Jamie Pepper, BACP

Jamie Pepper is a person-centred counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and identity concerns. Jamie works with issues across LGBT matters, grief, addictions, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and ageing and geriatric issues. They aim to make sessions feel calm and approachable from the first contact.

Jamie uses a straightforward style in sessions. Conversations focus on what feels most important to the client right now. Jamie listens without judgement and helps people notice the patterns that shape their feelings and choices.

Their approach draws on client-centred ways of working alongside Trauma-Focused Therapy and elements of Internal Family Systems. That means the work can include slow, careful attention to distress after trauma, and helping people name different parts of themselves and how those parts relate.

Jamie has four years of practical counselling experience and works with people on things like self-esteem, caregiving burden, compassion fatigue, and career worries. They also support people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, eating concerns, and anger.

Sessions are collaborative and shaped around each person’s goals. Clients set the pace and decide what to focus on. Jamie invites people to try different ways of working and to check in about progress along the way.

How Jamie's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and uses listening, reflection and gentle questioning to help people make sense of their experience. It suits people wanting a supportive space to talk through stress, identity questions, caregiving strain, or life changes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process the effects of trauma in a paced way. It can include grounding, careful revisiting of difficult memories when ready, and ways to reduce day-to-day distress.

Internal Family Systems helps people notice different parts of themselves and how those parts influence feelings and behaviour. It can be useful for work on self-esteem, codependency, anger, guilt or feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative decision and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, such as during a lunch break or when travel is difficult. Please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as the profile does not list them. Practical benefits include being able to meet from different locations and choosing session times that suit your routine.
