ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Jamie
I’m a psychodynamic counsellor working with adults experiencing anxiety and overthinking – online across the UK, and face to face in Epsom, Surrey. Choosing a therapist is personal. You may want to know a little about me before deciding whether to get in touch. I hope these words help.
What drew me to counselling was a curiosity about people and how our experiences shape the way we think, feel and relate to others. I offer a calm, conversational space where you can speak openly and explore what matters to you.
MY APPROACH
How I work
You don't need to have everything worked out before coming to therapy, and there isn't a right or wrong place to begin. We'll take time to think together about whatever feels important to you, with curiosity, care and compassion.
Some sessions may focus on what's happening in your life now, while at other times we might notice patterns in your thoughts, feelings and relationships.
Rather than rushing to find solutions, we'll try to understand what's happening and why certain things may affect you as they do. Over time, understanding yourself better can help you respond to life's difficulties in different ways.
OUR CONVERSATIONS
Do we just talk about the past?
One of the questions I often hear is, “Will we spend all our time talking about my childhood?” The simple answer is no.
Psychodynamic counselling isn't about dwelling on the past. We might talk about your childhood, but we'll also talk about what's happening in your life now – your relationships, your worries and the things you find difficult.
Sometimes, looking at where certain patterns began can help us understand why they keep showing up today. The past matters, but it isn't the whole story.
TRAINING & MEMBERSHIP
My professional background
I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold a DipHE (Distinction) in Psychodynamic Counselling from the University of Greenwich.
My work is guided by the BACP Ethical Framework, and I regularly undertake continuing professional development to reflect on and develop my practice.
