About Julie
Julie creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly about what is worrying them. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at identifying small, useful changes. She listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps people try different ways of responding.
Her work often covers major life shifts and coping with loss, including the tangled emotions that follow separation, ageing or family change. Julie also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness, and problems with control or impulsivity. She pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and choices.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals such as improving sleep, reducing substance use, or finding ways to manage guilt and shame. Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical steps and homework between meetings. Progress is discussed openly so plans can change if something is not working.
People can expect direct, compassionate conversation and straightforward suggestions they can try at home. Julie welcomes international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, clients follow the site booking steps and schedule according to availability.

How Julie uses evidence-based approaches online
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence, useful for worry, guilt and low mood. Another approach emphasises changing everyday habits and routines to improve sleep, reduce impulsive behaviours or support recovery from addiction.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client's goals, needs and what feels comfortable. Clients are invited to give feedback so the approach can be adjusted if needed.
If you prefer to meet online, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in on difficult days. They also let people continue therapy when relocating or travelling internationally. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will best meet your needs during the initial scheduling conversation.
