Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, practical steps forward. Her core approach is client-centred - she listens without judgement and keeps the person's own goals at the centre. Julie works integratively, drawing on cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused strategies when these fit.
Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas are used to help people notice patterns and build better emotional understanding. She has worked with adults and young people from varied backgrounds, including people who have experienced emergency services contexts. That range of experience informs a flexible style and an ability to adapt to different concerns and rhythms in sessions.
Julie sometimes offers single-session options and uses tools like the wheel of life for focused planning. Her style is warm and compassionate, aiming to help people find clarity and small achievable changes. She encourages people to take the first step towards better emotional wellbeing.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Julie combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people manage anxious thoughts and difficult feelings. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities so they feel understood and supported. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives simple tools to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Julie also uses emotionally-focused principles to help people understand strong emotions and improve how they respond to them. This can be useful for relationship stress, grief, and difficulties rooted in past hurt. Together the therapist and client decide which approach or mix of approaches feels most useful for their goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit around everyday life. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect in their own time. These options allow flexibility so therapy can be integrated around work, family or other commitments.
