Julie Gregory-Bateman
Calm practical therapy for life’s hard moments
About Julie
Julie Gregory-Bateman works from an integrative, person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She uses clear, practical conversation and structured techniques to support clients who feel overwhelmed or uncertain. Julie speaks plainly and offers a steady, non-judgmental space to talk at a comfortable pace.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape feelings today and on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Trauma-focused methods are used when past distress keeps affecting daily life. Julie adapts the mix to what each person needs rather than following a rigid formula. Her background includes a Master of Science degree (Distinction) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, a diploma in counselling and psychotherapy skills, and an advanced diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Before counselling she worked for several years in business management roles across finance, logistics, procurement and hospitality. That experience informs a practical outlook and an understanding of workplace stress and life transitions.
She also holds an accreditation certificate in dementia and related patient care. Julie uses straightforward talk, gentle challenge and practical coping strategies. Sessions can cover current problems, patterns from the past, or a mix of both depending on what feels most helpful.
She aims to help people find clearer options and feel more able to carry on. Outside work she enjoys community projects and spending time outdoors with her dog, and values small rituals that steady everyday life.

How Julie’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions, helping people understand patterns of closeness and distance. This can be useful for managing anxiety, isolation and difficulties in relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small changes in behaviour to lift mood and reduce stress. It suits people who want practical tools for day-to-day coping. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the hold past events have on current life through paced, supportive techniques that address traumatic memories and their effects.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works together with each person to choose which methods to try, adapting them to personal goals and preferences. That shared planning means sessions can shift focus as needs change, whether working on coping skills, processing painful memories, or understanding relationship patterns.
Online sessions make regular work more flexible. Video calls are good for a therapy-like conversation with visual cues, phone sessions fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations, and live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or need short, timely support. These options help people fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel, while keeping continuity between appointments.
