About Julie
Julie Fraser is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and issues around eating and sleeping. Julie also addresses concerns like low self-esteem, anger, compassion fatigue and life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the client and building a clear plan together. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and to set short-term goals.
Julie also draws on client-centred and trauma-focused ideas when needed. That means she offers time to talk through painful experiences, alongside strategies to manage strong emotions and reduce day-to-day distress. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when they are relevant to current problems.
In practice this may look like working through immediate relationship problems, making a plan to improve sleep or eating patterns, learning new coping steps for anxiety, or practising communication skills for strained household roles. Sessions aim to be direct and practical, while allowing space to make sense of difficult events.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. In practice this means the counsellor allows time for people to describe their concerns and reflects back what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change eating patterns. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and practical steps to move forward rather than analysing everything in depth.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences and adapt the plan as progress is made. That collaborative way helps make sessions feel purposeful and directly relevant to everyday household and parenting pressures.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also permit sessions without being on camera if that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these options to help people carry therapeutic work into daily routines.
