About Jamie
Jamie Longson is a BACP counsellor who brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to talking through life’s pressures. He combines a direct focus on goals with a warm, listening style. He often uses short-term tools alongside gentle reflection so people can manage today as well as plan for later.
He trained in sport science and sport psychology, which shapes how he looks for patterns in behaviour and thinking. That background helps him set realistic steps and celebrate small achievements that build momentum.
Background and approach
In sessions he blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. The client-centred side gives space to feel heard without judgement. The CBT side offers practical exercises to understand and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Jamie aims to be collaborative. Sometimes he guides the conversation, sometimes he follows the client's lead. He focuses on what matters most to the person in front of him and adapts the pace to fit their needs.
He commonly supports people with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship troubles, parenting concerns and grief. He also addresses issues such as attachment, self-esteem, body image and caregiver stress. His practice is straightforward and solution-focused, with attention to the realities of day-to-day life.

Approaches that suit online parenting support
Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding. It gives people space to talk about what matters without feeling judged, which often helps when life feels overwhelming or confusing.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses straightforward exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree on ways to work together. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, asynchronous reflection and times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting routines and busy days, while keeping the focus on useful, manageable steps.
