About Julie

She supports clients facing bereavement and life changes, and she also works with people affected by ADHD and panic attacks. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping someone take that first step toward feeling better.

She brings three years of professional experience to sessions and blends methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Humanistic Person Centred ideas, and she has studied Transactional Analysis to understand how people relate to others.

Background and approach

Julie adapts what she uses to the issue in the room rather than following a fixed script. Sessions are led by what the client needs in the moment. Julie aims to be genuine, respectful and compassionate while offering practical ways to reduce distress.

Conversations often include looking at patterns of thought and behaviour, and practising small changes that can ease anxiety and build confidence. People who struggle with loneliness, unclear life purpose or communication problems may find it helpful to work on everyday skills and clearer choices.

Julie pays attention to how grief and loss affect daily life and routines, and she offers steady support while someone adjusts. Her style is calm and down-to-earth. Clients are encouraged to set goals at a pace that feels manageable, with techniques chosen to suit their situation and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Humanistic Person Centred approaches in online sessions. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; it is often used to reduce anxiety and manage panic attacks. Humanistic Person Centred work emphasises understanding a person’s experience and building self-worth through empathic listening and acceptance.

Julie also draws on Transactional Analysis principles to look at relationship patterns and communication habits that can cause stress. Each approach is described and then combined in ways that fit the person’s goals and situation. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process, and she will work with clients to choose methods that match their needs and preferences.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and eye contact for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping skills.
