Jamie Longson, BACP

Jamie Longson is a BACP-registered counsellor whose approach combines warmth, practical tools, and a down-to-earth perspective shaped by a background in sport science and sport psychology. He is a proud Mancunian, a father of two young boys, and someone who brings an optimistic, everyday energy into his clinical work. Jamie focuses on helping people notice unhelpful patterns, set realistic goals, and recognise the small changes that add up to real progress.

He blends Client-Centered Therapy - creating a non-judgemental space where clients are heard and respected - with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which offers practical techniques to understand and shift unhelpful thinking. Some days he takes a guiding role and on others he follows the client’s lead, always adapting the pace to the individual’s needs. Jamie describes his role as helping clients find a map for their story while equipping them with tangible strategies to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

With five years of experience, Jamie works with a broad range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges, self-esteem and depression, grief and family difficulties, intimacy-related issues, career concerns, and coping with life changes. He aims to listen without judgement and to tailor therapy to each person’s situation, drawing on both practical exercises and empathic, client-focused conversation.
