Background and approach
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy gives tools to shift unhelpful thinking and build healthier routines. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationships shape current patterns.
Across seven years of practice she has worked with a broad range of concerns, including bipolar symptoms, ADHD, intimacy-related issues and relationship struggles. She also supports people facing ageing or caregiver stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, and body-image difficulties. Her BACP credential is shown as BACP.
Sessions are offered in English and Julia accepts international clients. She offers a variety of online formats to suit different lifestyles, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Her approach focuses on small, achievable changes that fit into everyday life.
People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth counsellor may find her style helpful. She encourages clients to use their own strengths while trying new ways to manage emotions and cope with challenges.

How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what truly matters to them and take small, values-led steps even when difficult feelings are present. It is often useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to improve mood and routines; it suits problems like depression, sleep difficulties and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences influence current ways of relating and can help with intimacy concerns, communication problems and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which blend of methods fits their goals and preferences. That might mean using ACT ideas one week and CBT skills the next, or bringing attachment-focused reflection into practical skills training.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow a fuller conversation and face-to-face dialogue. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, day-to-day coaching and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy schedules, while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
