Julie Donnelly
Calm, conversational counselling for life changes
About Julie
Julie Donnelly helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people coping with relationship strain and life changes. Julie works with individuals who are questioning life purpose, facing midlife shifts, or carrying guilt and shame.
Julie uses a warm, listening style in sessions. She focuses on what matters to each person and follows their pace. Her approach is practical and rooted in conversation rather than lecturing.
Background and approach
Her work draws on a mix of talking approaches. That includes client-centred ways of building trust, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and psychodynamic and Jungian themes that look at deeper patterns that repeat in life. Julie holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She has three years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She offers therapy in English and French. Sessions can help people untangle family of origin issues, improve communication, and learn gentler ways of relating to themselves.
Julie pays attention to neurodiversity and mentions experience with Autism and Asperger Syndrome as a focus area. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. People who prefer calm, reflective conversation and practical tools may find her approach helpful.
To start, a short matching questionnaire is used so a suitable time and way to meet can be arranged.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor creates a non-judgemental space and follows what the person brings, helping them feel heard and understood. This approach suits people who need someone to reflect back their thoughts and feelings so they can find their own direction.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes. It is practical and often used for anxiety, stress and low mood by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing new ways of thinking.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Julie will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences and what feels comfortable. Sessions can combine talking and short practical exercises so the plan evolves as trust builds.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or written reflection for people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
