About Julie

Julie works from a core person-centred approach and combines other methods to suit each individual. She listens without judgement and aims to understand how someone is feeling. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on practical ways to make things more manageable.
Her background includes work with adults and young people from varied backgrounds and experience supporting people who have worked with emergency services. She has worked with depression, anxiety, loss, grief, PTSD, personality difficulties, low self-esteem and workplace and childhood trauma.
Julie also uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused methods and mindfulness. She offers Rewind Therapy and occasional single sessions using the wheel of life to map areas people feel satisfied or dissatisfied with and to set simple goals for change.
Sessions are offered in English. Julie follows the National Counselling Societyethical framework in her practice and aims to create a clear, respectful working relationship with each person who comes to see her.
How Julie uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Client-centred work puts the person's experience first. It involves open listening and responding to what matters most to the individual, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship concerns and feeling overwhelmed.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on practical strategies. It looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches techniques for managing anxiety, mood and everyday problems.
Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) concentrates on patterns in relationships and emotional responses. It helps identify and change unhelpful interaction styles and can be useful for people noticing repeating relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. The choice of approach can be reviewed as therapy continues.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, childcare or travel. Practical benefits can include shorter check-ins, not needing to travel to an appointment and being able to schedule sessions at times that suit everyday life. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness work to an online setting so the sessions remain focused and practical.
