About Julie
Her approach is practical and person-centred. She listens first, then works with each person to build a simple plan that fits their life. Conversations are tailored to the individual, so sessions are not one-size-fits-all.
Julie draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural tools to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. These methods are used alongside client-centred ways of working that keep the person’s choices and pace central.
She has supported people dealing with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, family problems, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, anger, career stress and ADHD-related challenges. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, communication problems, chronic illness and caregiving stress.
Julie aims to work collaboratively so people feel involved in decisions. If you are considering therapy, she asks that you use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In practice this means talking about recurring relationship dynamics and learning new ways to feel and relate. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try out approaches together. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are tight, or for sessions where audio-only is better for bandwidth or comfort. Talk with the counsellor about practical arrangements so sessions fit into everyday life.
