About Julia
Julia Garnham is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and the after-effects of trauma. She is NCPS credentialed, and she aims to create a calm space where people can talk through hard feelings and practical worries. Julia uses a mix of approaches to suit each person.
Sessions often include talking, practical strategies, breathing and mindfulness exercises, and sometimes creative tasks like journaling. She may draw on hypnotherapy for relaxation when it seems useful.
Background and approach
Her work covers depression, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also helps people facing attachment and abandonment concerns, body image worries, caregiver stress, problems after separation, and issues with guilt or shame. Julia pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions.
With four years' clinical experience, she blends supportive listening with clear, step-by-step ideas. Clients can expect practical tools they can use between sessions and short exercises to test new ways of responding. Julia offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging for people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She guides people through the first steps and works collaboratively to find approaches that feel right for each individual.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Julia commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns. This approach helps people understand trust, closeness and reactions to loss or abandonment. Client-Centred Therapy forms another strand of her work, offering a non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and direction and the counsellor listens and reflects. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to practise small experiments that can change day-to-day responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julia explores goals, preferences and how someone responds to different techniques, and she adjusts the plan as needed so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around. That collaborative process helps people try methods that feel practical and manageable.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for a full session where seeing facial cues matters, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments and to keep regular contact while working on change.
