ABOUT

THERAPEUTIC STYLE & VALUES

Jamie is a registered and experienced clinical psychologist who recognises the importance of creating a safe and non- judgemental space for individuals who come to therapy at a challenging time in their lives.

He understands the relationship between client and therapist is central to therapy and is dedicated to fostering a strong relationship.

Jamie focuses on building a deeper understanding of difficulties which may be interfering in people’s lives and how to intervene.

Jamie aims to work on promoting change through drawing on client’s strengths to help enhance well-being, to live a rich and meaningful life. He focuses on working with and treating the whole person rather than individual symptoms that they may experience.

EXPERIENCE

Jamie has worked across several public and private mental health settings, and specialises in working with young adults and adults across a broad range of mental health issues. He believes that as humans, we all experience pain and suffering at different points in our lives.

Jamie focuses on trying to help people become unstuck and connect with the things that are important in their lives. He aims to break down the stigma attached to speaking about your mental health acknowledging that mental health issues are something we are all touched by in some way.

APPROACH

Jamie uses an eclectic, client-centred approach to his work drawing on a number of different evidence-based therapies, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Motivational interviewing (MI)

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

  • Narrative Exposure Therapy for trauma treatment

  • Solution Focused Therapy

  • Self- compassion approaches

  • Mindfulness-based intervention

Jamie conducts in-person, telehealth and phone counselling sessions.
