Jamie Doyle, BACP

Jamie Doyle is a client-centered therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience supporting people through trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and the challenges of chronic illness and burnout. He has worked with an NHS Trauma Team and a range of charities focused on supporting people affected by abuse, bringing direct experience of trauma-informed care to his practice. Jamie combines a warm, laidback manner with a focus on building trust so clients feel able to explore difficult emotions and painful life events.

Working from a client-centered base, Jamie also holds a diploma in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and has undertaken further training in Internal Family Systems and trauma-focused techniques, allowing him to tailor interventions to each person rather than following a single rigid method. He holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes membership in the UK professional counselling community. Jamie offers support for a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, abandonment and commitment worries, grief and loss, and complex responses to trauma and abuse, and he is open to working with international clients in English.

Client-centered approaches and online therapy options

Jamie works from a client-centered approach that emphasizes empathic listening and respect for each person’s own experience - the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities and creates space for exploration of feelings, relationships and life changes. This approach is often used for issues such as low self-esteem, grief, anxiety and adjustment after loss or trauma.

He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a focused method that explores connections between thoughts, emotions and behaviors and can be useful for managing anxiety, depression and unhelpful coping patterns. Additionally, training in Internal Family Systems offers a way to understand different parts of the self and their roles, which can assist people working through trauma, shame or internal conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jamie will work together with each client to identify goals, try different techniques and adapt the work to the client’s needs and preferences. Registered professionals are available through online sessions, and the practical benefits of video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging include greater flexibility, easier scheduling across time zones and the ability to receive ongoing support from wherever the client is located.
