About Julie
Counsellor and BACP member Julie Leeper has six years of professional experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with addictions, grief and loss, sleeping difficulties, parenting concerns and coping with life changes.
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make sense of difficult moments. She focuses on practical conversation and learning simple ways to manage distressing feelings and habits. Sessions look at what is happening now and what can be changed step by step.
People come to Julie for help with many related problems. These include abandonment and attachment issues, relationship and communication problems, divorce and separation, and struggles with guilt or shame. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, illness or disability, and those dealing with substance misuse.
Her way of working is direct and conversational. She listens, reflects what she hears and helps clients try different approaches between sessions. Progress is often practical rather than theoretical, with small tasks and new routines discussed in plain terms.
Julie accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Costs vary with location and are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches used and what online counselling looks like
Julie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach looks at current patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches straightforward skills to manage distress and cravings; this can help with addictions and impulsivity. Another approach concentrates on coping with loss and difficult emotions by encouraging gentle reflection and routine changes to improve sleep and day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss different methods with the client and decide together which fits best. The client’s needs, goals and preferences shape those decisions, and adjustments are made over time as progress is reviewed.
If you want online counselling, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be useful for keeping continuity of support if you move location, while the therapist and client agree practical arrangements like timing, length and how sessions will be structured.
