About Julie

Counsellor Julie Storr is a BACP and NCPS registered practitioner with ten years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, grief, career and coping with life changes, and offers coaching alongside counselling. Julie is based in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English.

Julie spent 25 years in hospitality management before training as a counsellor. That background shapes how she understands workplace pressure, balancing work and home, and practical strains on everyday life. She trained in a range of counselling approaches and draws on them to suit each person's needs rather than using a single method.

In sessions she aims for plain talk and practical steps. Conversations look at what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating and small changes that can help. She can work with issues around sexuality, intimacy, kink and alternative sex culture without judgement and will discuss these topics directly and openly.

Julie blends client-centred work with elements of cognitive behavioural techniques, existential thinking and solution-focused methods. That means she listens to the person's concerns, looks at thoughts and behaviours that get in the way, considers meaning and values, and tries to identify small, achievable goals.

She usually begins with a short initial conversation to check fit and to plan next steps together. Sessions and practical arrangements are agreed with the person at the start, including how therapy will fit around work and family commitments.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping the person find their own answers. The counsellor gives space to describe concerns and reflects what she hears so the person can clarify their priorities. This approach is helpful for relationships, self esteem and personal difficulties.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out small behaviour changes. CBT techniques can support work on anxiety, mood and coping with stressful situations.

Existential therapy examines meaning, choice and values. It helps people think about life direction, emptiness or questions about purpose. This can be useful when facing major life changes, grief or uncertainty.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences, and agree together which methods to try. That collaboration helps shape practical steps and session focus as work continues.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to keep sessions manageable alongside everyday commitments.
