About Julie
Julie McAulay is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She supports people dealing with grief, loss and big life changes. Julie aims to build practical steps that feel achievable when life feels overwhelming.
She works in a straightforward, respectful way and treats each person as the expert in their own life. Julie draws out strengths a person already has and uses them to tackle current problems.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to change. Julie holds NCPS as a listed credential and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. That background means she has worked with common concerns such as panic attacks, social anxiety, Seasonal Affective Disorder and feelings of guilt or shame.
In sessions she helps people set clear, small goals and tries different practical strategies until something fits. She uses plain language and steady support rather than jargon. Many people find this approach useful when they need help rebuilding confidence after setbacks.
The starting process is simple and aims to be low pressure. Julie encourages open conversation about what client hopes to get from counselling and what would feel most helpful. From there she and the client plan next steps and a way forward.
Approaches for anxiety and online care
Julie uses evidence based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps people can try. One approach helps people learn to recognise and respond differently to anxious thoughts and bodily signals, which can reduce panic and social fear over time. Another approach concentrates on setting small, achievable goals and building daily routines to lift mood and steady energy, which is often helpful for depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder.Working out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to the client's goals and life context, then suggests options and adjusts the plan as they go. Clients and therapist review what helps and what does not, and change direction when needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face to face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera feels tiring. Live chat and text based messaging suit quick check ins, shorter reflections or for those who prefer typing to talking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
