Jamie Maycock, BACP

Jamie Maycock is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people cope with stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She holds BACP accreditation, and draws on that framework to shape supportive, goal-focused work. Jamie writes in plain language and keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth.

Clients meet a calm listener who encourages honest conversation. Jamie aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. She emphasises small, manageable steps rather than big overnight changes.

Her day-to-day practice includes support for trauma and abuse, parenting strains, grief and addiction-related worries. She also helps with mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar, and with ADHD-related challenges in everyday life. Issues around intimacy, self-esteem and career stress are commonly discussed.

Jamie has eleven years of professional experience in the UK. That experience includes work with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress and the ageing process. She brings a practical focus to problems like sleeping and eating difficulties, anger and coping with life transitions.

Therapeutic work often mixes short-term techniques and longer-term reflection. Jamie uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help clients notice patterns and try different responses. She aims to tailor each session to what the person needs right now.

To begin, she supports people in setting realistic goals and building everyday skills that fit into real life. The emphasis is on steady progress and on tools people can use between sessions.

How approach and online work can fit together

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and then act in ways that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and trying practical experiments to change them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences, and may combine elements from different models to suit the situation.

The original biography does not list which online formats are used, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and can help people access support from another location. Many therapists who work online aim to make sessions practical, with tools and tasks that can be tried between meetings.
