About Jamie

Jamie Maycock is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Jamie also supports issues such as ADHD, grief, addiction and identity questions related to LGBT experiences.

Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She listens and helps people name what is most pressing. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change and on small, doable steps that can make life easier.

Jamie draws on therapies that help with thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She uses approaches that encourage acceptance, explore attachment patterns, and centre the person's own goals. These methods are used to address panic, low mood, relationship patterns and the knock-on effects of trauma.

She has worked across a range of presenting problems, including eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem and career stress. Additional areas Jamie has supported include adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness and caregiver strain. Her background includes helping people cope with big life changes and the practical demands that follow.

People who meet Jamie can expect direct conversation about everyday pressures like work, study and relationships. The focus is on clear steps and understanding what matters most to the client. Those considering a first session are invited to make a practical plan for what to try between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then practise actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, rumination and getting moving again when life feels stalled. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people understand and change unhelpful interaction styles. It can be helpful for intimacy issues, relationship conflict and some trauma-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try ways of working and adjust the approach over time if something feels a better fit.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts or work commitments and reduce travel time. It also allows for different kinds of check-ins - for example shorter phone sessions when time is tight, or video meetings when visual cues are useful. Registered or accredited professionals can help set practical boundaries for sessions so they fit into everyday life.
