Approaches that translate well to online sessions

Jamie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on practical exercises and simple experiments that often work well during video or phone sessions. Motivational Interviewing is another frequent tool; it helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum when motivation is low. This approach is conversational and suits chat or live messaging as well as calls.

Finding the right method is a shared process. Jamie talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they try approaches that match those needs and adjust as progress is made. The therapist supports small, testable steps so people can see what feels useful.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. Video lets therapists and clients use visual cues, while phone calls can feel more immediate for some. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, practicing skills, or when a calmer, written format is preferred. These options aim to make it easier to fit regular sessions into everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
