Background and approach

Julie encourages clients to notice their strengths and to use them when tackling difficult feelings. Her approach draws on several ways of working. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines.

Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's own experience and pace. Julie also uses ideas from psychodynamic and Jungian thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs, with practical steps and gentle reflection.

Julie sees therapy as a partnership where the client leads and the counsellor offers guidance and tools. She describes herself as empathetic, open-minded and committed to listening. With three years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Julie brings a grounded, thoughtful presence to sessions.

She aims to help people feel more able to cope and more connected to their own goals.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judging and follows the client's pace, which helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to talk about anxiety or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. Online sessions can include practical exercises, homework and clear steps to reduce anxiety and manage low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with the client's goals and preferences, and she can adapt the mix as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, family or busy days. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, immediate reflections or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into everyday life while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping skills.
