Julie uses an integrative approach, drawing on several psychotherapy models to suit each person. She describes practical conversations about feelings, coping skills and everyday problems. Sessions aim to make difficult situations easier to manage and to clarify next steps.
Her background includes a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has undertaken courses in anger management, assertiveness, suicide and self-harm awareness and prevention, and other related subjects. Julie has worked in voluntary roles with a local mental health charity and at a hospice supporting people through loss.
She has experience helping people affected by addiction, bereavement, life changes, redundancy and health-related worries. Julie says these roles informed her work with grief and family dynamics.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them, and focuses on living according to personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and day-to-day coping skills.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns developed over time and explores how these affect current relationships and emotional responses. It can be helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns and some relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and recommend or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as things progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions to fit appointments around work, childcare or other commitments, to avoid travel, or to have a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session length and pacing to suit daily life and responsibilities.
