Jamie Whaley

Jamie Whaley is a counsellor who works from a client-centred approach. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or anger. Jamie also supports people dealing with life changes, relationship strain, bereavement and LGBT-related concerns.

She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Jamie creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She sees starting therapy as a courageous act and treats each person with respect and care.

Jamie trained to a foundation degree level in counselling and holds BACP. She has four years of practical experience supporting people with a range of emotional and practical problems, including work and career worries and difficulties related to bipolar mood swings.

Her sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people set goals that matter to them. She works collaboratively to find straightforward ways to cope better day to day, such as managing stress, improving self-esteem or handling difficult emotions like anger.

People looking for help with hoarding-related concerns can also discuss this with her. Jamie encourages practical steps alongside exploring feelings, so change can fit into everyday life. If someone wants to begin, she helps them move from the first enquiry to arranging the next appointment.

How client-centred work fits with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and building understanding from the person’s perspective. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps people clarify their feelings, and supports them in setting personal goals. This approach often suits issues such as anxiety, depression, anger and life transitions because it focuses on the person’s experience rather than a rigid plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adapt sessions to match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process, with small steps to test what helps most.

The biography does not state which online session types are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and let people check in from a familiar routine. It can also allow shorter calls for quick check-ins or phone-only meetings if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals often use these formats to help people keep therapy practical and workable alongside everyday life.
