Jamie Longson, BACP

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.
