About me and my practice
Jamie is a psychodynamic counsellor based in Leicester, offering confidential counselling in person and online across the UK.
He works particularly with people who struggle with guilt, self-criticism, overthinking, and patterns of putting others first at their own expense. You may find yourself worrying about how you come across, feeling responsible for other people's feelings, or finding it difficult to say no. You might avoid conflict, struggle to express frustration, or feel held back by self-doubt even when things seem to be going well.
Psychodynamic counselling explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape your thoughts, emotions, relationships and ways of coping. Jamie offers a professional space where you can slow down, reflect and explore what may be underlying these difficulties.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and Jamie aims to work with curiosity and care, helping clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

His work is particularly focused on guilt, shame, self-criticism, people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, overthinking and relationship difficulties. He works with adults experiencing emotional conflicts that are suited to psychodynamic exploration.
