Background and approach

That can mean working on sleep, coping skills for panic, or strategies to navigate major life changes. Julie draws on approaches that centre the person and their story. She uses Client-Centred methods to listen closely and create a trusting space.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. She also brings solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or uncertain about change. Narrative techniques are used to reframe difficult experiences and make sense of how they fit into a wider life story.

Sessions are offered in English and available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Julie works with adults on a range of concerns including relationships, family issues, parenting, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and problems with self-esteem and intimacy. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to therapist availability.

Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Julie’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first. It focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people feel heard so they can talk openly about anxiety, grief or relationship worries. Sessions aim to create a supportive space where the client's priorities guide the work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is practical and structured. It helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood. That approach suits problems such as sleep difficulties, anxiety and depression.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change. It uses gentle questions to build motivation and clarify what matters to the person, which can be useful for managing life transitions or making healthier choices.

Matching the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose and adjust methods based on goals, needs and preferences. Sessions often blend styles so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, day-to-day support or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
