About Julie
Julie Carleton is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and a BACP registration. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, and those coping with loss or difficult life changes. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
Julie adapts conversations to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most and works with clients to set clear, achievable aims. Sessions are straightforward and practical, with time spent talking through current problems and finding ways to make small changes.
Julie has worked with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, family conflict, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, issues around intimacy, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar mood difficulties and compassion fatigue. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work and keeps the focus on what will help in day-to-day life.
People who prefer a compassionate, grounded style tend to find her helpful. She offers a calm space to discuss painful feelings and develop coping strategies. The aim is to support progress at a pace that suits each person.
Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are discussed up front so the work fits around life. Julie encourages anyone feeling stuck to consider a first conversation to see if it feels like the right fit.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape practical work in sessions. One approach focuses on teaching coping skills for stress and anxiety, helping people recognise patterns of thought and try simple behaviour changes that reduce worry and tension. Another approach concentrates on processing grief and trauma by pacing conversations and building ways to manage strong emotions between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences and life situation, and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative decision and plans are reviewed as you progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls suit longer, face-to-face style conversations while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in more frequently or fit brief sessions into busy days. These options help make therapy accessible around work, family or travel commitments.
