About Julie
Counsellor and member of BACP, Julie Fraser has six years of practice in the United Kingdom and works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and relationship difficulties. She helps people who are coping with grief, parenting strains, career stress and changes in life. Julie also supports those dealing with self-esteem, anger and sleeping or eating problems.
Julie uses straightforward talking therapy. She listens and helps people say what matters to them. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to make things feel more manageable.
Her approach draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means she pays attention to a person’s feelings and experiences while also working on unhelpful thinking and small changes in actions. She may also bring in solution-focused tools to set short-term, achievable goals.
Julie has experience working with trauma and abuse and may use trauma-focused methods when relevant. She also works with issues linked to attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, body image and autism or Asperger Syndrome related concerns.
People describing problems with family, parenting, fatherhood and communication can expect practical conversation and agreed steps to try between sessions. Sessions can address intimacy-related worries, compassion fatigue and co-morbidity where needed. Julie offers therapy in English and does not take international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Julie commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in her practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel heard and can find their own solutions; it suits people who need time to talk through feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Julie will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed over time and can change as progress is made.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family time, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often tailor session length and frequency to practical needs, so discuss what suits everyday life when arranging the first session.
