Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Jamie draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns - this approach helps people understand trust, closeness and separation worries and is often useful for relationship and abandonment issues. He also uses Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative, goal-focused method that helps people clarify their motivation for change and address behaviours such as substance use or difficulties with commitment. In addition, Jamie integrates psychodynamic ideas to examine recurring feelings and internal conflicts that can underlie problems like low self-esteem or guilt.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Jamie treats that choice as a collaboration. He works with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and personal preferences and adapts techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Jamie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life transitions and allow people to access support from wherever they are while working together with a registered professional.
