About
Jamie Longson is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings five years of experience to his work with adults navigating the pressures and turning points of everyday life. He is also a father of two young boys and a proud Mancunian, and he understands how quickly responsibilities can pile up when work, family, and personal needs all compete for attention.
With a background in sport science and sport psychology, Jamie takes a practical, goal-aware approach that helps clients notice patterns, set aims that feel achievable, and recognise progress as it happens. He places value on small, steady steps, using them to build momentum and support lasting change over time.
Jamie integrates Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can feel genuinely heard, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on understanding how thoughts and habits can influence emotions and behaviour. Depending on what is most helpful, he may take a more guiding role or follow the client’s lead, while keeping the work grounded in the client’s story and priorities.
He supports clients with concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, self-esteem, relationships, family difficulties, parenting, intimacy-related issues, career worries, and coping with life changes, as well as challenges such as isolation or loneliness, guilt and shame, communication problems, attachment and abandonment issues, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online sessions
Jamie Longson draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a way that can work smoothly in online settings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client sets the pace and feels heard. It can be especially helpful for exploring self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and the sense of feeling stuck or overwhelmed.CBT brings structure and practical tools. It looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours influence one another, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and experiment with new responses. This approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day coping when life feels heavy or fast-moving.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jamie works collaboratively, adjusting the balance of supportive exploration and skills-based work based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what is happening in their life right now. Licensed professionals often adapt sessions as needs change, and therapy can evolve over time rather than follow a fixed script.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support around work, parenting, and other commitments while still staying connected to the therapeutic work.
