Julie Golding, BACP

Julie Golding is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and big life changes. She works with clients dealing with trauma, self-esteem concerns and motivation, and she also supports people navigating midlife crisis. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters to them.

Julie has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses as a framework for ethical practice. She focuses on listening closely and understanding each person's story before suggesting ways forward. Conversations are practical and grounded, aimed at small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness, and solution-focused thinking to build on what already helps. Julie adapts these methods to the issue at hand, for example supporting someone through grief, caregiver stress, or the questions that come with a midlife reassessment.

She also works with concerns such as abandonment, codependency, control issues, infertility and relationship betrayals, and addresses practical stresses like money worries. Julie aims to help people find clearer choices and more consistent coping skills.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. The emphasis is on supporting people to make changes that fit their life and values, and on building confidence to take the next steps toward wellbeing.

How Julie's approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions, helping people identify why they repeat certain behaviours. Mindfulness helps clients build attention to the present moment and notice thoughts and feelings without immediate reaction, which can reduce anxiety and improve coping. Solution-focused elements concentrate on practical goals and small changes that move someone toward what they want to achieve.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods as the work unfolds, matching tools to the client's needs, goals and preferences rather than sticking to a fixed plan.

For practicalities, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example fitting a short check-in during a lunch break or taking part without needing to travel. Some people find phone or video sessions helpful for quieter conversations, while others prefer options that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally aim to make sessions flexible so that therapy can fit around work, family and other commitments.
