How It Works

I offer a free 15-minute introduction via Microsoft Teams. This allows us to talk about what brings you to counselling, ask one another questions, and see if we feel like a good fit. If you already feel confident about working together, we can skip the introduction and move straight to arranging sessions.

Your First Session
By the end of your first session, you will have a sense of what it feels like to work with me and whether we are a good match. There is no obligation to continue if it does not feel right. What matters most is that you feel comfortable, supported, and confident in your choice.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling. Additionally, I am in advanced training for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), which can be helpful if you feel overwhelmed by painful memories or long-standing emotional triggers; I will complete the qualification in October 26.
