About Julie-Ann
Julie-Ann Huggins is a counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works online and aims to create a warm, interactive space where people can bring difficult thoughts and feelings. Her approach is conversational and goal-focused, with an emphasis on helping people discover more meaning and purpose in everyday life.
She describes her work as uplifting counselling and psychotherapy that pays attention to natural life cycles and personal leadership.
Background and approach
That means sessions often mix reflective conversation with practical steps to try between meetings. The aim is steady, lasting change rather than quick fixes. Julie-Ann combines methods from several approaches to tailor each plan to the individual.
She helps people understand how they affect others and how patterns developed over time. Issues she commonly addresses include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, addiction and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing life transitions such as career change, caring responsibilities, or coping with loss and long-term illness.
Her style is non-judgemental and supportive, focused on helping clients find solutions and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions invite curiosity about values, habits and choices. Practical work in sessions can include learning new coping skills, trying different ways of thinking about problems, and setting small, achievable goals.
Clients can expect an adaptable programme that blends compassionate listening with active strategies for change.
Practical therapy approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It mixes practical exercises with reflective work to reduce struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings and can help with anxiety and low mood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. It often includes short exercises and skill-building to improve sleep, mood, worry and day-to-day functioning.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections. It can help people understand why they repeat certain responses in relationships and practise different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie-Ann will explore the client's goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone fits when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect in writing between appointments. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work and family life.
