About Julie

Julie James helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and the strain of life changes. She also supports those coping with ADHD, panic attacks, feelings of isolation and questions about life purpose. She writes simply and directly, and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

Julie draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Humanistic Person Centred counselling in her work, and has studied Transactional Analysis to understand how people relate to one another.

Background and approach

She blends these approaches to suit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps people can try between meetings. Her style is warm and straightforward.

She aims to be genuine and respectful, and to listen before suggesting any different ways of thinking or acting. People can expect clear explanations of ideas and simple tools to practise at home. Julie has three years of experience working with the listed concerns and has supported people through bereavement and loss.

Her background centres on helping people rebuild confidence and cope with change. She works in English and based in the United Kingdom. For those starting out, Julie encourages small, steady steps so therapy feels manageable and relevant to everyday life.

How Julie uses therapy techniques online

Julie often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses simple experiments and exercises to reduce anxiety, panic and negative self-talk. She also uses Humanistic Person Centred counselling, which focuses on listening and building self-understanding so people can find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Julie treats the choice of method as a collaboration and will adapt techniques to what suits the person's goals and preferences. She will explain options and check in regularly to see what is helping.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a short check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want quick access between meetings. Overall online work can make therapy easier to fit around school, work and family life.
