About Jamie
Jamie Longson is a BACP counsellor and a father of two. He brings a down-to-earth, practical style to conversations about stress and anxiety. He keeps sessions straightforward and focuses on small, realistic steps that lead to real change.
Jamie draws on a background in sport science and sport psychology to spot patterns and set achievable goals. He explains things plainly and checks in so progress feels manageable. He celebrates small wins and helps people notice the shifts those wins create.
Background and approach
His way of working blends a warm, person-centred approach with cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT. The person-centred side means he listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead when needed. CBT adds simple tools to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses.
Sessions tend to alternate between listening and practical skill-building. Some meetings are focused on understanding thoughts and feelings. Others are about trying new behaviours and reviewing what worked.
Jamie helps people with a broad range of concerns including relationship strain, parenting stress, low self-esteem, grief, career worries and compassion fatigue. He also supports those dealing with attachment, body image, isolation and other related issues. His aim is to tailor the work to each person’s story and pace.
He works remotely with people in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Jamie uses a person-centred style that prioritises listening and acceptance. This approach creates space to talk about what matters and helps people find their own solutions. It is useful for worries about relationships, identity and feeling stuck.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. CBT offers clear steps and practical exercises that suit problems like anxiety, low mood and stress.
Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. Jamie will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide whether to focus more on listening, practical skills, or a mix of both.
Online therapy with Jamie is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face when helpful. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Text or chat options are useful for brief check-ins or when you want regular, written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the work collaborative and goal-focused.
