Welcome to Calmer Counselling.

I'm Jamie, a seasoned counsellor with over 25 years of experience in counselling, coaching, mentoring, and promoting emotional well-being.

My journey has taken me through diverse environments, from the UK armed forces to healthcare and educational settings where I’ve supported people through various challenges with empathy and respect.

A Safe, Confidential Space for Personal Growth

At Calmer Counselling, I’m committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, or life transitions, my goal is to help you find clarity, peace, and resilience in a world that often feels overwhelming.

A Tailored, Integrative Approach to Therapy

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques tailored to meet your unique needs. My approach combines evidence-based methods with insights from my own life experience, allowing us to work together on achieving both short-term relief and long-term growth. With a focus on active listening and collaborative exploration, I aim to empower you to overcome obstacles, build self-understanding, and achieve meaningful progress in your life.

Areas of Specialisation

I welcome clients from all walks of life, I have extensive experience in helping both adults and teenagers address a range of issues:

• Anxiety and Depression

• Anger Management

• Grief and Bereavement

• Neurodiversity Challenges

• Family and Relationship Issues

• Trauma and Injury Recovery

• Self-Esteem and Self-Image

• Support for Public Sector Workers, Veterans, and Emergency Services

As a UK armed forces veteran myself, I am particularly passionate about supporting both current and former service members, as well as other frontline professionals in healthcare and emergency services. I understand the unique stresses of these roles and am committed to providing informed, empathetic support.

LGBTQ+ Affirming and Neurodiversity-Informed

Inclusivity and respect are at the heart of Calmer Counselling. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist dedicated to offering an open, supportive environment for clients of all orientations and identities. My practice is also informed by a deep understanding of neurodiversity, enabling me to provide tailored support to clients with conditions like ADHD and autism.

To ensure the highest standard of care, I limit my practice to specific areas. Currently, I am unable to provide counselling for:

• Children under 11 years old

• Eating Disorders

• Serious Addiction to Drugs or Alcohol

Professional Accreditation and Ethical Standards

I am a proud member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and adhere strictly to their Code of Ethical Conduct. My clients’ well-being is always my top priority, and I continually strive to uphold the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and care.
