Julie-Ann Huggins
Finding meaning and clearer ways forward
About Julie-Ann
Julie-Ann Huggins is a BACP counsellor with five years of experience supporting people through hard times. She offers a warm, interactive approach that aims to help people find meaning, build confidence and make lasting changes. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, encouraging open conversation without judgement.
She works online and tailors sessions to each person. That means practical steps are mixed with reflective conversation. Sessions focus on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, sleep and low mood as well as relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
Julie-Ann draws on a range of methods to suit the person in front of her. She uses strategies that help change unhelpful thinking, notice personal values, and improve emotional regulation. The work often includes thinking about attachment patterns and the impact of early relationships on current life.
Clients also bring issues such as addiction, grief, work stress, ADHD, and caregiver strain. She pays attention to body image, eating and the practical pressures that affect day-to-day living. The aim is to find realistic steps that fit each person’s life and goals.
Her sessions are framed as coaching and counselling where appropriate, so some meetings focus on problem solving and others on deeper exploration. People who value a direct but supportive style tend to find this approach helpful. Julie-Ann accepts international clients and holds sessions in English.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It focuses on values and committed action, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change those patterns, which suits issues like panic, sleep problems and unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try out methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the balance between practical tools and deeper exploration as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be good when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins and text messaging suits ongoing reflections over time. These options provide flexibility so people can choose what works best for them and their routine.
