Jamie Doyle, BACP

Jamie Doyle is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He works from a person-centred base, helping people navigate challenges such as trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, burnout, and chronic illness. Having worked for an NHS Trauma Team and for several charities that support survivors of abuse, Jamie brings focused experience supporting people through difficult life events and recovery.

Clients meet a warm and laidback practitioner who aims to build trust and a collaborative working relationship. That atmosphere is intended to help people feel comfortable sharing their experiences and emotions while they explore change at their own pace. Jamie combines the core values of person-centred practice - empathy, acceptance, and a respectful, non-judgemental stance - with practical training in other methods to tailor work to each person.

He holds a diploma in CBT, which is a structured, skills-based approach that can help with patterns of unhelpful thinking and behaviour. He also has further professional training in Internal Family Systems and trauma-focused techniques, and he can draw on these methods as appropriate to shape sessions around an individual’s needs and goals. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Client-centred approaches and online support

Jamie practices from a person-centred foundation, which focuses on creating an empathetic, accepting environment where the client leads the pace and direction of therapy. This approach helps people explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and regain confidence when facing issues like low self-esteem, grief, or relationship difficulties.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques when helpful - a practical, skills-based method for identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, depression, or burnout. Additionally, Jamie has training in Internal Family Systems, a way of working that explores different parts of a person’s inner experience to reduce internal conflict and support healing after trauma.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Jamie works collaboratively with each client to decide what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable.
