About Jamie
Jamie Maycock is a counsellor who uses straightforward, practical therapy to help people manage anxiety, stress and relationship worries. She holds BACP accreditation and brings 11 years of professional experience in the UK to her sessions. Jamie keeps sessions calm and direct so people can talk about what matters without fuss.
She pays particular attention to how past hurts affect current relationships. That means looking at attachment, patterns of reacting under stress, and how painful experiences like trauma or abuse show up now.
Background and approach
She also addresses life problems such as grief, parenting strain, addiction, and changes at work or home. Her approach combines hands-on strategies and listening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot and change unhelpful thinking.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based action when emotions feel overwhelming. Client-Centred methods ensure conversations stay focused on the person in front of her. Sessions often include practical exercises and simple tools to try between meetings.
Jamie encourages small, achievable steps and checks progress together. She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills when emotional regulation or intense distress is present. People come to her for a wide range of concerns - from sleep and eating issues to ADHD, bipolar, or intimacy-related difficulties.
She works with issues linked to adoption, ageing, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. Her style is steady, respectful and outcome-focused, aimed at helping people move forward at a pace that suits them.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that matches their values. Online ACT sessions often include short exercises, values work and practical steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often involves homework tasks and problem-solving exercises that translate well to remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people explore those patterns in conversation and role-based exercises.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and counsellor choose methods that fit the person’s needs and adapt them over time if something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments and to continue progress even when travel is difficult.
